I just find it strange that the description for the vigilante has the secret identity so he can hob nob with nobility yet there is no knowledge nobility as a class skill.

I am looking to set up a game to GM and one of my players absolutely wants to play a goblin. Before he picked goblin I looked into maybe running Rise of the Runelords but the early campaign is so completely anti-goblin, and after getting advice on another thread, I definitely decided there isn't really any good way to shoehorn a goblin into that AP. I'm still a bit a of a newer GM, so I'm looking if there is something that would be a complete campaign with a lot of lore for me to build on and also allow for a odd or unusual set of PCs or at least take place away from intrigue of large cities or towns that would harbor a large number of monster haters. I've played the "We Be Goblins" scenario and I'm familiar with that but the other players don't also want to be goblins, just the one player, and those scenarios just seem to be intros. Also not really looking to run an evil campaign - the goblin character would be neutral or even unusual in being chaotic good. A neutral campaign would work fine. Any idea?
Hello All, I'm a newer GM embarking on a RotR campaign. I picked it as a newer GM because of the huge amount of lore and support material to draw on. However my players have thrown me a curve with one player absolutely wanting to to be a chaotic good goblin firebomber alchemist (without knowing much about the story). To make it more intriguing a second player is a full orc barbarian. The other two characters filling out the party are fairly standard with an elf rogue and an aasimar cleric. Somehow I don't think Sandpoint will take as easily to a goblin defending them from other goblins, but I've decided to accept the challenge. There seems to be a lot of possibilities for intrigue with other goblins and racial discrimination tension etc. And it seems an extra possibility for a side quest for the players to prove themselves as heroes to the city. A certain popular set of stories about a Drow hero comes to mind as well as the discrimination he encountered. I warned the goblin character that he would likely face quite a lot of discrimination due to his racial choice, likewise for the orc but less so since she's a lot more intimidating. One part I'm not sure how to deal with is
story spoiler:
The "Monster in the Closet" sub quest. I would certainly like to include it but having a women come to a goblin hero to save her when a goblin just tried to eat her son seems odd --although I guess if she is desperate enough. . . In the initial encounter I would also think the son, if he is there, would completely lose it seeing a goblin after one just was chomping on him. Just wondering if anyone encountered similar situations or maybe a had some suggestions or possible places to look to incorporate local goblin culture etc. into the story. |
