Traits
Night Sight: Treat partial darkness as illuminated and full darkness as partial darkness.
Combat
A large, surly and spectacularly unruly race of goblinoids, an average bugbear is about the size in terms of weight and reach as brown bear. Despite this, they have a cultural propensity to attacks from ambush so tend to be stealthier than might be expected. Although they have claws, they are not large or hard enough to count as formidable natural weapons but do give them an unarmed combat damage of 1D6. Bugbears prefer simple two-handed weapons though some use large one-handed weapons alongside shields. Morningstars, Ball & Chains and Maces are favoured close combat weapons with stun location, bash and bypass parry being the most common Combat Manoeuvres chosen. Javelins are favoured as missile weapons.
Natural Weapons
Claws S/T 1D6 Grip
Armour
Thick hide: 2APs, no Armour Penalty. Bugbears except for their fearsome champions and chieftains rarely wear any armour beyond thick furs on the torso. (1AP, Armour Penalty -1)
Skills
Despite their size, bugbears are proficient at ambushing and stealth. Their claws, however, make fine manipulation and many arts and crafts difficult.
Magic
Most bugbears have just 1-3 points of Common Magic. Bandit's Cloak, bludgeon, protection, speedart, multimissile and befuddle are popular spells. Higher Magic is restricted to specialists who zealously guard their secrets and the status it gives them.
Character Generation
Cultural Background
Primitive, Nomadic or Barbarian.
Professions
Champion, Hunter, Mercenary, Priest, Shaman, Warrior, Tracker, Witch.
Magic
Common Magic Spells from the appropriate cultural background.
Cults
Primitive Bugbears are spirit magic users. Nomadic and Barbarian Bugbears vary between ancestor worship (spirit magic) or worship of a pantheon of gods.
Spirit magic users specialise in spirits to aid in hunting and ambush as well as having access to a wide variety of curse spirits. Ancestor spirits are occasionally summoned but often demand exorbitant recompense and may often refuse to leave the body.
Divine Magic users likewise. For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hruggek#Bugbear_deities
Starting money & equipment
As per cultural background but metal armour is rarely seen.

Notes
The Champion lives for no-holds-barred melee combat. Given a chance he will cast all of his common magic first. Coordination will increase his DEX by 4, giving him an extra Combat Action and adding +4% to his close combat and +8% to his ranged combat skills. His favoured weapon combination is mace and shield. Against well-defended opponents he'll choose Bash to try and knock an opponent to the ground in order to take advantage of his huge damage modifier.

Magic
Common Magic 46%: Bandit's Cloak 2, Coordination 2, Multimissile 2.
Notes
The seasoned hunter is a fearsome ambush predator. With Bandit's cloak pre-cast it is a potential 93% in Stealth. Favourite tactics are to Cast multimissile on two javelins and Coordination 2 on itself (which will add +8% to its Javelin skill and +4% to any stealth tests). With one javelin held in its left hand it can easily throw both in a single combat round. Providing it has surprise it'll choose impale for its real javelins and bash for its multimissiles hoping to knock down or seriously wound the opponent enough that it can also throw its second javelin against a target who is incapable of evading.
Equipment
Armour / clothing: just enough to cover his modesty.
Equipment: hunting and camping gear.
Weapons: 3 Javelins, Longspear.

- Strangler. Obscure forest spirit. Intensity 3. Combat Manoeuvre (always choose head). INT 2 POW 20 CHA 2. Spectral Strangling 100% 1D10. Persistence 80%.
Notes
This spirit walker is starting down the Strangler's path. It can provide strong magical support from the shadows with Second Sight and Countermagic. The Curse Spirit can quickly incapacitate anyone without magical defences. If it can pick out a weaker foe it will manifest both the Moth and the Strangler, enhance its claws and then strike from surprise in an attempt to grip and strangle an opponent.

Notes
The Champion lives for no-holds-barred melee combat. Given a chance he will cast all of his common magic first. Coordination will increase his DEX by 4, giving him an extra Combat Action, adding +4% to his close combat and +8% to his ranged combat & Evade skills. His favoured weapon combination is mace and shield. Against well-defended opponents he'll choose Bash to try and knock an opponent to the ground or bypass parry to overwhelm their defences. Unlike less skilled bugbears, the veteran prefers to rely on his armour and is happy to strike second. With Bludgeon 3 and Coordination 2 in effect he is attacking at 118% with a Mace and doing 1d8+4+1d10 damage. There are few opponents that can withstand such an attack.

Notes
A Bugbear acolyte is never seen alone, always travelling with a retinue of warriors or a champion sworn to defend it to the death. This is generally due to the fact that family members are often held hostage. Although not particularly dangerous in melee combat by bugbear standards, an acolyte relies on enhancing its retinue. Blessing can add 35% to a cult skill, while a Berserk bugbear is a terrifying prospect. Befuddle or Demoralise can play havoc with defences while strong defensive magic can keep its retinue safe from most magical threats.

Notes
A bugbear shaman is an army in its own right. Should it be caught in a fight to the death it will use its spirits unsparingly. The curse spirits can quickly and horribly incapacitate its enemies. Its fetch will cast common magic to befuddle major threats while being ready with countermagic. The shaman himself in extremis will manifest the strangler and its bear claws to attack and throttle an enemy. Its biggest weakness is a lack of protection against missile attacks so it will spend its time in the shadows, sending its spirits to harass enemy archers.
