Traits
None: What? Not everyone’s special.
Actions
Claw: Major action - Melee weapon attack, 5 ft. range, single-target, 1 damage.
Tactics
By themselves, they’re not very impressive. They’re just imps, after all, they’re basically a tutorial enemy. That said, throwing a few Imps in to Grapple, Help, or otherwise impede the player or aid their beefier allies can make them vital to making a player’s day hell.
Drops
5 EXP, 5 BG
Description
Imps are small, troublesome creatures. They aren’t overtly hostile like other underlings, they’re more like psychotic children than anything. It is very rare that they will attack a player solo, although it is known to happen, especially since this stat block exists for a singular imp.
That said, Imps are fairly cowardly most of the time, and usually if you’re significantly stronger than them, they can be intimidated to leave you alone.
