The Goblin
Appearance
Goblins are a humanoid race typically
described by two traits; that they are
small and that they are ugly. They stand
between three and a half to four and a
half feet tall, nearly half the size of a man.
Their skin is pale, in colors ranging from
chalky tan to yellow and red to gray.
Their eyes usually range from red to
yellow and seem to glow when there is
little light. Their hair color is usually
black, but various shades of brown and
even reddish-orange are common.
Their facial features are often described
to be like various animals. Often
describes as a mix of wolf, ape, goat,
camel, sharp, bat or any other number of
animals, in truth any one tribe looks
quite distinct from others. But nearly
every goblin has large, pointed ears,
sharp teeth and beastly eyes. They also
tend to have very lanky bodies with
longer, thinner arms and legs. Goblins
from any given tribe generally resemble
each other quite closely, although, since
they accept those from other tribes so
readily, even within the same tribe there
is plenty of variation.
While left on their own, they dress them-
selves in the hides of various animals,
usually only fitted to them quite crudely
with very little effort put into proper
fitting or stitching. These hides are not
well-taken care of, often showing signs of
rotting or being eaten by moths. Howev-
er, those that live near settlements of
other races will wear and an assortment
of typically ill-fitted clothing or armor
either scavenged or stolen from other
races. These clothes will typically show
all signs of being second hand and will
often enough be blood-stained suggesting
the fate of the previous owner. They do
prefer darker colors to lighter ones as it
helps them disappear into the shadows
more easily, although the darker colors
may only be the result of their clothing
being extremely filthy. Often Goblins will
have tribal marks either painted or
tattooed into their skin.
Personality
Goblin lives are quite short and brutal. A
goblin is considered a full adult by the
time they are 10 years old and typically
they meet a violent end well before they
are 30. There is no recorded instance of a
goblin dying of old age, although those
who have made it to around 50 years of
age or so are encountered occasionally
and they show great signs of aging.
Because they know their lives are short,
goblins live with zeal and passion. They
must make every day count, for they have
so few. They follow their emotions to
whatever trouble it might land them in
and they are notoriously impatient and
quick to anger. They generally delight in
causing chaos, and usually not in a partic-
ularly benign way. They lack almost all
manners, taste and delicacy. They are
loud, messy, irresponsible and rude. They
tend to do whatever strikes their fancy at
any given time, but at leaste they tend to
put the good of the troup above their own.
They have extrmeely short attention spans
and will fixate upon one thing to an
unhealthy degree one moment only to
suddenly have absolutely no interest in it
the next, having moved onto the next thing.
They hate others exercising power over
them, though they get captured and
enslaved more often than anyone would
believe. As slaves they make a point to
rebel in any way they think they can
without losing their heads—even if it is
in some small, petty way.
Goblins can be extremely perverted and
always seem to be looking for someone
or something to mate with. This trait
serves them well as a society since it
takes only about a dozen years for a
group of goblins to go from only a few to
a full tribe of dozens of members.
Goblins tend to look upon all Goblin chil-
dren as their own. In fact, it takes very
little for a Goblin to start treating children
of other races as their own. They have even
been known to steal children that strike
their fancy and bring them back home,
something that never works out well.
Goblins tend to be extremely insecure
about their size and seem to work con-
stantly to prove themselves. This often
means picking on anyone smaller than
they are and they generally enjoy killing
and causing destruction and chaos
simply because of the thrill of power it
gives them. While this is not true of all
Goblins, it is true of more than enough
for the behavior to be well associated
with their kind.
Goblins as a whole have no problems
with lying, cheating and stealing, assum-
ing they are even capable of grasping the
concept of the third. They learn early in
life to do unto others before they do unto
you, it is their only way of survival. They
take particular pride in being cunning
and deceptive, humiliating and playing
pranks on people—often even friends.
They are fast-talking, shady trickers that
love nothing more than fooling others,
often choosing the worst time to exhibit
these traits. This tends to be obnoxious
and deterimental rather than bringing
amusement into the world.
Goblins seem to enjoy collecting treasure,
although their concept of treasure has a
wider definition than that used by most
species, even though they often don’t
really have a solid grasp on the concept of
trade systems. In fact, once introduced to
the concept of trading items with others,
they seem to love the concept and offer to
trade seemingly useless items all the time.
They can be pretty easily taken advantage
of as they are quite willing to trade away
something more valuable for something
shinier, more colorful or simply more
useful right away.
Goblins create very little of their own
accord, but seem to be quite skilled in
digging through the trash of other races
and piecing what they need together. In
fact, they generally sem to revel more in
destruction than the creation of anything
with any real lasting value. However, that
being said, there are plenty of Goblins who
show remarkable flashes of insight and
brilliance. And the amount that they learn
in their short lives is truly remarkable, to
the point that other races have attempted
to study it and some have considered with
trepedation what a goblin could become if
it lived long enough to.
Society
Goblins are as prolific as humans,
although one could live their whole lives
without realizing this, and they live wher-
ever they can find a place to live. They
make their way in the world by hunting,
gathering, raiding and stealing rather than
anything agraian or industrious. They are
a race that has existed since the beginning
and in that time they have had plenty of
chance to adapt to many different
regions. So it is impossible to say that
goblins live in any one particular
