In the alternate goblinoid culture modeled after fuedal Japan, if the hobgoblins are samurai then the bugbears are the ninja. Slippery, quiet, and deadly, the bugbears have no qualms about acting in a manner that their hobgoblin comrades would consider dishonorable.
===Racial Traits===
<span style="display:none">[[Racial Ability Adjustments::None]]</span>
* {{Property Link|Type|SRD:Humanoid Type|Humanoid}} ([[SRD:Goblinoid Subtype|Goblinoid]])
* {{Property Link|Size|SRD:Medium|Medium}}: As Medium creatures, bugbears gain no bonuses or penalties based on size.
* Bugbear[[SRD:Base Land Speed|base land speed]] is 30 feet.
* '''Darkvision ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' Bugbears have darkvision out to 120 feet.
* '''Shadow Hand Initiate:''' A hobgoblin that takes the Martial Study or Martial Stance feat has an effective initiator level equal to their character level (instead of the normal ½ character level for non-adept classes) if the maneuver learned is from the Shadow Blade martial discipline. The bugbear's maneuver-like abilities also count as maneuvers known for the purposes of selecting additional maneuvers from these feats.
* [[Maneuver-Like Abilities (3.5e Creature Ability)|Maneuver-Like Abilities]]: A bugbear may use the Island of Blades stance (from the Shadow Hand discipline) as a maneuver-like ability, which it may use at will provided it takes a full-round action to refresh after each use (leaving the stance is counted as a "use" in this case). At CR 3, it also may use the Cloak of Deception boost.
* +2 racial bonus to [[SRD: Hide|Hide]] and [[SRD: Move Silently|Move Silently]] checks.
* [[SRD:Automatic Languages|Automatic Languages]]: Common, Goblin.
* [[SRD:Bonus Languages|Bonus Languages]]: Draconic, Dwarven, Infernal, Giant, Orc.
