And they were correct. :)
Gip actually look forward to showing long shanks there hypocrisy.
I doubt that the PF goblin phenomenon will come even close. And I'm sure we'll be seeing some clever "reasons" put forward very, very soon, for the gobbos to become "all that they can be."Debatible. Though with the popularity of "We be Goblins" being a point of arguments by those on the, ugh, pro goblins side(bloody hell there's a term I didn't think I'd have to write, same with anti goblin), I do question how many players old and new will straight up continue to play them as if it was a goblin module/campaign. Gip do that all the time. Only complaint in three years? Gip burned captain's journal and map. Less complaining when Gip take baby ship and work hard to get it hatch and grow. Then Gip go exploring with longshank friends one day. Come back and find monkeys had attacked. Monkey's killed Gip's baby. No monkeys in Core!
No Gip, and Gip mean none, has ever been angsty or seeking redamntion or rebelling against goblins. The first stole a writ and had to keep the horrible thing because it made him safe from townsfolk. (Kingmaker) The second thrived in the Underdark and eventually traveled as CloakerGip. Other was Chelish slave thrown into gladiatorial combat and bought after a surprising victory by a nice old man. (Carrion Crown) Gip and friend Urf also tried to steal ship and be pirates. Didn't work. (Serpent's Skull) Finally, there is Gip who went full Meowth and became a 'gentlegoblin adventurer' out of desire to win the heart of his beloved Lady of Flame(an Ifrit Fire Oracle). He find manners book and look at pictures, he find most gentlemanly of weapons(Morningstar) and set out to win her heart. Even Gip's cousin Poog(no relation to other Poog) was a Paladin because he got the call and completely misunderstood what it meant when his deity's areas of concern where cowards and runaways.
And Gip know just how to do it! Quickly, to the Hinden-goblin!
Goblins could easily have a Wis penalty instead of Str, bring surprisingly strong for their size due to being wiry little bundles of muscle and pepper. Then make gnomes distinct in a different way by making them fey.I always wondered why Goblins didn't have a Wis or Int penalty considering how crazy and dumb as a stump they're generally presented as. Thinking ovens are a good place to hide. Ovens is good places! Small, like goblins, have shield-doors, and fire! for after you get out and get the longshanks!
We is good hiders
why fear words on the page? BECAUSE EACH LINE OF INK IS YOUR SOUL TORN ASUNDER AND DRIED ON PAPER FOR ANYONE TO TAKE AND DO WHATEVER THEY WANT WITH! You'd think as many times demons and Devils are after souls long shanks would realize they've been tricked....
O CAPTAIN! MY CAPTAIN!
The plan is to address this in the course of play in an upcoming adventure so that it is part of the evolving narrative rather than simply tacked on all of a sudden with no context. Does this mean we don't get to be crazy little pyros anymore? This saddens Gip enough he feels like writing...
Or.... Goblin knights... *runs from thread*
[And honestly, both are ripe for gimmick builds that poke fun at the concept. Gip, gentlegoblin adventurer is pretty much this for me. He's a goblin that used the pictures from a manners book and his own powerful mind to become the best gentleman he could. Which is why he uses a morningstar.
I fully endorse the idea now. Carry on.
I want heartfelt personality reflected in unique builds.... Gip, gentlegoblin adventurer, would like to point out his weapon of choice -Morningstar- is the of weapons. Also, no matter what, you hit Gip he always bounce back to politely kneecap you.
Gip have to point out the most gentlemanly of weapons -the morningstar- am made all the better as a swashbuckler.
Tell Gip more 'bout dragon gland! Space Pirate Captain Gip wants to know if it is a breath weapon that is actually useful at all levels!
GOBLINS.... IN... SPAAAAACE!
Is good name, not as good as Gip, but is good!
Gip resolve to make it through a game with lots of not dying and not getting replaced. Also resolve to save more souls by destroying more books, but Gip think that a given. ;)
If only I could be a Patron Deity. That would be so very awesome.
*begins burning everything while making arguments for crazy ideas with an insane amount of insane clarity and sense*
All the fire!
Finally, why go with goblins when there are monkey goblins? They certainly seem more alien. Because Monkey Goblins was made when.. well.. Gip just not think goblin cousins should marry. No one could read family tree and we burned it cause it had writing and we needed to be releasing souls. >.>
Goblins. Goblins should be Core.
No idea. Withholding real judgement until I see if it's full of crud or not. Like goblins not being core.
Gip knew there more reasons not like PFS....
I want space goblins as core. Gip, Mighteist of Space Pirates™, endorses this choice!
*raises hand* Gip, Mighteist of Space Pirates™, asks that Goblins be a Core Race.
You is saying goblins not able colonize...? Find your planet first now, yes... Gip, Mighteist Space Pirate, will colonize soon....
You poor goblin! Gip, Mightiest of Space Pirates, will get you a new hat. AND THEN HELP BURN GALAXY! BWAHAHAHA!
INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW!
Gip is done except for the rest of his equipment. Feel free to take a look. :)
That's actually even better. Though I must decide if he emulates their falcata users(it's a nice archetype) or goes Daring Champion with the "most gentlemanly weapon".
In the interest of showing just how well Taldor is civilized, perhaps a goblin swashbuckler could be a sort of non-official mascot for the nation? After all, anyone can have a human that's civilized, but who could say the same for a goblin?
As the others leave, Gip finishes his 'reading' for therapy and heads off to prove himself as well, sneaking into the forest and looking for something to hunt. As luck would have it he came upon a weird hole in the ground and laid a trap, a bit of meat from the feast, before moving back to wait.
"Gip gonna look at more burny pictures and eat slugs." Gip replies, brushing the yucky vegetables off his food. "Unless Gip's mighty magic is needed for burning more horse snakes or bird dogs! Bird dogs iz terrible."
"Gip never have to eatzes couzins in cage again!" The tiny goblin declares in awe before running for the food, tumbling head or heel, and landing with his face on a slug. Never one to pass up food though, he started eating it like that. "Iz covered in crunchy burnt slime! Youz has to try!" He yells to the others enthusiastically.
"More eats for Bitey and Gip!" The book toting goblin replies. "Gip can cooks it now with lots fire!"
I got sick Saturday and Sunday, and my wifi went out Sunday as well.
"Gip is mighty sorcerer!" The young goblin proclaims as he hurries back down into the tunnels, waddling back and forth under the weight of his wonderful picture book.
Really? Wow, those dogs and horses are in for it now!
Unaware of his fellow goblins' fight, Gip blissful looks at all the pretty pictures in his book, loving the paintings of fire the most but not afraid to add to them at all, slowly imagining it all and filling his head with ways to do it himself. Spellbook:
Lv0(DC 12): All
Lv1(DC 13): Burning Hands, Ear-Piercing Scream, Grease, Mudball, Snap Dragon Fureworks
I know, sorry for the delay. Again. New Years and a late Saturday screwed me up a bit.
Gip gasps and runs outside, holding the book in the light so he can see it better. "All the pretty burning colors! No soul taking writey bits! Is old book from Gip's sorcerer for sure!" He proclaims happily, spinning. "Must be the Burnaning Book!"
"Gip hear longshanks try get out of being spitted by say 'you are what you eat' so I think Bitey must be flying horse poop!" Gip says confidantly. He grabs his hitty sticks and pokes Bitey carefully. "Show Gip how fly!"
If Gip can find a good picture book and some paints, berries, etc, I'll take spellcasting.
Spellcasting and arcane bond can't really be picked. No spellbook, and Spell Sage replaces arcane bond. Eyes it is.
