Giant Goombas tend to forego strategy for brute force. Goombas are ruthless fighters in melee, and fight without care for wounds or pain. Combat with giant goombas always starts with a charge against the nearest character, and quickly progresses to a flank to cut off retreat, with the giant goombas leading the charge, making the smaller ones cut off escape routes and flank their target.Giant GoombaLarge Humanoid (Fungus, plant)Hit Dice: 6d8+24 (52 hp)Initiative: -1Speed: 20 ftDefense: 10 , touch 10, flatfooted 10, (-1 size, -1 Dex)Base Attack/Grapple: +1/+9Attack: bite +4 melee (2d6+4 bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing)Full Attack: bite +4 melee (2d6+4 bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing)Space/Reach: 5 ft/5 ftSpecial Attacks: Jump AttackSpecial Qualities: darkvision 60 ft, goomba racial traitsSaves: Fort +4, Ref -1, Will +0Abilities: Str 18 Dex 8 Con 18 Int 10 Wis 11 Cha 10Skills: Jump +9, Survival +4Feats: Jump AttackEnvironment: any underground or any temperateOrganization: individual, squad (1 plus 1d6+1 goombas), or troop (1-2 plus 3d6 goombas)Challenge Rating: 4Advancement: By classLevel Adjustment: +0Goomba Racial Traits (Ex): Goombas have a +4 racial bonus to saves to resist poison and a +2 racial bonus to Survival or Knowledge (Nature) checks made to identify mushrooms.Jump AttackWhen jumping as part of a charge, deals 3d6 + 4 Str modifier bludgeoning damage on a successful hit.

Their skin doesn't reflect light very well, so while in shadows and darkness, even if a light is shined on them, they do not appear clearly, slightly blurred. This doesn't happen when standing fully in a large light source.Dark Goombas are ambush attackers, they prefer to hide and strike with the element of surprise, and attacking at night. If they can't use stealth, then they fight like normal goombas, move straight to a target and attack until it or them are defeated.Dark GoombaSmall Humanoid (Fungus, plant)Hit Dice: 1d8+1 (4 hp)Initiative: +1Speed: 20 ftDefence: 12 , touch 11, flatfooted 10, (+1 size, +1 Dex)Base Attack/Grapple: +1/-3Attack: bite +3 melee (1d4+1 bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing)Full Attack: bite +3 melee (1d4+1 bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing)Space/Reach: 5 ft/5 ftSpecial Attacks: Jump AttackSpecial Qualities: darkvision 90 ft, goomba racial traits (see Races chapter), One With Shadows, Strike From Shadows, Silent MovementSaves: Fort +2, Ref +1, Will +0Abilities: Str 13 Dex 12 Con 11 Int 10 Wis 11 Cha 10Skills: Jump +5, Hide +6*, Move Silently +6*, Survival +4Feats: Jump AttackEnvironment: any underground or any temperateOrganization: pair, squad (1d6+1), or troop (3d6)Challenge Rating: 1Advancement: By classLevel Adjustment: +0Goomba Racial Traits (Ex): Goombas have a +4 racial bonus to saves to resist poison and a +2 racial bonus to Survival or Knowledge (Nature) checks made to identify mushrooms.Jump AttackWhen jumping as part of a charge, deals 1d6 + Str modifier bludgeoning damage on a successful hit.

