-Forewarned is fore-armed. A successful Lore (Monsters) check might explain why certain types of attacks aren't as effective as one might think, what a certain monster eats, or why they are in a certain place. Having this skill allows an adventurer to claim a bonus to fight the same monster that may have been defeated in the past.
+Forewarned is fore-armed. A successful Lore (Monsters) check might explain why certain types of attacks aren't as effective as one might think, what a certain monster eats, or why they are in a certain place. Alternately, at the GM's discretion a PC may attempt a Lore (Monsters) check to claim a mechanical benefit if they have fought and defeated the same or similar type of monster in the past. The benefit might be a bonus to damage equal to the PC's proficiency bonus, or advantage on attacks or saves against the monster's special features at the GM's discretion. In any case, the player must ask the GM for the roll, describing how they recognize the monster and how their knowledge might help them better affect it.
 This lore might also be used to try to create a monstrosity just as the Atlanteans did.
