They always had the stealth thing, and could surprise, at great cost to their opponents, at least in AD&D.Lets look at some encounter statsThis tough old bugbear is equal to an ogre (AC 5, HD 4 + 1, hp 18, #AT 1, D 3-12 (d10 + 2), Save F 4, ML 9). He has a pouch with a key, 29 platinum pieces, and 3 50 g.p. gems in it. With him is a female bugbear equal to the male (AC 5, HD3 + 1, hp 12, #AT1, D 2-8, Save F 3, ML 9).and6 BUGBEARS (H.P.: 17, 14,12,2xI 1,9): AC 5; HD 3 + I; Move 9“; 1 attack for 2-8 hit points damage each....They surprise opponents 50% of the time...The first is from B2, keep on the borderlands, the second from T1 village of homlet. Each is surrounded by other allies, who they can try to alert. They are supposed to be played clever. (In B2, in the first bugbear encounter, they to trick the party by pretending to eat, then attacking with meat skewers). They are a little farther in their respective adventures, and your adventurers could be 2nd level. Party may also be a bit bigger (in both B2 and T1 you can recruit help, thoug in T1, the help may turn on you). But still, the 2nd level cleric, for example, will have about 9 hp and 1-2 spells, per day.Its a deadly game.</blockquote>
