*Not for society credit, sorry*
"You are goblins of the Licktoad tribe, who live deep in Brinestump Marsh, south of the hated man-town called Sandpoint. Once, other goblins tried to burn Sandpoint down, and they would have been legends if they had succeeded. But they didn’t bring enough fire, and got themselves killed as a result.
Yesterday, your tribe discovered that one of your own had been using forbidden arts and was engaged in one of the greatest of taboos—writing things down. In fact, rumor holds that what he was writing was a history of your tribe! There’s no swifter way to bring about bad luck than stealing words out of your mind by writing them down, and so your tribe had no choice. You branded the goblin’s face with letters to punish him, which is why everyone calls him Scribbleface now, and then you ran him out of town, took all of his stuff, and burned down his hut.
That’s where things got interesting, because before you all burned down his hut, Chief Gutwad found a weird box within the building. Inside was a map and a lot of fireworks—fireworks that immediately came to use in burning the hut down. Then, this morning, Gutwad announced that tonight there would be a feast in order to drive out any lingering bad luck from Scribbleface’s poor decisions. But perhaps even more exciting, all of you have been secretly invited to meet at Chief Gutwad’s Moot House. Why would the chief want to speak to you? It can only mean that he’s got an important mission foryou all... one that the other goblins of the tribe couldn’t pull off. This could be your chance to go down in
Licktoad history!"
I'm looking for four level 1 Goblins ready to get into all sorts of trouble and possibly die terribly in a freak firework accident! We be goblins is short and very silly and I intend to play into it's goblin humor as much as I can, and so should you
We won't be using the pre generated characters, although if you want to tweak one of them to be your own that's fine. I'm looking for a semi-balanced group of interesting funny goblins who will post consistently. This is very much a fluff over crunch game.

Level one
15 point buy
Any paizo class, summoners are unchained, no spellbooks (goblins fear writing will steal the words from their heads)
Average wealth by class

Backround skills are in use
Feat tax is in use
Oh goodie! I've been wanting a chance to play this character for a while now. Dogdog was made for another We Be Goblins game that didn't quite make it off the ground.
Even for a goblin he's a deranged little mongrel. He thinks he's a dog. or, maybe he just really likes pretending to be one. He carries around a Scizore made from the skull of the goblin dog who raised him and uses it like a handpuppet. He talks to it and makes it talk back. He wears a leash and mostly does what he's told when the person holding it gives him commands.
I've been hoping for a goblin campaign soon. Here's my entry:
Torch the Goblin
Background
-----------------------
A nearby pack of wolves were howling the night that Torch was born, and since that day, Torch has grown up with the belief that he is to carry out Bark Breaker's will. Praying and doing rituals was too boring, though, so Torch decided to just set things on fire instead. And kill dogs. But Torch couldn't find any dogs, so he set more things on fire instead. Torch has been so faithful.
Earning his name from his constant fixation on gazing at torches, Torch was quickly drafted to become the chief's new torchbearer after the last one set himself on fire and died. Torch remembers that glorious death, and hopes that he can one day end life in such a fulfilling way as well.
As torchbearer, Torch is quite content, enjoying having fire so close at all times. Especially since he gets to be the 'one' to start the many fires for the festivals of the tribe. Torch also got to ride on the previous torchbearer's wolf, Not-Dog. Not-Dog used to be called Black Fur, but Torch believes Not-Dog is a much better name for him.
Having been the honored one to begin the fire that consumed Scribbleface's hut, Torch is still filled with a bit of europhia and hopes to be able to join the tribe in raids soon so that he can set more fires. Oh, and kill some dogs. Yes. Some dogs would be nice to kill.
-----------------------
Personality
-----------------------
Torch loves to set things ablaze and stare at the flames while mayhem begins to ensue. While he is natural mischevious like most goblins, Torch is particularly aggressive against dogs, and takes large offense if Not-Dog is compared or referred to as a dog. Because Not-Dog is definitely not a dog.
