Demonic Possession. A cowardly demon whispers through the bandit's mouth, granting it a jittery, anxious aura. The host is cursed with the demon's desire to live and avoid bloodshed; in combat the demon speaks in a trembling voice, occasionally pleading for mercy.

Begging Voice. When the host is about to take a lethal blow or at the start of the demon's turn, the demon's pleas can be heard by those within 30 feet. Each creature that can hear the voice must succeed on a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw or be compelled to hesitate, suffering disadvantage on attack rolls against the host for 1 round.

Actions

Multiattack. The possessed bandit makes two attacks: one with a scimitar and one with a dagger.

Scimitar. Melee weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6+3) slashing damage.

Dagger. Melee weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d4+3) piercing damage.

Beg for Mercy. The demon's cowardly plea fills the air. Each creature within 30 feet that can hear it and understands Common must succeed on a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw or be hesitant to attack the host for 1 round (disadvantage on attack rolls against the possessed bandit for 1 round).

Lore & Description

Appearance

A lean, ragged bandit in torn leather armor, with a wary, twitching smile. The demon within flickers in his eyes, a pale ember that speaks in a tremulous voice. The host wields a pair of blades with practiced ease, moving with a restless, self-preserving grace. When he pleads for mercy, the words spill out in a breathy whisper, begging not for himself but for life to be spared—even as the bandit presses the fight.

Behavior & Origins

The Beggar-Bandit is a rogue once driven by greed who became the vessel of a cowardly demon. The demon would rather beg for mercy than spill blood, but it will not hesitate to drive the host to strike when cornered. In battles, the host's fear and the demon's pleas blend into a haunting performance that unsettles witnesses as much as it harms foes.
