Human Goon (CR 1)

Human Goon
True Chaotic - Medium - Humanoid
Human goons are schoolyard bullies all grown up. They are predatory opportunists, who dwell within the shadier parts of towns or other densely-populated areas to ambush the unsuspecting. When confronted with overwhelming force, they will run, often abandoning their comrades in the process. They will frequently organize into loosely knit gangs to attack their prey in numbers. They use ambushes, diversions and hit-and-run tactics to deprive their targets of their wealth.

Human goons aren't usually out to murder their victims, just rob them. They can be negotiated with, but need to feel like they've gotten something out of any bargain that has been made. That may indicate that Goons have some modicum of the Spark which they were born with...or it may not. Even so, they rarely back down from victims who try to intimidate them, feeling like such a show of cowardice in the eyes of their allies would cause them trouble later.

Other than toughness, cleverness and a willingness to use whatever weapon is at hand, human goons rarely have any special abilities.
