Still, there’s some beauty to a story where the villains are just people, isn’t there?
Which are the best ones, though?
Even a level one barbarian can kill them, depending on the roll.
Stupid henchman who have no idea what they’re doing is a funny trope, after all.
Here is every martial melee weapon in Dungeons & Dragons, ranked!
That said, they both hit harder due to having poison in them.
This means that both attacks have their regular damage and secondary damage of the poison punch in.
Their scimitar also rolls an extra die per hit, which is a nice way to keep them deadly.
For a mere mortal in a fantastical world, they’re quite terrifying.
Thus, we have the Bandit Deceiver, and the standout here is their spellcasting.
They can also cast Mage Armor, Major Image, and Hold Person at the fourth level.
However, some of these are more fitting for gangs than others.
