Goblin as a playable race


Pathfinder Society

Grand Lodge

How to I get the goblin as a playable race? I found something that says I need a sheet that opens it up as a playable race....how do I get that?

If you're asking about for Pathfinder Society, you would need a Goblin Race Boon.

There are no more left, and no plans to ever release more of them.


I heard PFS is pretty much never going to ever let a player play anther goblin again. Take a Halfling, give him the fast trait, give him a name like Boogerface, and roleplay him like you want.

When I found out there were no more Goblins I traded for a Wayang Boon, and gave him the credit from We Be Goblins! parts I & II.

Size small, definitely creepy, and with a +20 to Bluff at level 8 most people believe him when he says he's a Goblin =D.

I wish there was a Hobgoblin boon.


And if you're not playing PFS just look here.

yeah....no I wanted a goblin for PFS. My alternative is the Gnome with a few racial traits, depending on if they are allowed. Im still reading all the resources and what not.

I'm still wanting a Grippli boon, myself.

Its unfortunate because I love the look and style of their appearance, I love their background, and there are even some racial feats that are just soooo delicious.....but without being a goblin there is no way of getting that.

Is there a list of which races need a boon?

Grand Lodge

never mind just found the answer


I heard from Mike at Coast Con in early march that there are still 2 goblin boons unclaimed(applied to character). I believe he said they are being held by someone in Seattle and someone in Australia. He also said that they will never be released again.

I imagine goblins are only fun for the person that has them - they pretty much would destroy any PFS table out there. Think of the most disruptive player you've ever seen, and then imagine that they had an official piece of paper from Paizo that allowed them to behave that way. Yes, I know, "don't be a jerk" still applies. I for one am glad we will never see them again.

(Whenever I feel the need for some goblin love, I just GM "Frostfur Captives" again...)
