Monster Manifest - Bandits
-
Hey today we bring you the first monster from our series D&D Monster Manifest, the [Bandits](https://www.patreon.com/posts/137153921). The small zine includes 10 bandit stat blocks you can use in your game. All Monster are compatible with the D&D 2014 rule set and can just be put into your game. We are working on more monsters, if you want to keep up follow us on [patreon](https://www.patreon.com/c/InternalRockStudio)! On the free [patreon ](https://www.patreon.com/posts/137153921)post you will also find a higher version of all the bandits present in the post. Additionally tokens and a json file including all their stats. If you don’t know the **Monster Manifest** you will probably a bit confused but that is quickly resolved. You can either read the [original post](https://www.patreon.com/posts/d-d-monster-129012019) (which is quite long and goes very in depth) or check this quick explanation out. In short we divide all D&D stat blocks into three categories, representing one type of fight you can run at your table: Action Stat Blocks, Tactical Stat Blocks, and Hybrid Stat Blocks. * **Tactical Stat Blocks** are perfect if you’re running a fight on a grid with miniatures. Monsters have distinct roles, multiple abilities, and varied actions, giving players and DMs plenty of tactical decisions to make each round. * **Hybrid Stat Blocks** work best when you want cinematic encounters with or without a grid, such as a spellcasting boss with minions or a battle that blends combat with diplomacy. They’re versatile, closer to the official style of stat blocks (natural stat blocks), and flexible enough for mixed encounter types. * **Action Stat Blocks** are designed for fast-paced, theater-of-the-mind play. Ideal for hyper-escalating showdowns (like a lone bandit boss against a party of four), their numbered actions make them easy to run while keeping the focus on dynamic, cinematic action. If you have any questions go to [r/DnDMonsterManifest](https://www.reddit.com/r/DnDMonsterManifest/) and make a post there. You can also join our [discord](https://discord.gg/eJBwe75jCr) server to pitch us ideas or just talk with us. Thats that, go to the [original post](https://www.patreon.com/posts/137153921) if you are interested in a pdf, some tokens or a 5etools compatible json that includes all of the above. \*Internal Rock studio boulders away\*
