Description
Bandits of all kinds tend to rove in gangs, and Thugs are the type to whack a target first, make off with their gold, and only ever ask two questions: "How should we split the cash," and "Who's our next target". Often hired as intimidation, spare hands, or cannon fodder by more strategically-minded leaders, most of a Thug's threat comes from the fact that they've almost always got at least two buddies watching their back, if not more. Split them up, stay on your feet, and show no fear, and you'll have these simple opponents running for the hills in no time.
