Early on, however, he was discovered early on to possess a keener intellect and an almost preternatural understanding of the world. His tongue\u00a0was also sharper and more eloquent than any other bugbear.\u00a0His clan leader recognized the\u00a0boy&#8217;s potential as having been touched by Hrubbek.\u00a0When this was discovered, he was\u00a0led to a small cabal of similar\u00a0bugbears for additional testing. And when he passed their tests satisfactorily, he was given leave to study with them. It was a long, arduous and grueling process, but when he emerged years later,\u00a0Graalbeck was ready to lead his people. He\u00a0possessed powerful magic gifted to him by the bugbear deity, a body trained for war, and a mind ready to conduct and lead his people in that endeavor. He took over the leadership of his birth clan and began to put his plans into motion. Over the years he has amassed quite a following, absorbing several smaller war tribes under his banner. While he has made no overtures or threats towards the various cities on the borderlands, the local nobles aren&#8217;t going to be able to ignore him for long. And no one knows just what his ultimate goal might be.<\/p>\n<p>Graalbeck works great as the enemy of the first act of a larger campaign against goblinoids and other monstrous humanoids. The force that he has amassed is terrifying to behold, and it doesn&#8217;t have to be his kind. He could have orcs and goblins sworn to his service along with mercenaries or forces from any other number of monster species. Graalbeck is duplicitous in all of his endeavors, and there is no telling what he may have promised these people for serving in his armies. Whether or not he can make good on those promises is another matter entirely. And\u00a0when the PCs finally vanquish the bugbear warlord, what of the\u00a0beings who trained him? What secrets do they possess?\u00a0And what danger could they still possess? Was Graalbeck simply a puppet of some higher power?<\/p>\n<p>If you wish to turn Graalbeck into an even more formidable opponent, granting him additional magical items that he has come into possession of seems to be the easiest way. He isn&#8217;t much of aN outright damage dealer, and his spell selection veers more towards utility and making his already sneaky troops even better. But magical items that grant him a\u00a0better armor class and saving throws can help make him harder to hit and help him to stay in the fight longer. Potions or a staff of healing are worthy contenders as well, helping him to stay up and keep his own minions in the fight.\u00a0At most Graalbeck will probably top out\u00a0at a CR\u00a05 without\u00a0piling on more cleric levels, although that\u00a0certainly is a viable strategy if you so choose &#8211; his stats present him as a 6th level cleric.\u00a0Speaking of which, click on through to the game stats and let me know what you think below!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Graalbeck.pdf\">Graalbeck<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>There are anomalies and special creatures born of every race and species.
