Special Abilities

Bullyboy (Ex)

Once per round, if the Human Goon has taken damage this encounter, he may use Bullyboy to add 1d4 to one of his successful melee weapon attacks (as more slashing (physical, common) damage). This is considered precision damage and is not multiplied on a critical hit.

Mugger (Ex)

Once per round, a Human Goon may choose to inflict the Secured condition on a single foe he has damaged this round. This condition lasts until the start of the Goon's next turn. This allows the goon to attack foes without risk of killing them. Assuming that's something they actually want to do.

Human Goon

Human goons are schoolyard bullies all grown up. They are predatory opportunists, who dwell within the shadier parts of towns or other densely-populated areas to ambush the unsuspecting. When confronted with overwhelming force, they will run, often abandoning their comrades in the process. They will frequently organize into loosely knit gangs to attack their prey in numbers. They use ambushes, diversions and hit-and-run tactics to deprive their targets of their wealth.

Human goons aren't usually out to murder their victims, just rob them. They can be negotiated with, but need to feel like they've gotten something out of any bargain that has been made. They rarely back down from victims who try to intimidate them, feeling like such a show of cowardice in the eyes of their allies would cause them trouble later.

Other than toughness, cleverness and a willingness to use whatever weapon is at hand, human goons rarely have any special abilities.

Combat Tactics

Human goons prefer to ambush their prey. They will also stage diversions to distract any nearby town watch or other constabulary. They prefer hit-and-run tactics over outright murder, and will sometimes even use less lethal tactics instead of aiming to kill their victims (though many goons don't really care either way). They are seeking treasure above all else, and will abandon a fight as soon as they are satisfied with whatever loot they can acquire. They will also run if it becomes apparent that their victims are too powerful for them to take down.

Out of Combat

Most Human Goons are a lazy sort, who prefer a life of drinking and slacking off to actual labor. They will eagerly do nothing all day as long as there are a few coins in their pockets. However, once the drinks run dry, they'll go out seeking easy prey to refill their coffers for another few days of debauchery.
