**Hobgoblin Warrior** **Rank:** Dangerous (2 progress per harm; inflicts 2 harm) **Features:** - Cunning, gimlet eyes - Pointier ears than baser hobgoblins - Well-honed weapons **Drives:** - Protect the warband - Take from others where and when they can - Pain is a higher calling **Tactics:** - Predate on the weakest - Slip in under your guard - Lunge edge-first The Hobgoblin warrior is a literal cut above. Stronger, straighter, and more deadly than those who find themselves to be mere guards. The warrior is what a guard aspires to become. They've taken fine weapons from those weaker than themselves and display them openly as a sign of their position and strength. A Hobgoblin warrior who appears physically frail or weak, yet displays his weapons openly, is a greater threat than the rest. The warriors often act as the heavy muscle for the warband, directing the guards and ignoring the scuts. When shenanigans need doing out in the world, there's usually a warrior behind it.
