Hobgoblin Bandit

The hobgoblin is a strange creature. On one hand, there is a clear cunning mind behind the yellow eyes and sharp teeth, with the primness of polite society reflected in their neatly maintained hair and clothing. On the other hand, from view of the ground and surrounded by multitudes of enemies while the Hobgoblin picks through your things, you can't think of a more cruel foe.

Imagine that one dude from Midsummer Night's Dream, but he's here to take your money.

Actions

Attacks | ◈ per, up to 2 a turn

The Hobgoblin bandit fights intelligently, standing behind and command allies while supplementing their damage with their own. They will often target enemies who have already been attacked, or try to discern who has the weakest/lowest hit points with an Insight check.

Longsword | ◈ | Melee Weapon Attack | +5 to hit | Hit: 9 ( 1d8+4 ) Slashing damage
Shortbow | ◈ | Ranged Weapon Attack (80/320 ft) | +5 to hit / Hit: 8 ( 1d6+4 ) Piercing damage.

-Tactics-

Hobgoblins are the trickiest of Trick-kin, often making up battlemasters and strategists among Trick-kin warbands and bandit groups. Their fey ancestry takes a backseat to their strategies and their ability to aid others. They play to win, and will fight to the death if they cannot escape or out think their enemies.
