# Goblins

*I'm not saying gnomes are stupid. I'm just saying they lack.. creativity. Heck, anyone can make a mechanical mouse, but a bomb that can flatten a village? Now that's art!"* -Drax Goblin history is rich with folklore and tall tales, ranging from hobgoblin invasions of old, to the story of a young goblin once rode a chicken into an orc camp. However, it is also riddled with tales of subjugation and powerlessness as, due to their small size, they are frequently bullied into the service of other malevolent creatures. This history of groveling, makes goblins dream of gaining power and strength of their own, which sometimes draws them to adventure. ### Short and Mischievious Goblins are small, squat creatures about 3 to 4 feet tall with pointed ears and equally pointy teeth. They have jet black hair and skin that varies from hues of orange to hues of green. They have beady black eyes and flat faces. Besides that, goblins are very numerous and varied creatures almost more than humans. Goblins are behve worse when they have other goblins to interact with. They are often up to no good. When you are speaking to a goblin it is often that the goblin you are speaking to is finding various ways to ruin your day. ### Goblin Packs Goblins live in loose packs ruled by a leader they refer to as a Mob Boss. Evil goblin societies frequently war against their neighbours, if not attempt to annoy them. More peaceable goblins, who are fewer and far between, prefer to play practical jokes on neighbours, which sometimes can be just as bad as if they had declared war. Some goblins believe in reincarnation, which make them even more dangerous than normal goblins, as without the fear of death, they have no qualms dying or sacrificing other goblins for the greater (their own) good. In the cities where they are accepted, most of the time begrudgingly, goblins usually live in solitary or occasionally join gangs with other races. ### Goblin Names Goblin names are not given at birth as the average goblin life expectancy is very short and they believe giving a name to be a waste. Instead they assign them numbers until, if the goblin is lucky or resourceful enough, they reach the age of maturity (usually after 4 years). These names are given by the Mob Boss and named goblins gain great respect among their comrades. If a goblin does something incredibly daring (or stupid) and gains renown, he may also be given a title describing the deed. **Male:** Gungax, Makdox, Gizil, Bilnix Rukalog, Drax, Unkgil **Female:** Tiwin, Kawli, Wort, Ib, Drolaw, Marowa, Walow

They have been beaten and bruised enough to be slightly tougher than others of their kind. **Ability Score Increase.** Your Constitution Score is increased by 1. ** Mud Slinger.** You gain the cantrip vicious mockery, you use Charisma as your spell casting ability for this ability. **Worg Rider.** You have proficiency in the animal handling skill. **Run For It.** When the odds are against you, at least you can trust your legs.

If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. #### Boggarts Boggarts are goblins that live in the swamps and marshes of the world. While they are smaller in number than greenskins, they make up for it with strong communal relationships and fierce defense of their territory. Boggarts skin range from brown to black and have little hair on their heads, though they have been known to grow beards and whiskers. Unlike their more unruly kin, Boggarts very rarely interact with other races, preferring to keep to themselves. The only race they are openly hostile against are the Bullywugs, which they are at constant war with. **Ability Score Increase.** Your Wisdom Score is increased by 1. **Bogart Weapon Proficiency.** You have proficiency with the Blowdart and Net. **Swamp Immunity.** You have advantage on saving throws against poison and sickness, and you have resistance against poison damage. **Bog Swimmer.** You have a swim speed of 25 feet. #### Gremlins They are incredibly intelligent for goblins, and have a passion for creating that matches even the most dedicated of gnomes. Unfortunately, this passion is for creating things that destroy, which puts the goblins in a vicious cycle of rebuilding and destroying. They are the fewest among the goblins mostly because of their mad experiments. The main cause of death among gremlins is "immolation". **Ability Score Increase.** Your Intelligence Score is increased by 1. **Dangerous Tinker.** The gnomes like pretty things, but you like your creations to be a little more dynamic. You have proficiency with artisan’s tools. Using those tools, you can spend 1 hour and 10 gp worth of materials to construct a Tiny clockwork device (AC 5, 1 hp) that works for 24 hours, or when you use your action to dismantle it. You can have up to three such devices active at one time. You may reclaim the parts used to create the device once it stops functioning, only if it did not explode. When you create a device, choose one of the following options: *Bomb Boy:* A clockwork tiny construct that is in the form of a goblin. When placed on the ground, the toy moves 5 feet across the ground on each of your turns in the direction it is facing making a loud wailing sound as it walks. When it is destroyed roll a d20. On a roll of 12 or higher the object explodes in a sphere five feet in diameter dealing 1d4 fire damage. *Arsonist's Friend:* A small brass rod with a slit at the top and a button on the side. When the button on the device is is pushed roll 1d6. On an even roll the device produces a miniature flame, which you can use to light a candle, torch, or campfire. On a roll of one the device explodes causing 1d4 fire damage to the user. Using the device requires an action. *Blast Orb:* The device is a small brass orb that makes a ticking sound once a small button on the top is pressed. 5 seconds after the button at the top is pressed the device explodes in a sphere 10 feet in diameter dealing 1d8 fire damage to anything within it. If the device is destroyed, nothing happens. **Almost Fire Proof.** You have set yourself on fire so often you've gotten used to it. You are resistant to fire damage.
