The SendingStone review

The Werebear is a powerful creature with a Challenge Rating of 5, making it a formidable opponent for any adventurer. With high stats in CON and HP, it can sustain a lot of damage and stay in the fight for a long time. Its Neutral Good alignment and CHA of 12 suggest that it is not inherently evil but may be willing to defend itself if provoked. In addition, its immunities make it resistant to certain types of damage, making it even harder to defeat. Overall, the Werebear is a well-balanced creature that can provide a thrilling challenge for players.
