Goblins have a +4 racial bonus on Move Silently and Ride checks. With proper supervision, though, they can implement reasonably complex plans, and in such circumstances their numbers can be a deadly advantage. Goblins have a poor grasp of strategy and are cowardly by nature, tending to flee the field if a battle turns against them. They favor ambushes, overwhelming odds, dirty tricks, and any other edge they can devise. The concept of a fair fight is meaningless in their society. Most goblins encountered outside their homes are warriors the information in the statistics block is for one of 1st level.īeing bullied by bigger, stronger creatures has taught goblins to exploit what few advantages they have: sheer numbers and malicious ingenuity.

Most other races view them as virulent parasites that have proved impossible to exterminate. Those goblins that rely on their own wits to survive live on the fringes of society and feed on refuse and the weaker members of more civilized races. Weak and cowardly, goblins are frequently manipulated or enslaved by stronger creatures that need destructive, disposable foot soldiers. Goblins are a race of ugly creatures with a destructive and voracious nature that makes them almost universally despised. While they prefer human and gnome flesh, a goblin won't turn down any food – except, perhaps, vegetables. Goblins lairs always have numerous storerooms and larders. Goblins are voracious and can eat their body weight in food daily without growing fat. Goblins believe that writing steals words out of your head, and as a result of this belief, goblins are universally illiterate. Fire is much loved by goblins for its capacity to wreak great destruction and because it doesn't require size or strength to wield, but written words are hated. They have the habit of ascribing magic to the mundane as well, with fire and writing both taking on mystical power in goblin society. Goblins are also quite superstitious, and treat magic with a fawning mixture of awe and fear. Goblin hatred runs deep, and few things inspire their wrath more than gnomes (who have long fought against goblins), horses (who frighten goblins tremendously), and regular dogs (who goblins regard as pale imitations of goblin dogs). Coastlines are favored, as goblins are quite fond of sifting through junk and f lotsam in an unending quest to find treasures among the refuse of more civilized races. Very few goblins have the drive to build structures of their own. Goblins prefer to dwell in caves, amid large and dense thickets of thistles and brambles, or in structures built and then abandoned by others. Goblin is a race in Pathfinder: Kingmaker.
