Crappy wording cause many people headache. That's why Goblin burn letters!
Paizo devs is like Goblins. They don't like words only flashy images from cool movies. Much better than stinkin words and technical writing bleah...

Sznek is level 5 Urban Natural weapon Barbarian, look here for ideas. Natural weapons is nice for Barbarian and very nice for Goblin because amulet of agile mighty fists is nice and cheap.
Ahh smart GM thinking of his babies he is, closing submission once Sznek come to town always good idea! Sznek fluff now updated, but not his crunchiness. I get my whip and tell longshank now to do it or I eat his babies tonight at 3 AM GMT.
Sznek mighty warrior love to join. Sznek mighty warrior is level 5 with 15 point buy here. Longshank will look and make Sznek all crunchy for you. Then Longshank change background to licktoad. Then you say Sznek is mighty warrior of licktoad and must join caravan if not... Remember one day Sznek will be chief of Licktoad tribe. So if you not pick him for game goblins will come to your house and eat your children! Last GM stopped posting to game after two weeks. He tasted good! Be warned!
I've given up on the game tbh. Such long stints of inactivity so early in the game tend to bode ill for the future.
Ahh! Sznek hungry. Sznek learn of God of Dragons that tribes follow now! Is folish Goblins no dragons. But stinking Kobolds are! You have something to do with this little one? Sznek enquires of Kibbernest with a mean look and hungry eyes.
Sznek nods to the blue skinned Goblin and with major concern takes his leave to return to the tavern.
Sznek truly fearsome Goblin barbarian and only 15 Pt buy. Look into profile you see. But Sznek is useless little Goblin without Agile AoMF! Sznek still need helm of mamoth lord to make 4 attacks.
Sznek snorts So you are not part of the new tribe? Not follower of the new god?
Sznek looks to wildheart and it's mere presence takes a bit of bluster from his stride. Clearly he did not find anticipate the blue skinned one to be more than a feeble city goblin so he has to readjust to the sitauation. "Ahh you with big army? Is mountain goat tribe with big army?"
Yorick make Yorick better! Then Yorick play with Sznek okay?
Sznek puts on his meanest face as he eyes the stinky little city goblin. He strides forward in her direction purposefully all buster and begins to insult her in their native tongue as it is custom to treat a subordinate goblin. You trash collector come here. Mighty warrior Sznek must speak with you. But not too close Sznek not like smell of despicable trash eaters!
Sznek rumages around in the back alleyways of Skelt searching out the local Goblins as a source of information.
Yorick! Any chance there's any city goblins left in Skelt?
Sznek's eyes widen at the sight of the strung up Goblin. He however has no intention to stay at the Inn and instead sneaks away and looks around whether he can find any of city goblins.
I'll leave that decision up to you... I'll have to figure out a new 5th level feat in the meantime. My default choice would be iron will but there might be something I forgot.
Well this is also an issue of game balance and as you had concerns over that Yorick I wanted to hear you out... With the current party makeup Sznek is the only real tank so it prolly won't hurt the rest of the party if he handles business efficiently. But judging from the last encounter it seemed like he might be a bit too efficient with 4 attacks.
I'd been reading a lot about natural attacks in the Advice forum. Those discussions were older than the FAQ which is why I missed it. D20PFSRD didn't help either...
Okay looks like Sznek will have to save up for a Helm of the Mammoth Lord... I'll likely replace the fiend totem with reckless Abandon which leaves my 5th level feat open. I'll have to ponder this for a bit as there are no obvious choices here... most likely Iron will or additional traits. My other alternative would be to rebuild Sznek slightly and make him a ranger 2/barb 3 this would add a bit more flexibility and allow me to maintain 4 natural attacks. Any word from your part Yorick?
S!@*e... had googled that all over but not found anything, I'll have to make some changes to Sznek then. But no Sznek does not have fast movement due to being an urban barbarian... Riding a hippogriff would prolly be alright...
Sznek looks at Sorana a bit disappointed that she has not taken his offer of bedding the hero but forgiving her for now. Where be Goblin Scout? Sznek must see if Mountain goat! Sznek talk nice to Goblin learn much about Goblin army!
Golarion Goblins hate nothing more than horses...