region—one can simply say that they try
to live out of sight of the larger races.
Goblins usually live in small, isolated
tribes with less than a thousand mem-
bers led by a chieftain or king. The chief-
tain is typically the eldest among the
tribe and is venerated by the rest as a
father (or mother) to them all. Although
there is a chief, most tribes are so chaotic
and anti-authoritarian that decisions in
the tribe are typically made through a
semi-democratic manner—although it
might be more true to simply say that
Goblins seem to either do whatever they
want or follow whatever everyone else is
doing if nothing particularly strikes their
fancy at any moment. Though Goblins
are known to run from most fights, they
almost never abandon their chief.
Goblin societies tend to have no concept
of personal property—anything that one
of them gathers belongs to the tribe a as
a whole. Weapons, tools, treasure and the
like are all communally shared and no
one cares who uses which one. They have
communal areas for eating and for sleep-
ing. Only the chief is likely to have his
own sleeping quarters, always guarded by
trusted elite. The concept of privacy is
completely foreign to Goblins and it
would be beyond them to understand
why anyone would wish to make them-
selves vulnerable outside the eyesight of
their fellow tribe members lest danger
arise.
Goblins have a ranking system within
their tribes and those who have proven
their value and worth to their tribe move
up the ranks while those who slack off
fall. Any goblins that don’t pull their own
weight are likely to be met with the threat
of exile. Because of this, goblins from a
young age learn the concept of putting the
tribe before themselves for their own
survival.
Goblins tend not to have any sort of func-
tioning sanitation system and, as they
tend not to be nomadic, their homes can
get pretty filthy and give off a terribly
putrid stench. In some ways this may
work as a deterrent to those seeking to
destroy them, but at the same time the
stench tends to cling to them for their
lifetimes seeing to it that they will never
be accepted into polite society.
The various tribes of Goblins don’t show
much allegiance to one another. When two
tribes meet it is as likely to mean violent
war as it is to mean trade or alliance.
Although many goblin tribes can be pulled
together under a single flag of a particu-
larly powerful or influential warlord, these
armies tend to fall apart once the warlord
has been defeated and all the tribes flee
back to their homes. Typically when a
threat is attacking one tribe of goblins,
others will do nothing to assist them. In
fact, they might even be glad to be rid of
the competition.
Surviving Goblins from a destroyed tribe
can usually join another tribe, even those
of their enemies, without much fuss at all.
In fact, it isn’t even unusual for Goblins to
leave their tribes to either start or join
other tribes. There is no stigma attached to
doing this. And those who have left before
are typically accepted back just as easily.
At any given time half of the members of
any tribe will be children. Males do most of
the fighting and hunting, but only because
Goblin’s breeding habits mean that the
females spend most of their lives pregnant.
Goblin pregnancies only last for about five
months and three to five children are born
at a time. In fact, a Goblin mother can
have children by two or three different
fathers at the same time. Females rarely
learn to fight and tend to tend to the
home, taking care of the young and ser-
vicing the males and their equipment.
Although Goblins and Hobgoblins gener-
ally share a similar spoken language, with
the language differences between the two
races being larger than that between the
subraces, their methods of writing are
quite different. Those Goblins who can
read and write tend to use a simple pho-
netic-based characters that have some
minor differences from tribe to tribe.
Gobins can generally read other goblin’s
writing, but not that of Hobgoblins.
Diet
Goblins are omnivorous. They eat any-
thing. Although only Cavern Goblins are
known to hunt other peoples as food,
there is really little that could have nutri-
tion value that is too disgusting for a
Goblin to eat it. Given a preference they
would tend towards meats and fruit, but
a goblin who has ever been in an position
to choose would be a truly rare one
indeed. Because they are not terribly
picky about what to eat at all, they can
always find food with very little trouble.
This allows them to feed their tribes
despite that they tend to be too small and
meager to make very good hunters and
they are almost never left in peace by
larger races long enough to grow their
own food.
Abilities
Goblins are swift and agile to a surpris-
ing extreme. They are expersts at using
stealth, able to almost vanish entirely
into the shadows. They seem to be able to
brush off the sort of diseases that others
would be prone to if they tried to live the
way the goblins live.
They also can can universally see well in
low light. Those that live underground
have well developed vision able to see
perfectly for around 30 yards in complete
darkness while those from surface-dwell-
ing sub-races are able to get around at
night as easily as they can during the day.
Goblins are particularly well-known for
their mysterious ability to train big, scary,
wild beasties that are beyond the abilities
of most other race’s animal wranglers to
handle. In particular, they are most
famous for their wolf riders— warriors
mounted atop violent and vicious wolfs
that are quite a threat to anyone. How this
comes about when the wolf itself is far
more a threat than the Goblin seated upon
it has many theories, however any worth-
while Goblin champion has a wolf.
Weaponry
Goblins are most famous for using small
blade weapons and spears. They also make
use of small, often crudely carved bows
sometimes, but these take quite a lot of
work for them and most favor the simply
sling instead. In general Goblins are not
known for their ability to craft, so weap-
ons they make on their own tend not to be
too impressive. The only armor they tend
to make themselves is layers of hide or
poor attempts at crafting leather.
Those who have met other races and have
been able to scavenge their stuff might
wear chainmail, but only the best among
them even make use of it as it tends to
rattle a lot and a goblin’s life is highly
dependent on their ability to be stealthy.
However, they do seem to be able to make
their own simple wooden shields and
make use of them often enough.

