Bandit Stat Blocks

Bandits are one of the most common types of enemies, or allies, an adventuring party might encounter. They can come in a huge variety, but writing entirely new stat blocks can be exhausting and impractical at times.

These stat blocks provide the basic archetypes for a number of roles that might fall under a bandit faction, or similar enemies.

Along with a revision of the most basic bandit minion stat block, this document also includes: 1 extra minion, 6 basic grunts, 4 advanced grunts, 2 elites, and 1 paragon.

Templates

These stat blocks can be supplemented by templates which enhance or modify the base stat block in a few ways to make them unique and especially flavorful for a specific type of enemy and/or faction.

Included at the end of this document is an example bandit faction with a handful of templates included. Patrons have access to an exclusive PDF with more factions ready to go and continually added in the future. I will also be releasing projects covering other types of enemies, such as cults, goblinoids, and more!

Reskinning

You don't necessarily need to use templates to reskin these stat blocks! Get creative and assign stat blocks to NPCs and enemies that may not fit the exact thematic notes as written, but fit the mechanical themes nonetheless.

For example, got a bulky chef bandit? Use the Bandit Enforcer or Bandit Strongarm, and flavor the weapons as pots, pans, or knives. Reskin a Bandit Fence as a Quartermaster or Spy, reskin a Bandit Houndmaster as a Lion Tamer or Hawk Handler, and so on.

Encounter Levels

Since bandits are more often a threat during the first tier or two of play (levels 1-10), most of the stat blocks here are scaled for an encounter against lower level players.

A GM can easily scale these stat blocks to better fit the challenge their party needs using Giffyglyph's Monster Maker web app. The JSON files for these stat blocks are available to patrons of all tiers.

Special Thanks

A huge thank you to my wonderful patrons for all their support, and to everyone who supports this work through discord, instagram, reddit, and beyond. You all mean the world to me <3

A special shoutout to my high tier patrons, Luna Bell, Mechanaught, Candles, Soshiro, and Sirious Black. You are awesome!
