Traits

Brave. The gladiator has advantage on saving throws against being frightened.

Brute. A melee weapon deals one extra die of its damage when the gladiator hits with it (included in the attack).

Acklay Call As a bonus action, the Acklay Gladiator can call its Acklay mount, and then starts to ride it. All weapon attacks gain +5 reach while mounted.

Trained to the saddle. The gladiator can mount any creature and has a high chance of taming it to the gladiator's will. A successful mount can be done with a DC 20 Animal Handling check, as well as a DC 15 Athletics check to mount the creature.

Actions

Multiattack. The gladiator makes three melee attacks or two ranged attacks.

Spear. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft. and range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) piercing damage, or 13 (2d8 + 4) piercing damage if used with two hands to make a melee attack.

TridentMelee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft. and range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2D6 +4) piercing damage, or 15 (2D8 + 6) piercing damage if used with two hands to make a melee attack

Shield Bash. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 9 (2d4 + 4) bludgeoning damage. If the target is a Medium or smaller creature, it must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Reactions

Parry. The gladiator adds 3 to its AC against one melee attack that would hit it. To do so, the gladiator must see the attacker and be wielding a melee weapon.

Description

Gladiators battle for the entertainment of raucous crowds. Some gladiators are brutal pit fighters who treat each match as a life-or-death struggle, while others are professional duelists who command huge fees but rarely fight to the death. Some ride Acklays or other animals into combat. Some retired gladiators will loan their expertise to anyone who can pay their price. In order to ride an Acklay, a gladiator has to severely punish it, otherwise, it will think that disobeying orders is fine, and will continue to do so.
