Bugbear Psi Commander

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

Heart of Hruggek. The bugbear has advantage on saving throws against effects that would make it have the charmed, frightened, paralyzed, poisoned, stunned conditions, or put to sleep.

Psi Enhanced Weapon Strikes. A weapon attack deals one extra d8 of psychic 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.

Mental Burst. When the bugbear dies, its pent-up mental energy explodes in a psychic blast. Each creature within 5 feet of it must succeed on a DC 14 Intelligence saving throw or take 10 (4d4) psychic damage.

Multiattack. The bugbear makes three melee attacks.

Morningstar. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 19 (2d10 + 4) bludgeoning damage plus 4 (1d8) psychic damage.

Javelin Melee. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (2d8 + 4) piercing damage (1d8) psychic damage in melee

Javelin Ranged. Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, range 30/120 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (1d8 + 4) piercing damage (1d8) psychic damage at range.

Spellcasting (Psionics). The bugbear casts one of the following spells, requiring no spell components and using Intelligence as the spellcasting ability (spell save DC 14):

At will: mage hand (the hand is invisible), minor illusion

1/day each: charm person, dissonant whispers, telekinesis

Synaptic Rend (Recharge 5–6). The bugbear unleashes a 30-foot-radius sphere of psychic energy, centered on a point the goblin can see within 60 feet of itself. Each creature in that area must make a DC 14 Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 14 (4d6) psychic damage and has the incapacitated condition until the end of the bugbear’s next turn. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage only.

Psionic Shield. When the goblin or one of its allies within 15 feet of it is hit by an attack roll, the goblin conjures a shield of force. The target of the attack gains a +3 bonus to its AC against the triggering attack roll, potentially causing it to miss.
