Monstrous Specialty
3rd-level Alchemist feature
You gain the ability to summon monsters as an action. Choose a specialty, either Aberrations, Beasts, Celestials, Constructs, Dragons, Elementals, Fey, Fiends, Giants, Humanoids, Monstrosities, Oozes, Plants or Undead.
The monsters you summon have a challenge rating equal to half your level (rounded down) and last for 10 minutes before disappearing again. While summoned, the creature is entirely under your control and follows your commands, accomplishing tasks you set and acting just after you in combat. Depending its type or alignment, the summoned monster may be unfriendly towards you and your allies but will be unable to harm or attack you, as your speciality dictates your control over it. You can have only one monster summoned at a time and may dispel and re summon another as an action. You can summon monsters a number of times per short rest a number of times equal to your intelligence modifier (minimum of 1).
You can only summons monsters of the speciality you choose. At higher levels, you may choose an additional speciality.

Expert Intuition
5th-level Monster Keeper feature
Your research has given you remarkable insight into monsters and their abilities. You can make an intelligence (arcana, investigation) check against a creature you can see, contested by its charisma (deception). If the creature’s type falls under your specialty, you have advantage on this roll. If you are successful, you recognise the creature and learn its vulnerabilities, resistances and immunities. Additionally, the creature has disadvantage on all ability checks, saves and attacks against you.
Secure and Contain
9th-level Monster Keeper feature
Your skill and studies have given you insight into trapping and containing creatures you come across. You can create a number of Monstrous Capsules equal to your intelligence modifier (minimum of 1). These capsules are permanent objects and last indefinitely. As an action you can use a capsule to trap a creature, imprisoning it and placing it under your control. The creature must make a wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. A creature under one of your specialties or one that has already failed against your Expert Intuition makes the save with disadvantage. On a failed save, the creature is absorbed into the capsule unless you choose to free it permanently, vacating the capsule.
While imprisoned or bound the capsule, the creature is charmed by you and follows your orders similar to a summoned creature. A creature from a capsule can be summoned at any time however, you may only utilise one capsule creature at a time. A capsule creature and a summoned creature may be used simultaneously but only one of each at a time.
If you choose to permanently free a creature, it is released from the capsule and no longer charmed by you. The only way to vacate a capsule is to free a creature or for the creature to die.
The Price Of Knowledge
15th-level Monster Keeper feature
Your study of monsters has led you to uncover incredible and horrifying secrets about their natures. As an action, you can cast polymorph on yourself once per long rest. If you transform into a creature not from one of your specialities, you have a 1 in 4 chance of being unable to change back. A remove curse or recasting polymorph on yourself after the reset time ends this effect.
