Cannon Fodder

Lord Zardoz

I just finished up a few statblocks for my own use. Having nothing better to do right now, I will post them here. Basically, they are cannon fodder types for those unlikley to use Orcs, Ogres, Goblins, or whatever else passes for cannon fodder.

As a side note, a 'Red Cloak' is my version of the 'Red Shirt Ensign'. In my campaign world, they are a mercenary group that hires out to anyone. What they lack in skill, they make up for in replacability.
