Traits

Brave. The bariaur has advantage on saving throws against being frightened.
Brute. A melee weapon deals one extra die of its damage when the bariaur hits with it (included in the attack).
Charge. If the bariaur moves at least 30 feet straight toward a target and then hits it with a ram attack on the same turn, the target takes an extra 7 (2d6) bludgeoning damage.

Actions

Multiattack. The bariaur makes three melee attacks or two ranged attacks.
Ram. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (3d4 + 2) bludgeoning damage.
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.
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.
