DUERGAR

The duergar are a subrace of subterranean dwarves. The main visible difference is in their paler skin and often they can be less hairy than their overground cousins.
The majority still live below the surface and many duergar who can be seen in 'normal' society are criminal outcasts who have been exiled from their duergar communities. Thus, they may be involved with various crime syndicates above ground and have tattoos which note their allegiance to organisations in both domains.

Actions

Enlarge (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). For 1 minute, the duergar magically increases in size, along with anything it is wearing or carrying. While enlarged, the duergar is Large, doubles its damage dice on Strength-based weapon attacks (included in the attacks), and makes Strength checks and Strength saving throws with advantage. If the duergar lacks the room to become Large, it attains the maximum size possible in the space available.

War Pick. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 1d8+2 piercing damage, or 11 2d8+2 piercing damage while enlarged.

Javelin. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 30/120 ft., one target. Hit: 5 1d6+2 piercing damage, or 9 2d6+2 piercing damage while enlarged.

Invisibility (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). The duergar magically turns Invisible until it attacks, casts a spell, or uses its Enlarge, or until its concentration is broken, up to 1 hour (as if concentrating on a spell). Any equipment the duergar wears or carries is Invisible with it.
