Kobold Sapper

Savage little reptilian creatures from primitive areas brought into the Movement by coercion or bribery (food).  Kobolds are usually brought in by the tribe.  They’re just intelligent enough to follow simple orders.  They’re quite useful for infiltration through small places.

Melee: Dagger +1 to hit, 1d4

Gnoll Warrior

Cadres of tightly knit Gnolls have joined the Movement.  They tend to be badly educated, even for Humanoids, but are often tactically smarter than their Orc leaders.  Think of them as perhaps “Noble Savages,” except they have a habit eating killed Humans and Elves, raw.  Gnoll squads are usually somewhat autonomous in combat operations.  They are well disciplined and highly effective.  They know where and when to attack and, unlike Orcs, they know when to retreat.  Only their relatively small population numbers and their general disdain for Orc leadership keeps them from taking over the Movement.  (Orc leaders have been known to find ways of killing off Gnoll units who have flouted their authority too often.)

Fort Sv +5, Ref Sv +2, Will +1

Melee: Short Sword +6 to hit, 1d6+3

Troll Champion

Throwbacks to far earlier time, Trolls are a created race and nearly immortal with their regenerative abilities.  Hibernating Trolls have been found in underground caches around the world.  The Humanoids have actively searched for them.  Very simple-minded, they can be trained in minor tasks by whoever feeds them.  Being valuable assets, they are only risked in major Ops, or to rescue incarcerated Movement leaders.

HD 6 (d8), Hp 63, AC 14 (Natural)

Fort Sv +11, Ref Sv +4, Will +3

Melee: 3 att/rd, 2 Claws +9 to hit, 1d6+6 and Bite +4 to hit 1d6+3

Ranged: None, not smart enough

Regeneration: 3 hp/rd from up to –10 hp, only fire (which they will run from), energy (lasers, plasma), acid, and magic damage is permanent (does not regenerate or heal).

Die Hard: May act normally up to –10 hp, however Trolls will not regenerate at 0 or less hp unless they rest for 1 turn.  (So they may be playing dead at 0 hp.)
