Gear. A typical bandit will wear leather armor, carry a small wooden shield, and be armed with a poorly maintained longsword and two daggers.

Some bandits will be outfitted and trained based on their role. For example, bandits that have a background in hunting may possess a short bow and those formerly in the militia a light crossbow. Bandits expecting to fight mounted opponents may arm with polearms or spears. Bandit leader-types will wear chain mail armor and may possess a war horse.

Brigands. A brigand is a Chaotic Evil bandit that gain a +10% to morale (due to fear of their leaders!). Otherwise, they conform to the stats given for bandits.

Larger numbers of bandits or brigands will be led by fighters (3rd-10th) and very large encampments will have priests and/or mages. Bandit camps and brigand caves will have up to 30-50 camp followers (slaves) and a number of prisoners (being ransomed).
