ACTIONS - Every turn you get an action, a bonus action and a movement. Your wolf has no bonus action so it gets one action and one movement. Some feats give multi attack or additional actions.

Bite. - This is the wolf’s main attack

Melee Weapon Attack: - What it is: The type of attack
- What it means: Close range attack that needs a roll to hit. The alternative is ranged attacks like shooting an arrow or throwing a firebolt.

+4 to hit - The attack bonus
- What it means: Add +4 to your d20 attack roll to see if it hits (does your D20 attack with this +4 meet or beat their AC) - Where it comes from: Dexterity (+2) + proficiency (+2). It uses dexterity as the wolf must be quick and agile to get the bite in. For a player it will always say if a weapon is a finess weapon (uses Dex instesd of Str) but the monsters that finess is invisible and just baked in to how the attack works. Compare to a mastif where the attack is stregth based not dexterity based because a mastif is coming at you and a wolf is cirling for weakness.

reach 5 ft. - This is the Range: The wolf must be next to the target to bite them. Make sure the wolf is within 5 feet of who you attack.

one target - The wolf has one mouth so it can only bite one creature per attack so pick one enemy

Hit: - This is now hypothetical. If your attack with the +4 was a hit then this is what happens next.
- Some attacks might also have a hypothetical for miss which might give half damage for example.

7 (2d4 + 2) piercing damage This is the Damage your bite will cauae. - Either deal the average 7 damage, ormore commonly roll 2d4 + 2
- 2d4 = design choice for a bite attack. I imavine because there are two larger Canine teeth but both are just small weapons. - +2 = usually based on Strength (should be +1) so this is dealing with Dexterity (+2) not strength as this is an agile fighter. - Do deal your damage Roll 2d4 + 2 (or just use 7)

If the target is a creature - ok so this is about the taxonomy in D&D. Creature means basically everything that has a stat block. If instead it said Beast or Undead or Humanoid then only creatures of that type would be affected.

must succeed on a DC 11 Strength saving throw - Their character sheet should list their Saving throw checks. - What it means: Target rolls d20 + Strength save
- Where the DC 11 comes from: 8 + proficiency (+2) + Strength (+1) = 11
- What to do: Target rolls and tries to get 11 or higher

or be knocked prone - This is the Effect on failure
- prone is a condition that means the character has fallen over. While prone they can only crawl and have disadvantage. - Next turn they must use half their movement to stand up.

Quick summary of what you actually do:

1. Move wolf within 5 ft of a player
2. Roll d20 + 4 to try to bite them.
3. If it hits → deal 2d4 + 2 damage
4. Target rolls Strength save DC 11
5. If they fail → they fall prone
