The SendingStone review

The Black Bear is a formidable opponent with a Challenge Rating of 1/2 in Dungeons and Dragons. With an AC of 11 and 19 hit points, it can take some damage before being defeated. However, its low Charisma score of 7 means it is not very social and may be prone to attacking on sight. Its high Passive Perception of 13 also means it is likely to notice any intruders. Its Bite attack is not particularly strong, but it can still deal damage in combat. Overall, the Black Bear is a decent enemy to face, especially for lower-level players.
