| Description |
Bugbears speak Goblin and Common. Combat Bugbears prefer to ambush opponents whenever possible. When hunting, they normally send scouts ahead of the main group who, if they spy prey, return to report and bring up reinforcements. Bugbear attacks are coordinated, and their tactics are sound if not brilliant. Skills: Bugbears receive a +4 racial bonus to Move Silently checks. Bugbear Characters A bugbear's favored class is rogue. Most bugbear leaders are fighters or fighter/rogues. Bugbear clerics (favored weapon: morningstar) can choose any two of the following domains: Chaos, Evil, Trickery, and War. |
