Bandit Captain

Bandit Captain is a medium humanoid (Challenge Rating 2).

**AC:** 15 **HP:** 65 **Speed:** [object Object] **STR:** 15 **DEX:** 16 **CON:** 14 **INT:** 14 **WIS:** 11 **CHA:** 14 It takes a strong personality, ruthless cunning, and a silver tongue to keep a gang of bandits in line. The **bandit captain** has these qualities in spades. In addition to managing a crew of selfish malcontents, the **pirate captain** is a variation of the bandit captain, with a ship to protect and command. To keep the crew in line, the captain must mete out rewards and punishment on a regular basis. More than treasure, a bandit captain or pirate captain craves infamy. A prisoner who appeals to the captain's vanity or ego is more likely to be treated fairly than a prisoner who does not or claims not to know anything of the captain's colorful reputation.
