The SendingStone review

In my opinion, Scout is a decent choice for a low-level NPC or a quick enemy encounter. Their AC and HP are balanced for a CR 1/2 rating, and their DEX allows for some decent attacks and mobility. However, their abilities and stats are not particularly outstanding or unique, and their lack of proficiency in any specific skill makes them a bit underwhelming in terms of role-playing potential. Overall, Scout is a serviceable choice for a minor character in a campaign, but won't stand out as particularly memorable or impactful.