Allies
Goblins haven’t any allies to speak of.
Even other Goblins are in no way guaran-
teed to be friendly. Almost any race that
doesn’t want to enslave them instead
wants to exterminate them. Positive
relationships with Goblins almost always
happen on the personal level and, once in
a blue moon, on the tribal level. A guild
might well have a Goblin member or two
and still have a policy of wiping out Gob-
lins wherever they find them. Perhaps the
most consistent allies of Goblins tend to
be Hobgoblins, Bugbears, Orcs and
Ogres. But then, they all generally seek to
simply make Goblins their slaves.
Enemies
Goblins are generally hated by Dwarves,
and they don’t care for Dwarfs one bit
either, any meeting between the two is
almost certain to result in violence. Gob-
lins fear Elves. There is plenty of evidence
that Elves and Goblins share some deep,
ancient connection although no one is
quite certain precisely what the connec-
tion is. Gnomes are often enemies of the
Goblins, although they are also one of the
first races to befriend Goblins as
well—but that has more to do with the
odd nature of Gnomes than anything else.
While virtually everything else in the
world is also an enemy of Goblins as a
whole, they tend to make judgments about
the race on an individual or tribe level.
Combat
Goblins don’t like to fight in broad day-
light. It doesn’t serve their purposes and
fighting style well at all, so they are often
quick to run from a fight that happens
out in the open in well-lit areas. Instead
they excel at fighting others in the dark,
surrounding them and hitting them with
ambushes, striking from the shadows
before disappearing back into them. They
use their overwhelming numbers to their
advantage whenever possible, usually
ganging up on one opponent and taking
them down before moving on to the next.
Whenever their numbers become fewer
than their enemies, they are known to
disappear and flee to get reinforcements.
They also fight dirty, showing malicious
ingenuity and looking to weaken their
enemies with various shots to cripple
them before going in directly for a kill.
Their attack plans tend not to be terribly
complex and are usually made up on the
spot, going with the ebb and flow of the
battle. In fact, goblins with a solid plan are
likely to fight worse than those going off
instinct as their plans quickly fall apart.
They regularly make use of big beasties or
larger allies as muscle to confront their
enemies directly as they go around the
back and look for a chance to jump on an
enemy and slit their throat. Goblins will
make use of poison whenever they can get
it. Cavern Goblins are known to utilize
arcane magic, Hill Goblins have priests
who will pray to their dark gods to terror-
ize and strike down their enemies while
Forest Goblins use nature magic to sup-
port their fellows, turning the very land
against those who face them.
Subraces
Cavern Goblins, also known as Night
Goblins, live in tunnels connected by caves
underground. They are the ones that most
frequently come into clashes with Dwarfs
and Gnomes. They tend to have grayish
skin and very large, shimmering eyes that
seem to glow. Their noses tend to be short
and pug-like and their ears gnarled and
crooked. They have yellowed teeth and
often give off a putrid stench.
They are the most vicious of the goblin sub-races,
the one that is known to be cannibalistic and to
engage in rites of dark sorcerery. They emerge
from their caverns only at night in hunting par-
ties, often to raid villages nearby a cavern
entrance and come back with all the supplies they
can. Although masters of hiding in the shadows,
Cavern Goblins often get captured by other dark
dwellers for use as slave labor. Since wolves are
not normally seen undergrounds, they instead
make use of giant spiders or bats and rumors of
them utilizing some truly odd animals have been
heard of. Those that escape might take refuge
among the Svifneblin. They are generally a nasty,
evil lot that inspires most of the horror stories
told about Goblins.
They are also the only goblins that proactively
show an industrious attitude as they often choose
to engage in mining. It is well-known that Cavern
Goblins take slaves as often as they become them,
using their slaves for both labor and as lifestock.
Forest Goblins are the least well-known of the
Goblins. They live deep within wooded
