Hobos of Golarion


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion


Hobgoblins. Not the wandering homeless. Is there an official take on them yet? Is there going to be some special Golarion angle on them like there was with goblins or are they just going to be the standard hobgoblins?

There is. They get a chapter in Classic Monsters Revisited.


James, do we also get a chapter on the wandering homeless too? ~wicked smile~ Or are they a core class now? ~thinks on how to do a 20 level plus epic write up for Hobos, not hobgoblins~

They can't write a chapter on

1) Dragonborn in campaigns that stay 3.5

or

2) Bards,Druids,Gnomes, and Barbarians in campaigns that switch to 4.0

Until after they decide what ruleset they are using.

It's already been done. They're called bards.

Crap! I thought this was a thread about vagrants. Nevermind.

Damn it, Mike, that's exactly the joke I was planning to make when I saw this thread's title.

I was honestly sad to click on this thread and not see posts dedicated to tying a proper bindle, frazzled men with at least five teeth missing giving advice on good places to camp along one’s path or which leaves not to wipe with.

Makes me pine for harmonicas and the peaceful rocking of a freight train.

Spoiler:
Are there hobos in Eberron?


You betcha! : they're called Cyrans.

I know this post was in Jest, but Dragonborn actually originated in 3.5. They appear in the "Races of the Dragon" Sourcebook, along with info on Spellscales (also new) Kobolds and Half-Dragons.

EDIT: and I meant to actually post something about Hobgoblins, but forgot ...

I like Hobgoblins and hope they get good treatment in Golarion. I wasn't so impressed by the picture of Malgrim Hurkes in Hangman's Noose (sorry guys). Is that grey skinned look how all of Golarion's Hobgoblins are going to appear?

The main question though is: are Golarion's Hobgoblins going to be a "playably accepted" race in the Setting (as they are in Eberron), or are they going to be the more traditional "monsters"?

Query

What would one call a homeless hobgoblin who happens
to like the same sex?

I believe he was referring to the fact that Dragonborn, to the best of my knowledge, are not OGL in 3.5, but are a 'core race' in 4e.

See, I've always abbreviated hobgoblin as "hobbo". Short O-sound. Reduces confusion, which is apparently a necessity.

Ever since that cleft-palated hobgoblin showed up in D0, I've been interested in the Golarionization of them.

Yes. Weirdly enough, I was walking by his desk right as he hung up the phone with you, so I got the message mere seconds after you gave it to him. :)

~grins~ That is what Cosmo told me, since I called back about 5 minutes later. He said you had your "meeting" face on. ~innocent look~
