Maneuvers. The hobgoblin uses maneuvers (maneuver save Difficulty 11). It has 2 stamina dice which are d8s, a dice limit of 1, regains all expended stamina dice when it finishes a long rest, and regains half its total stamina dice when it finishes a short rest. It knows the following maneuvers:
1 stamina die: hamstring, parry, slice through, spring attack, trip
Martial Advantage (1/turn). The hobgoblin can deal an extra 7 (2d6) damage when it hits a target with a weapon attack if it doesn’t have disadvantage on the attack and the target is flat-footed, if it has advantage on the attack, or when the target is within 1 meter of an enemy of the target that isn’t incapacitated.

Maneuvers
As an action, make a melee weapon attack that deals slashing damage to cripple the creature.
On a hit, add the stamina die to the attack’s damage and the creature must succeed on a Fortitude saving throw or it is slowed 1 until the end of its next turn.
On a critical hit, add twice as much damage.
On a miss by 4 or less, add half as much damage.
Enhance
You can increase the damage for each additional stamina die expended and the slowed level by 1 for every two additional stamina die expended.
You can expend 1 additional stamina die so the creature is slowed for 1 minute/stamina die. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
As a reaction, which you use when you are hit by a weapon attack that you can see, you can block the blow with a melee weapon you wield. Roll a d3 and add the result to your Defense against the triggering attack. You can do so after the roll but before any effects of the roll occur.
As an action, make a weapon attack with a melee weapon that deals slashing damage and then slice through the target. Each creature within 1 meter of the target and within your weapon’s reach must make a Reflex saving throw.
On a failure, it takes slashing damage equal to the stamina die.
On a critical failure, it takes twice as much damage.
On a success, it takes half as much damage.
On a critical success, it takes no damage.
Enhance
You can increase the damage for each additional stamina die expended.

On a critical hit, add twice as much damage.
On a miss by 4 or less, add half as much damage.