Sznek looks the stammering human over questioningly. Then he holds up a chain of hobgoblin ears all of them still dripping of blood and grins wickedly. Sznek kill stinkface hobgoblins! Longshank say you give gold to Sznek and say thank you! Sznek say you kiss feet and she give Sznek big kiss!
Okay if it's aimed at going so long we need a mechanism of loot distribution. What I like about the system your proposed is that it increases peoples incentive to sell off magic items they don't really need. However I'd prefer we exclude expendables from the list of goods that take out of the party coffers however. Say we find a scroll of greater invisibility. I don't think it would be fair to charge the spellcaster for claiming it as ultimately once used someone else will likely benefit most from it... But I also agree buying a wand of Fireballs is a good example of burning money.
With the corpses dealt with Sznek lets the human heal some of his hurt and joins the group on their way to Skelt. As everyone has assembled he inquires with his odd high pitched voice. Why Gnome, Kobold, flying Hippo and two Longshank go to Skelt? There Circus in Skelt and they your pets?
Expendables are far more important for casters as they add to characters flexibility, especially wands and scrolls. As a Ranger you could also greatly benefit from Wands and scrolls (or are you running with Skirmisher?). That being said I'm not overly keen on keeping tabs on loot as this is essentially only a one shot adventure. If we come across major items we will have to decide who benefits most from it and that char gets it. Oftentimes this will be fairly obvious and on other occasions it will require a bit of discussion.
Little dragon help fMountain goat? The goblin replies to the Kobold. Good then Sznek burn s$@#faces for you! Bu then quick go to city. Sznek find stinky city goblins and ask for mountain goat and for Kokur Zul!
No! You s!$%face go back to leader. Tell leader that Sznek is back and the mountain goat is own free clan! If leader not give back clan Sznek come and eat smart leaders brains for breakfast! With that the goblin warrior turns on his heels and looks at the gnome and kobold. In broken common he shouts at them: What you look at? You want Sznek to eat you?
Sznek looks grimly at the hobgoblin, then loks to the Gnome girl and back to the hobgoblin. As she shouts some gibberish in the common Tongue Sznek remarks. See she hungry! Tell Sznek why are tribes gone why are they one? The small creature then licks some hobgoblin gore from his pointy finger nails to emphazise a cetain point even though it tastes disgusting...
Sznek slows his pace a bit and breaths heavily as he closes with the Hobgoblin archer. He does not care overly much about the humans Kobolds and Gnomes as what this maggot infested worm brain might have to say. Shouting out in the goblin Tongue he squueks at the hobgoblin who most likely finds it odd to be hearing such harsh words from a Goblin a fact Sznek enjoys all the more. Good you smart for a son of cowdung. I am Sznek mighty warrior of the Mountain goat tribe, slayer of Orcs, Ogres, Dragons and Hobgoblins! You I call s%#*face because you ugly! Now s~$$face you tell me where you and your stinking friends go to and tell me if you know anything about Mountain Goats. If I like what you tell me and I know you not lying then you can go back to other ugly s#@*faces and tell them about Sznek the mighty Goblin warrior! If you lie to me I tear you to pieces and feed you to that one! Sznek turns and points at the gnome, assured that being eaten by such an odd and weakish creature would be a great blow to the Hobgoblins pride.
Seeing a hobgoblin hobling away(harr harr) Sznek is right on his heels cursing the creature i their native tongue as he runs... You stay here or Sznek rip your heart out! If you stay and speak with Sznek he let your run back to your coward tribe to eat cow dung with your mother! You want Sznek to break you into pieces like your stinking friends!
Sznek has tasted blood and wants more but he finds no foes nearby. seeing the Gnome fall to it's death he bounds forward and rams into the Hobgoblin that cut her down mountain goat style! Mechanics: Sznek sees Shishka getting killed so he'll move to attack the hobgoblin attacking her. So my action will be move and a single natural attack, which should be made with the horns using reckless abandon/rage and piranha strike. Gore damage
Sznek rushes forward with bloodshot eyes diving into the mass of Hobgoblins with rechless abandon, hacking and slashing at his foes left and right and going through the large beasts like a hot knife through butter! claw 1 dmg
Sznek struggles under the evil magics and struggles to overcome the power of hobgoblin Cleric.
