Traits

Spellcasting. The bugbear is a 7th-level spellcaster. Its spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 13, +5 to hit with spell attacks). The bugbear has the following paladin spells prepared:

1st level (4 slots): hellish rebuke, inflict wounds, wrathful smite
2nd level (2 slots): crown of madness, darkness

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.

Aura of Hate. The bugbear, and any fiends and undead within 10 feet of it, gain a bonus to melee weapon damage rolls equal to to the bugbear’s Charisma modifier (included in the attack). A creature can only benefit from one Aura of Hate at a time.

Divine Smite (1/day). The bugbear channels divine energy through its weapon. When the bugbear hits a creature with a melee weapon attack, it can add 13 (3d8) radiant damage to the attack. The damage increases by 1d8 if the target is a fiend or undead.

 

Actions

Greatsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d8 + 5) slashing damage.

Multiattack. The bugbear makes three melee attacks.

Frightful Presence. Each creature of the bugbear’s choice within 30 feet of it must make a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw if it can see the bugbear. On a failed save, the target is frightened of the bugbear for 1 minute. If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the bugbear’s Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.

 

Description

Bugbears are hairy goblinoids born for battle and mayhem. They survive by raiding and hunting, but are fond of setting ambushes and fleeing when outmatched. The most tyrannical of all the bugbears are those that see themselves at the top of the pile. They look beyond the brothers past Maglibuyet and into the black hand of the God of Darkness himself, Bane. And even then, they aspire to take Bane’s own place. Thankfully, these bugbear tyrants are rare.
