Bugbear Captain

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

Leadership. The Bugbear Captain has special actions it may take to influence the course of the battle.

Morningstar. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d8 + 2) piercing damage.

Javelin. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 30/120 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (2d6 + 2) piercing damage in melee or 5 (1d6 + 2) piercing damage at range.

"You die when I say so!" When a goblinoid ally reaches 0 hit points, the bugbear captain can galvanize it to resist death, leaving the ally at 1 hit point instead. This reaction is ineffective against critical hits. Once an ally has resisted death once, it cannot do so again until the next dawn.

The bugbear captain can take 1 captain action per turn, choosing from the options below. Each captain action option can be used only at the end of another creature's turn. The bugbear captain does not regain spent captain actions until it has had a short rest (Once the bugbear captain uses one of these actions, that action cannot be used again, but another one can).

"What are you waiting for!?" (Costs 1 Action). Each goblinoid ally within 30 feet of the bugbear captain may move up to their speed or make a melee attack. Movement from this action does not provoke an attack of opportunity.

"Hold the line!" (Costs 1 Action). All attacks made against goblinoid allies within 30 feet of the bugbear captain are made at disadvantage until the beginning of the bugbear captain's next turn.
