Traits

Nimble Escape. The goblin can take the Disengage or Hide action as a bonus action on each of its turns.

Great Weapon Fighting. When the tasloi rolls a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll. The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.

Aura of Protection. Whenever the tasloi or a friendly creature within 10 feet of it must make a saving throw, the creature gains a +2 to the saving throw.

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

1st level (4 slots): Divine Favor, HeroismShield of Faith

2nd level (2 slots): Magic Weapon

Divine Smite. When the tasloi hits a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can expend one spell slot to deal radiant damage to the target, in addition to the weapon’s damage. The extra damage is 2d8 for a 1st-level spell slot, or 3d8 for a 2nd-level spell slot.

Actions

Multiattack. The tasloi makes two attacks with its greataxe.

Greataxe. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (1d12 + 3) slashing damage.

Javelin. Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, range 30/120 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) piercing damage.

Guided Strike (Recharge 4-6). Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (1d12+3) slashing damage.

Reactions

Redirect Attack. When a creature the tasloi can see targets it with an attack, the tasloi chooses another tasloi within 5 feet of it. The two tasloi swap places, and the chosen tasloi becomes the target instead.

Description

Tasloi are long-legged, flat-headed humanoids. They walk in a crouching posture, touching their knuckles to the ground from time to time. Their skins are a lustrous green and are thinly covered with coarse black hair. Their eyes are similar to a cat's and are gold in color.
Often they can be heard at night, speaking in their high, whispery voices. Tasloi speak their own tongue and can also speak the languages of monkeys and apes. About 5% of their kind have learned a pidgin common that they use when trading.
