Bugbear Murderer

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

Surprise Attack. If the bugbear surprises a creature and hits it with an attack during the first round of combat, the target takes an extra 7 (2d6) damage from the attack.

Multiattack. The murderer can make two javelin attacks or one garrote attack on its turn.

Javelin. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 30/120 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) piercing damage in melee or 6 (1d6 + 3) piercing damage at range.

Garrote. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target of the murderer’s size or smaller. Hit: 12 (2d8 + 3) bludgeoning damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 13 with disadvantage). Until the grapple ends, the target takes 17 (3d8 + 3) bludgeoning damage at the start of each of the murderer’s turns.

The murderer can’t make weapon attacks while grappling a creature in this way.
