So my friend and I are making goblin characters. And we are having a blast. Please note that the other characters will have no idea what we're playing until the game actually starts and our characters are introduced, probably eating something we shouldn't be.
I'm building a goblin rogue and he is building a goblin barbarian. We both worship our made up god, Grumgosh who has a pet kitty named Zurg. The god isn't really in the world, which makes it that much more fun!
The barbarian, Anklebiter, fancies himself a cleric and will run leaping head first (literally) into combat to latch onto people with his bite attack, in Grumgosh's name of course. He'll be constantly eating disgusting things especially dogs because they're unholy, chewing on one of the party member's boots and going into rage for any situation which calls for "panic," i.e. blind, dazzled, confusion, set on fire, not really set on fire but thinks he is, etc. etc. (fairy fire - "I'm on fire! When I'm on fire, I PANIC! When I panic, I RAAAAAAAAAGE!!!" *begins running around attacking without regard for himself*) One of his catch phrases will be, "Cuz Grumgosh wills!"
The rogue, Kneeknocker, will be forever hiding from everyone, cuz he can. He may go into the witch class or summoner or something to get arcane spells and a pet (probably a kitty cuz they're holy). He doesn't use bladed weapons, "Cuz they're sharp and I hurts myself." He will also meow occasionally and get the ventriloquism spell to seem like he's somewhere else. He will dual wield a heavy mace and a light mace and will wait for Anklebiter to grapple before attacking so they will "Let my brover go! GRUMGOSH WILLS IT!". Or he will yell "SNEAK ATTACK!" during the second round when attacking an enemy by himself.
They also constantly fight over who's the better cleric of Grumgosh.
I want to open this up to the community (my DM and player base doesn't read the forums) to help us with other suggestions for roleplaying quirks and all kinds of fun to be had.
I was just thinking of doing a goblin only quest. How do you plan on keeping the rest of the NPCs from killing you
Two-part chants, where the second Goblin answers the call of the first might be a nice way to rally both the PCs and their players.
A: "Grumgosh wills it!"
B: "We go do it!"
Anytime combat ends with an edible enemy yell out "looks like meats back on the menu boys!" and the giggle manically as you eat.
The GM is in on our characters, and he says hes got something in store to prevent us from being killed outright from the NPC's, like we accidentally save the town or something (thats still being worked on). And yeah, Grumgosh is a figment of their imagination.
Grumgosh is kinda an ongoing joke in our group. Long story short, insane orc set on destruction named Grumgosh liked to scream his name in third person...so the group(naturally) has taken to "Grumgosh smash!" or "Grumgosh destroy!"
Also, I think it'll be interesting because one of the normal PC's might have the name of Grumgosh....Anklebiter and Kneeknocker will follow around the physical manifestation of their god whether he likes it or not....
