Hi everyone I'm trying to create a necromancer replacement similar to the new beast master from TCoE. I'd like them to get a scaling undead thrall like the spirit beasts. I've made it in a piece of paper I just can't figure out how to do it. I saw someone made a homebrew version of the updated beastmaster since it's not been implemented so I know something like this can be done. Just not particularly tech savvy and could use some guidance
I don't know how to make the scaling stat blocks like the TCoE beast master has. If you search in the homebrew section for the Beastmaster(primal companion) you can see a guy has added the stat blocks for the primals. That's what I can't figure out
Well, for one thing they won’t actually scale. They present the information, but don’t actually scale as the PC levels up and their PB increases.
What that person did is drag highlight and copy the statblock from the Drakewarden’s Companion and then paste it into their homebrew and adjust the information to match the desired result. That’s it, mostly a simple copy/paste.
Challenge — Proficiency Bonus (PB) equals your bonus
Draconic Essence. When you summon the drake, choose a damage type: acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison. The chosen type determines the drake’s damage immunity and the damage of its Infused Strikes trait.
Actions
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 plus PB to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 1d6 plus PB piercing damage.
Reactions
Infused Strikes. When another creature within 30 feet of the drake that it can see hits a target with a weapon attack, the drake infuses the strike with its essence, causing the target to take an extra 1d6 damage of the type determined by its Draconic Essence.
Oh it must be because I'm on mobile. When I copy it it just pulls the text doesn't give me the nice stat block format like that. I'll try again when I'm home and at a pc

Thanks for the help!
I do it all from my cell phone. You have to grab part of the text above and below it and then delete the extra bits after you paste it.
