Martial Advantage. Once per turn, the hobgoblin can deal an extra 7 (2d6) damage to a creature it hits with a weapon attack if that creature is within 5 feet of an ally of the hobgoblin that isn’t incapacitated.
Longsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d8+1) slashing damage.
Longbow. Ranged Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, range 150/600 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d8+1) piercing damage.
How hard a fight? Against a party of four, a single hobgoblin is easy at level 1, and barely a challenge from level 2. Add allies or more foes in the encounter generator.
Where you'll find it: grasslands, hills, forests and the Underdark.