Sznek rips the Hobgoblin warrior to shreds with his bare hands... actually he'd like to keep some alive for questioning but there were so many left he could kill a few of the ugly monsters that called themselves goblins first and then worry about the details later.
Claw 1 Damage
Sznek should be mowing through them pretty handily now that I remembered Piranha Strike... anyways I prefer a challenge way more than a 3 round slaughter of any encounter.
Bleeding and faced up with two larger opponents the proud warrior of the mountain goat keeps his calm and lashes out with a series of lightning fast strikes, bites and and head buts at the opposition.
Sznek watches the battle unfolding before him and while he has learned to keep away when the big ones fight his massive disdain for Hobgoblin kind takes the better of him. Cursing the hobgoblins in their native tongue the small warrior rushes forward and pounces the nearer of the Hobgoblins. Sons of Cow dung now you will feel the bite of the mountain goat! Claw 1 Damage
and besides Sznek is sooo cute and cuddly wuddly. and i can love him, and hug him and squeeze him... Romancing the gnome?
Not sure whether Sznek would actually want to get involved on the PC side of thing here normally. I mean I kind of have to for this to come together just can't really come up with a good IC reason why he should...
Sznek does not trust Hobgoblins one bit. The Mountain goat have never liked them. Sometimes they came around to bully, say the chiefs of the mountain goat. Sznek wonders if they might have something to do with his clans disappearance and follows the silently as a goblin... stealth
Hobgoblins... dispicable maggots!
Did Sznek's equipment. Why are you killing poor hapless goblins?
Rummaging all on his lonesome through the Mindspin Mountains Sznek's thoughts had been racing for days on end now. Where can Mountain goat go? Mountain goat all die? Mountain goat weakened when best warriors go astray? Or Mountain goat now strong or cowards hiding in caves like longbeards? Sznek had never thought highly of humans. He liked them but more for the symbolic value. A goblin with longshank friends was a strong goblin. But he prefered to mingle with his own kind. Luckily there were a few, well not his own kind... dirty, cowardly city Goblins living in Skelt. The mountain goat had traded with them, they brought shiny treasures of humanity and took rocks and such, they were dumb. But Sznek would find them and ask them when last they had seen mountain goat. Now climbing over a small ridge he could already see the town down in the valley and as it was getting dark and cold he would hurry himself.
Sznek report for duty. Longshank busy smoking stinky green so he not let Sznek on the internet... silly Longshank!
Sznek sooo excited!
Longshank say Sznek maybe have less Dex because Sznek need more INTE.. Intelie... Sznek not like smart... Sznek like fast. Longshank be evil Munchkin say less Dex more Con more Int... maybe Sznek like more constitution too. Say less Dex Sznek wear armor have better AC. Mountain goat no like armor only when big war! But Sznek like GAME MASTER! GAME MASTER like Sznek! Sznek do what GAME MASTER say because GAME MASTER be smart and Sznek not want to break GAME MASTER toy. But not take Sznek Amulet of Mighty fist, was present from Gorum. Then Sznek useless stinky little Goblin that run and hide.
Sznek like when Longshank like Sznek. Longshank smart. But Longshank not care if Sznek be in Kaer Maga or Minespin Mountains? Now Sznek be all crunchy. Maybe Sznek get other feat at level 5. Deadly aim make Sznek switch hitter Reckless abandon make Sznek hit always and Sznek hit strong. Longshank think scout should be good with bow, Sznek not so sure.
Sznek will stop Red Hand of Doom! Sznek mighty warrior of mountain goat Clan! All fear Sznek! You longshank take letters in Sznek profile and see if you not choose Sznek you make Goblin children sad! Goblin children grow up angry Goblins and come to you at night and eat you alive! Sznek not know if after being king of Arena in Kaer Maga he go back to Mountain goat and protect them from invaders or he be in KAer Maga and protect puny longshanks from invaders. You be GAME MASTER. You know how your game work. You say Sznek what Sznek do for better story for little Goblins. Story very important for little Goblins. If you don't tell little Goblins story of big hero they become evil Goblins and eat longshanks at night! Meanwhile longshank look in books with letters and numbers and make Sznek strong and crunchy! You laugh and say Goblin Barbarian not strong? Wait till you see Sznek in action! |
