Goblin Information

Since Naga did a thread about Orcs I will have one about goblins.

Goblin

These Small Creatures can prety much live anywhere from the Surface to the Dark pits of the Underdark to Swamps. Goblins appear short small and ugly and often are Green to yellow Skin. They Can wear anything they get there hands on and love shiny objects.

Outlook

Goblins are cruel evil and viscouse. They Prefer a ambush weather than a fair fight. Goblins are all about survival and will do whatever they can that includes eating humanoids of all races. Goblins are vary Cowardly and are weak when Alone so most often in a fight when they are loosing they hide.

Goblin Characters.

Any class suites a goblin.

Fighters rogues and rangers are common for there skills in stealth. However ftr/rogues are often chieftens and skilled goblin wariors.

Favored Class Rogue- A goblins hiding skill is its advantage making rogue a good choice for a goblin.

Society of goblins.

Chieftans are the highest power among goblins. Goblins have no sense of privacy wich only the chieftans possess. A chieftan must be tough to defend his position as any warior of the tribe may Duel the Chieftan for his position. Also Goblins do not marry and have alot of Bastard Children. (Chieftens cant really keep track of whos there kid or not.)

A typical Goblin tribe has at least 100 people and continouly growing. They Breed like rats. Also a goblin Camp will often have traps and people with arrows.

Goblins are weak alone However if they have a proper commander there great numbers can win any outcome.

Languege and Literacy.

All goblins Speak Goblinoid. However some know Common and alot of them talk like complete morons. Chieftens Shamans and some know Dwarven and Orcan as well.

Goblin Deities Maglbuyet Or Hruggek(if the tribe is really ruled by bugbears.)

Relations With Other Races.

Goblins Maintain steady relations with most monsters (orcs Ogres gnools.) And are often bossed around by the bigger goblinoids Hobs and Bugs. Goblins hate and are suspiciouse of all Races.

However they have a hate of Dwarves and most goblins would enjoy some Dwarven Stew.

Too late.

Yeah I did the goblin one about 20 days before that orc one when I was bored. It should also be noted goblins don't get +4 hide and mve silently. They get a size bonus like all small creatures (+5/+5) but that size bonus doesn't count vs creatures of the same size as them and increases depending on the size of the spot/listener.

Also keep in mind the info I posted was copied pretty much word for word from Races of FaerĂșn not my personal speculations and mixed facts!

Damn You LAB! I will Beat you to another Subrace I swear to gods.

Also its a nice thread.

Also Lets not forget who got the dms to script Hobgoblins and Bugbears?

*coughs* DRD *coughs*

I played the first hobgoblin And Bugbear (for 1 day.) The Trag Sharkslayer in Lower is me and feel free to raise him for whatever reason.

Heres some tips to playing goblinoids.

1 The APP!

Always include who it will be fun for and have a super sweet backround. (also include in the app you will have a Prelude it also helps.) Have in your app how you feel about humans and how you plan not to get killed.

2 Have you just arrived in Sanctuary? if not how long have you been there?

3 Survival! If you are inteligent you will have it fairly easy to get along with humans. Since you are a giant goblinoid boss around goblins make them your slaves. Also hate goblins and kobolds for how weak you are.

4 be friends with the right people establish Conections. (Hrug had alot of them.) https://efupw.com/efu1-forum

5 Dont Screw with Team Law!

6 Have Fun! Remember people can attack you for being a monster but you can fight back! Stock Potions Be Prepared!

7 Dont take crap from anybody.

8 Make goblins do your bidding.

9 Dont piss off humans. (Hrug once had a angry mob chase him for doing a job humans should of!. A Kid was throwing Rottten fruit at people and was lieing to Delina of the Ibrandul Shrine SO Hrug Just kit the Kid and a Angry Mob Chased me,

10- Use The place where goblins live as a shelter. (sewer place!)

11 Expect Racism However dont at all Care because they know you can Eat and kill them at the same time.

12 Join a gang!

13 Be a Coward! Goblins pick on people weaker and run from stuff stronger! Just BEcause Npc Monsters Charge and fight until they Die Dosent mean you should!

14 In Public dont Start fights finish them!

If you want to kill rob and devour a random person There are Places Sewers Goblin Town Tunells THe UNDERDARK! ETC!

With that I leave you!

Some of that info you posted on playing a bugbear/hobgoblin(or any of the larger goblinoids) is a bit questionable DRD, sorry to say but really it's up to a player how he interprets the guidelines set out by D&D on how to play that race. Hobgoblins(Hrunk anyone?) for example being choatic beasts, would mess with team law all the time.

Alot of them are also very proud beasts who will attack not thinking of consequences (as monsters the sheer meaning of the word consequence is likely alien). But anyway best not get into a debate about it as these things can stretch out for many pages!