While in shadows and darkness, has concealment, with a 10% miss chance.Strike From ShadowsIf the Dark Goomba isn't detected by an enemy while in shadows or darkness, its first attack deals triple damage. Any attack while in shadows or darkness gain +2 to attack rolls and damage.Silent MovementWhile in darkness or shadows, a Dark Goomba can attempt to move silently at full normal speed without normal penalties for moving at normal speed while attempting to move silently.KoopaKoopas are a race of humanoid turtle-like creatures, typically with yellowish skin and green shells on their back, although some koopas come in different colours that fill specific roles. Koopas are typically found in the service of Bowser, their leader, however some are found outside of Bowser's kingdom. Typical koopas stand between 4 foot 8 inches and 5 foot 5 inches, although some breeds may be smaller or larger.KoopaMedium Humanoid (Reptilian)Hit Dice: 1d10 (9 hp)Initiative: -1Speed: 20 ftDefense: 10, touch 9, flat-footed 11 (-1 Dex +1 natural)Base Attack/Grapple: +0/+1Attack: slam +1 melee (1d4 bludgeoning)Full Attack: slam +1 melee (1d4 bludgeoning)Space/Reach: 5 ft /5 ftSpecial Attacks: -Special Qualities: tuck, koopa racial traits, acid resistance 5, light fortificationSaves: Fort +2, Ref -1, Will +0Abilities: Str 11 Dex 8 Con 13 Int 10 Wis 11 Cha 10Skills: Climb +6, Jump +6, Listen +4, Spot +4Feats: ToughnessEnvironment: any temperateOrganization: pair, squad (1d6+1), or troop (3d6)Challenge Rating: ½Advancement: By classLevel Adjustment: +0Koopa Racial Traits (Ex): Koopas do not suffer any reduction in speed for carrying a medium or heavy load. Koopas have a +2 racial bonus to Climb and Jump checks.Tuck (Ex): A Koopa may tuck his head, arms, and legs into his shell as a move action without provoking an attack of opportunity. However, this causes the Koopa to fall prone (unless he already was prone). This grants total concealment (50% miss chance) and cover (+4 cover bonus to Defense and Reflex saves). A Koopa can remain tucked indefinitely. While tucked, a Koopa can take no actions involving movement other than rising from prone. A Koopa retains his Tuck bonuses while standing up (specifically against attacks of opportunity incurred), but not after.Though the average Koopa mentality is to avoid fighting at all costs, Koopas who defend themselves trust their natural defenses. They prefer to fight defensively, and try to avoid blows and strike when their opponents are tired out.Light FortificationAny critical attack against a koopa has a 25% chance of dealing normal damage instead.Koopa TroopaKoopa Troopa are the basic soldiers or militia used by Koopas. They are slightly stronger and their shells are a little more resilient than basic koopas. Typically use their fists to slam enemies, although some might have spears.Koopa TroopaMedium Humanoid (Reptilian)Hit Dice: 2d10+3+3 (21 hp)Initiative: -1Speed: 20 ftDefense: 11, touch 9, flat-footed 12 (-1 Dex +2 natural)Base Attack/Grapple: +1/+3Attack: slam +3 melee (1d4+2 bludgeoning) optional spear +3 melee (1d8+2 piercing, thrown 30 ft)Full Attack: slam +3 melee (1d4+2 bludgeoning)Space/Reach: 5 ft /5 ftSpecial Attacks: -Special Qualities: tuck, koopa racial traits, acid resistance 5, light fortificationSaves: Fort +2, Ref -1, Will +0Abilities: Str 14 Dex 8 Con 17 Int 12 Wis 13 Cha 10Skills: Climb +6, Jump +6, Listen +4, Spot +4Feats: ToughnessEnvironment: any temperateOrganization: pair, squad (1d6+1), or troop (3d6), group (20+ 1d8)Challenge Rating: 1Koopa Racial Traits (Ex): Koopas do not suffer any reduction in speed for carrying a medium or heavy load.

Physically they are like other koopas, except with larger shells and they wear shell-like helmets. These usually found in service to Bowser or other military groups that hire them.Hammer BroMedium Humanoid (Reptilian)Hit Dice: 3d10+9+3 (29 hp)Initiative: -1Speed: 20 ftDefense: 13, touch 10, flat-footed 13 (+3 natural)Base Attack/Grapple: +2/+4Attack: slam +4 melee (1d4+2 bludgeoning) or +5 melee hammer (1d6+2 bludgeoning) or +3 ranged hammer (1d6 bludgeoning, 40 ft 5 increments)Full Attack: +5 melee hammer (1d6+2 bludgeoning), or +3 ranged (1d6 bludgeoning)Space/Reach: 5 ft /5 ftSpecial Attacks: -Special Qualities: tuck, koopa racial traits, acid resistance 5, light fortification, rapid pickupSaves: Fort +2, Ref -1, Will +0Abilities: Str 14 Dex 10 Con 17 Int 12 Wis 13 Cha 10Skills: Climb +6, Jump +7, Listen +4, Search +3, Spot +4Feats: Toughness, weapon focus (hammer), quick drawEnvironment: any temperateOrganization: pair, squad (1d6+1), or troop (3d6), group (20+ 1d8)Possessions: 20 hammersChallenge Rating: 2CombatIn combat, Hammer Bros will use their hammers to strike at foes as they close into melee. They are quite adept at picking up hammers that had struck foes or missed and are laying or the ground so they can keep throwing hammers. They always keep one that they never throw for improved melee damage over their fists.Koopa Racial Traits (Ex): Koopas do not suffer any reduction in speed for carrying a medium or heavy load.

Most do this as they are moving, quickly scooping up a fallen hammer before either throwing it, or quickly storing it to grab another nearby hammer. This ability can be used to pick up other medium sized objects with an easily identifiable handle, like other hand tools, knives, or similar items.Light FortificationAny critical attack against a koopa has a 25% chance of dealing normal damage instead.</blockquote>