Torch also loves to cause disorder around him, and enjoys a good prank, whether he is the trickster or target. If something gets set ablaze during these pranks, all the more fun.
Not-Dog is quite a loyal companion, despite Torch's mischeviousness and constant demands. Captured as a pup, Not-Dog is already used to the mayhem and fire of the tribe, but prefers to sleep in cool places rather than do anything else. And though he is used to Torch's love for fire, he still refuses to let Torch set him completely ablaze to make him Fire-Not-Dog. He does not seem to care much that he outlived the last torchbearer and has a new rider.
-----------------------
Description
-----------------------
Torch is a green skinned goblin with several burn marks and even some patches of fur, though even Torch has forgotten whether he grew them or added them on. He is almost always found carrying a torch and atop or near Not-Dog.
Not-Dog is a black furred wolf with a few patches here and there missing from repeated attempts from Torch to make Not-Dog into a Fire-Not-Dog.

On another note, should the adventure go well and the players and you be up for it, is there a chance for the game to continue on into the other We Be Goblins modules or other misadventures?
This is fun! I am going to work on a insane Cthulu worshipping cleric tonight.
Do you have a date deadline? Just wondering so I know how often to recheck this thread.
Goblin racial traits: Looking for a source for these.
I see the alternative racial traits, but that is not what you mean, I think.
|
Professor Zord! Insane goblin cleric. He can heal (not very well), channel some nasty madness energy, summon nasty madness monsters, and he is CRAAAAZZZZYYYY! Since his prime attributes are the two that goblins get a -2 in... poor professor Zord is pretty un-optimized. He will actually probably be pretty terrible at life.
******************************
Zord was a normal goblin: eating humans whenever he could, eating dogs when they were available, and otherwise digging through the trash of his wealthier neighbors.
Zord ran a little fortune-teller stand in the corner of the cave. He was terrible at the job, and only a few of his friends would throw copper his way here and there, knowing that he just lied about all the fortune-telling anyway. Zord was a pretty dumb, even going by goblin standards, and just barely scraping by.
One night, while mumbling and uttering various profanities in the course of his normal prayers to the goddess Lamashtu, Zord accidently said the precisely correct combinations of gibberish to piece the veil between the prime world and the distant plane of madness where Cthulu, the Great Old One, resided. Zord's soul and mind was immediately lain asunder before the might of the demigod, and Cthulu laughed and laughed to see a pitiful goblin before him.
Cthulu's laugh entered into Zord's brain, and utterly broke him. Cthulu, finding great humor in the whole situation, granted Zord a small bit of power, allowing Zord to channel destructive energy and pull misshapen creatures from the beyond. Zord! Cthulu's representative on Golarian!
Zord is now utterly insane, and incapable of speaking in more than single word sentences. He does like laughing, though.
When Zord summons a creature, though, his mind grows sharp, far sharper than he was even before encountering Cthulu. He is able to talk intelligently in these situations, but only to the creatures that he summons. His friends all call him Professor Zord when this happens...
@Mustachioed: Go to Race Traits on d20pfsrd and press ctrl+F to search the page. Type Goblin, and you'll find all the racial traits for goblins right now.
@Fire Drake - I don't have the other books, but if all goes well with this and we decide we want to I would consider getting them. Also would you mind making an alias for Torch. You don't need to post with it here, just give me a link.
@mustachioed - I'll close the recruitment by next saturday (feb 10th), maybe sooner if I get enough submissions.
I have a few ideas.
There is a variant of the goblins for unusually large goblins in the Monster Codex. It makes them medium size and the stat modifications change to +2 str +2 dex -2 cha. I had some notions inspired by Strong Belwas. Just a big mean dangerous goblin who loves a good fight.
@ The Gamemaster:Here ya go. Also, the whole set of the goblin modules are free downloads here on paizo.
@Kevin O'Rourke 440 - It looks like that adds a size category and +2 in racial bonuses for no drawback. I'll consider it if you add some sort of handicap as well.