lands—forests, jungles, and swamps, all filled
with nasty, vicious, toxic animals that dissuade
too many others from entering. They have green-
ish-tinted tan skin, large bat-like ears and long,
pointed noses.
They have regular contact with only the Elves and
Gnomes that share their lands and their relation-
ship with both is a bit shaky. Forest Goblins have
a highly shamanistic society, making heavy use of
animal totems and trying to connect to the forest
itself. They are skilled at navigating the forest and
will often use this skill to punish and harass tres-
passers into their lands.
They make use of a wider variety of animals than
other Goblin sub-races, often utilizing all sorts of
big, ferocious forest-dwelling animals to combat
their enemies. Their shamans have complete mas-
tery of the weather and the plants as well, able to
use them to fight against invaders into the forest.
Hill Goblins are the most civilized of Gob-
lins, but also those that have received the
most punishment at the hands of other
races. They are often considered a bit
comical in the eyes of others. They have
yellow to orange skin, beady little eyes and
ears that look quite like a larger version of
elven ears.
They live in the mountains and hills, wor-
shipping dark gods or sometimes nature
spirits. While they might be just as
stealthy as their cousins if given the
chance, their natural terrain gives them
little chance to be. As a result, they often
get rounded up and enslaved by larger
races. They are the rank-and-file of the
armies of the hordes led by Hobgoblins,
Orcs and Ogres.
Those that escape such fates often end up
living in the refuse and sewers of other
races, making their lives in the shadows
and living off of garbage. Their attempts at
making life here often receive the blame
for the despoiling of the land in these
areas rather than the larger races recog-
nizing their own role in such things.
Desperate for survival, Hill Goblins often
become bandits and brigands, robbing
whomever they can to get more supplies
for their tribes. Sooner or later their
actions draw enough attention that others
come in to exterminate the goblins, often
not even sparing the youngest and most
vulnerable among them. But then, every
now and again someone takes pity on
them, a church thinks they can prove the
value of their god by raising and convert-
ing the least of souls or a guild thinks it
would be clever to have one as a pet or
mascot or a master thief realizes their
natural stealth abilities and decides to
raise them as his personal crew. In such
cases they might find a patron with which
they can at least pass through society
without being murdered on sight. This is
the most typical route in which Goblin
mercenaries or adventurers that can
work and travel with other races comes
about.
Goblins as Other Classes
Bard: When you use Arcane Arts to
increase the next time someone success-
fully assists your target, the bonus is
increased to a +3.
Cleric: Darkness rather than Light is a
rote for you.
Druid: You have the Beastmaster move
from this class.
Their animal companion is as it not only
helps the character scout, but it gives the
goblin an extremely large carrying capacity,
allowing the party to carry more treasure
home. With the Wolfrider Advanced move,
you will be able to become a powerful war-
rior on its back.
As you reach higher levels, the Goblin can
help the party to avoid unnecessary battles
and its ability to hit and run will become
even more useful and potent.
You’ll want to focus on your Dexterity,
Wisdom and Constitution more than your
other scores.

Fighter: You have the For the Tribe! move

from this class.

Paladin: Your I Am The Law move works

on animals as well as people.

Ranger: Your animal companion has +1

Ferocity and the Huge strength.

Rogue: Each time you prepare uses of

poison, you gain four uses of your chosen
poison instead of three.

Wizard: Invisiblity rather than Light is a

cantrip for you.

Playing This Class

The Goblin class relies heavily on stealth.
It is generally a melee character, but not
one meant to take too many blows nor
deal too much damage in a single hit. It
does less damage than other melee class-
es, but can be a plenty potent combatant
with the right move choices. It really
shines in a role supporting the rest of the
group, whether by helping them attack
more accurately or by helping them
gather supplies.
