It’s no secret that I think Kobolds are great. The undead are a veritable skittles grab bag of monsters you’ll be able to fight, any time, any where, any place.
So we can also cram in ghosts, specters, shadows, and wraiths. And while that might seem like it’s a little full, there’s always room for the incorporeal undead because they don’t take up any (physical) space. This entry encapsulates your skeletons, zombies, ghouls, ghasts, and wights. Low level adventurers who just stumbled into a room full of “long-dead bodies scattered around the floor” know they’re about to fight them. They are also the most fearsome of these monsters. Towns fight off goblin attacks–they become the aftermath of gnoll rampages. Gnolls are a great villain because they’re evil through and through. Gnolls are voracious hyenamen who revere Yeenoghu, a voracious demon prince that wields a giant three-headed flail and commands that his servants consume the world. The all-devouring all-dancing horde of the (campaign) world. And probably shank you in the ankles just a little bit.Ĭontinuing on the marauding horde theme, we come to gnolls. What about warlords that can serve as a boss to cap off the low-level arc of the campaign you’ve just started? Hobgoblins have got you covered.Īnd they’ll command an army of goblins along the way, with no shortage of goblins filling in roles as cannon fodder, bodyguards, and shamans along the way. But whatever you might have planned, it’s almost always a safe bet that goblins will turn up underfoot, somehow. You’ll likely keep running into them in some form or another well into 5th level. What makes them stand out as great low level monsters to me, is that they’ve got everything you need.
And much like D&D and Pathfinder, I’m including the other goblinoids–Bugbears and Hobgoblins–in this entry, because goblins are the gift that keeps on giving. So this week, we’re taking a look at the best of the best of low-level monsters.įirst on our list are everyone’s favorite all-encompassing-horde-that-is-really-three-monsters, Goblins. Whether it’s killing rats in the sewers, or trying to fetch back a tome that has disappeared from the local wizard’s tower, there’s one thing that’s certain, you’re gonna have to kill a lot of 1/4 hit dice monsters if you’re gonna get anywhere in life.
We’re about to earn 500gp for the entire party this week, by taking a look at (and killing) the 5 best low level monsters in D&D.Įvery adventurer starts somewhere.