@Fire Drake - Thank you for the alias helps keep everything organized. Doesn't look like you actually posted a link to the downloads
EDIT: found them!
I will point out you lose two dex to get the +2 strenght. By the race builder rules medium and small size are the same cost so I believe they meant them to be balanced. Rather than trying to rework it a regular goblin will work for other concepts... they have a lot of things funneling into stealth!
I'd love to play a goblin Tome Eater Occultist! He would have a "spellbook" as his implement per the class, but doesn't read it and probably has it all chained up to keep it safe and closed. And he eats any other books he finds! Does that break your no spellbook rule?
I could make him a melee or a caster or in between as needed. I can put together some more details tomorrow.
If the tome eater is a no-go, then a haunted spiritualist, haunted by a big dog or horse phantom would also be entertaining.
@Kevin O'Rourke 440 - they get a +2 strength replacing a -2 to strength so +4 strength from the normal goblin. In a game that wan't all goblins I would be less hesitant.
@Lupulus - Tome Eater is fine. Im sure such a character is controversial among the Licktoad tribe.
That's fair... all the stealth bonuses with a classic goblin at least.
Here I was watching for billybrainpan, silly me. I'll have a goblin ranger put together in a jiffy.
He's a ranged offensive caster / rogue type, but I can rebuild him slightly for either melee or healing and summoning.

Race
Darkvision:Goblins see perfectly in the dark up to 60 feet.
Fast Movement:Goblins gain a +10 foot bonus to their base speed (this is already added to their Base Speed above.)
Size:Goblins are Small creatures and thus gain a +1 size bonus to their AC, a +1 size bonus on attack rolls, a –1 penalty to their CMB and CMD, and a +4 size bonus on Stealth checks.
Ability Score Racial Traits:Goblins are fast, but weak and unpleasant to be around. They gain +4 Dexterity, –2 Strength, and –2 Charisma.
Languages: Goblins begin play speaking Goblin.
Weapon Familiarity: Goblins’ traditional weapons are the dogslicer and the horsechopper, weapons designed specifically to bring down their most hated foes. Goblins with this trait are proficient with the dogslicer and the horsechopper, and treat any weapon with the word “goblin” in it as martial weapons. This racial trait replaces skilled.
Class
Forbidden Knowledge (Ex)
An Elder Mythos cultist gains a +2 profane bonus on all Knowledge (arcana), Knowledge (dungeoneering), Knowledge (history), Knowledge (planes), and Knowledge (religion) checks, and can attempt these checks untrained. This bonus doubles if the check is related to the Elder Mythos.
Unhinged Mind (Ex)
Bartering sanity for unspeakable knowledge, an Elder Mythos cultist props up his crumbling sanity with a darkly enigmatic personality. An Elder Mythos cultist uses Charisma instead of Wisdom as his key spellcasting ability score (to determine his spell DCs, bonus spells per day, bonus on concentration checks, and so on), to determine the effects and number of uses of his domain powers, and to modify his Will saving throws.
However, because of the fragile state of his mind, the Elder Mythos cultist takes a –2 penalty on Will saves to resist mind-affecting effects. An Elder Mythos cultist automatically fails any save to resist the effects of confusion, insanity, and nightmare, and other similar effects so long as the effect’s caster level is higher than his character level.
Channel the Void (Su), (6 uses/day, 1d6, DC14 Fort for half, 30 ft spread)
At 1st level, when an Elder Mythos cultist channels energy, he taps into the unthinkable void between the stars. This is similar to channeling negative energy, but instead of healing undead, this blast of energy harms and devours living beings, corporeal non-skeletal undead, and constructs crafted from flesh (such as flesh golems). This is not negative energy damage; instead, the damage manifests in the form of wounds from supernatural deterioration and rot. A creature that would take damage from this energy can attempt a Fortitude save to halve the damage, rather than a Will save. At 8th level, a creature that both fails the Fortitude save and would be killed or destroyed by this effect is entirely disintegrated, leaving behind only a trace of fine dust. A disintegrated creature’s equipment is unaffected. This ability still counts as channel energy, but it counts as neither positive nor negative energy specifically (for example, the Elder Mythos cultist couldn’t take the Turn Undead or Command Undead feat).
