Description

Goblins speak Goblin; those with Intelligence scores of 12 or above also speak Common.

Combat

They favor ambushes, overwhelming odds, dirty tricks, and any other edge they can devise.

Skills: Goblins gain a +4 racial bonus to Move Silently checks. Goblin cavalry (mounted on worgs) gain a +6 bonus to Ride checks and the Mounted Combat feat (neither of these benefits is included in the statistics block).

Goblin Characters

A goblin's favored class is rogue. Goblin clerics can choose two of the following domains: Chaos, Evil, and Trickery. Most goblin spellcasters are adepts. Goblin adepts favor spells that fool or confuse enemies.
