Goblin

Goblins

Goblins, or jebli, are insidious nighttime raiders aver aging 4 feet in height. More powerful creatures usu ally dominate them, though all goblins swear fealty to the name of the local goblin king. The names of their best-known tribes include Night Terror, Death Feast, Black Agony, Poison Wound, Bitter Ruin, and Dire Oath. Goblins are scattered across the Flanaess in hundreds of places.

The humanoid races of the Flanaess have historically been driven into the least favorable areas-mountains, hills, barren plains, swamps, and marshlands. However, three lands are now dominated by them. The Bone March is home to orcs, ogres, and gnolls; the Pomarj is the habitat of the same races, together with bugbears; and the Lost Lands (previously the Grand Duchy of Geoff and Sterich) have been overrun by ogres, giants, hobgoblins, and other humanoids. Iuz, of course, has many humanoids within his lands.

There is no common factor that unites these marauding monsters. The orcs of the Pomarj have no alliance and no communication with the orcs of the Bone March, for example. Even the priesthoods of the same orcish deities have virtually no communication. The humanoids are a rabble, but that makes them no less dangerous.

Feats specific to Goblin

A feat represents a talent or an area of expertise that gives a character special capabilities. It embodies training, experience, and abilities beyond what a class provides.

At certain levels, your class gives you the Ability Score Improvement feature. Using the optional feats rule, you can forgo taking that feature to take a feat of your choice instead. You can take each feat only once, unless the feat’s description says otherwise.

You must meet any prerequisite specified in a feat to take that feat. If you ever lose a feat’s prerequisite, you can’t use that feat until you regain the prerequisite. For example, the Grappler feat requires you to have a Strength of 13 or higher. If your Strength is reduced below 13 somehow — perhaps by a withering curse — you can’t benefit from the Grappler feat until your Strength is restored.
