Monster Monday: Time Bandit

RPG monsters

Victims of cruel experimentation by an insane sorcerer, a small group of diminutive men and women found their freedom. Shunned and feared by society, they have become small-time bandits, using their special abilities to survive.

They specialize in ranged attacks, using their innate time powers to confuse their enemies and gain advantage. They'd rather escape a bad situation than fight to the death.

Time bandits can move forwards and backwards slightly in time. They can un-do a hit or teleport to another location, consuming their action during that period.