For the purposes of feats that require channel energy but refer to what happens if the character channels positive or negative energy, this ability alters the listed effect for negative energy. For instance, an Elder Mythos cultist could use Channel Smite to damage living or fleshy creatures with his melee attack.
This ability alters channel energy and replaces spontaneous casting.
Domain Void, Subdomain: Dark Tapestry, It Came from Beyond (Su)
Once per day, when you cast a summoning spell, any one creature you summon is more powerful than normal. The creature gains the advanced creature simple template. If you summon more than one creature with a spell, only one of the summoned creatures gains the advanced creature simple template. A summoned creature that gains the advanced creature simple template in this manner appears unnervingly deformed or unnaturally hideous, bringing with it a whiff of the emptiness of the void. This ability works only on spells you cast as a cleric—it does not work on spellcasting abilities gained from any other spellcasting classes you might have.

Biography
Zord was a normal goblin: eating humans whenever he could, eating dogs when it was available, and otherwise digging through the trash of his wealthier neighbors.
Zord ran a little fortune-tellers stand in the corner of the cave. He was terrible at the job, and only a few of his friends would throw copper his way here and there, knowing that he just lied about things anyway. Zord was a pretty dumb, even going by goblin standards, and just barely scraping by.
One night, while mumbling and uttering various profanities in the course of his normal prayers to the goddess Lamashtu, Zord accidently said the precisely correct combinations of gibberish to piece the veil between the prime world and the distant plane of madness where Cthulu, the Great Old One, resided. Zord's soul and mind was immediately lain asunder before the might of the demigod, and Cthulu laughed and laughed to see a pitiful goblin before him.
Cthulu's laugh entered into Zord's brain, and utterly broke him. Cthulu, finding great humor in the whole situation, granted Zord a small bit of power, allowing Zord to channel destructive energy and pull misshapen creatures from the beyond.
Zord is now utterly insane, and incapable of speaking in more than single word sentences. He does like laughing, though. And his channeling of Cthulu's madness is surely something that should be feared.
When Zord summons a creature, or when coming up with some random piece of information from a knowledge check, though, his mind grows sharp, far sharper than he was even before encountering Cthulu. He is able to talk intelligently in these situations, but only to the creatures that he summons, or sometimes to himself. His friends all call him Professor Zord when this happens...
Alright, current submissions.

Zoof ranger (infiltrator, skirmisher) - needs alias and backstory
Grubble Gruuu pyrokineticist - needs alias
something from Kevin O'Rourke 440
If it's alright, I'd prefer not to make an alias unless selected, so I've reorganized the crunch into this placeholder.
@Sapiens - if you don't post with an alias you will be able to delete it. That's why I had others just post a link.
Everything is in the alias.
Well now you've given the whole thing away
"Grubble like heads. Zoof like heads. Grubble come hunt heads with Zoof, many many tasty longshanks heads. Ignore stupid Zord, he not know paper if it bite off his nose and quack in his ear."
I will decide characters this Saturday (the 10th).
"Paper already took all words from head of Zord. That why he so stupid."
Not sure if I'm going to get this character done before heading to work tomorrow. Either way whoever gets in I hope ye have a blast!
I've added your preferred crunch format to my alias.
Sorry I'm a bit late, Paizo was down when I tried earlier.
Selections
Grubble Gru
Dogdog
Professor Zord
Torch the Goblin
You four check into the discussion page and I'll have the first gameplay post up today or tomorrow.
Sorry to those who I didn't select I enjoyed all of the characters very much. Good luck.
Thanks for consideration, have fun everyone.
