I like my Goblin Artillerist. I made her simply to be that one "Chaos" character that simply revels in the destruction she causes. She's not bad, she just gets a little bit TOO excited in a fight! She can be quite nice outside of combat... Although she may also not be against destruction for the sake of progress... (Why wall stop us? Why not use Bomb? Now Wall is Wide Open Door!)
I have a L/E goblin wizard named Grizwold. He grew up in a orphanage/magical garment sweatshop. While being raised/exploited by Maude Modtiste, the cruel headmistress at the orphanage, he found out that his entire tribe had been skinned for making fashionable footwear. He stole a few pages from the headmistress' spell book and murdered a few guards and some of his fellow orphans and escaped into the mean streets of the city. He has an insatiable appetite for pickles, his only treat at the sweatshop and would like to pickle himself using powerful transmutation magic to attain lichdom via the pickling arts so that he can gain unlimited power to return to the orphanage and burn it to the ground. During his adventuring career, he discovered a pair of sentient boots that is inhabited by the spirit of his real mom. He's a favorite at a lot of the tables I play with. Grizwold the picklelich.
I ran a game for 2 players who wanted to play as a goblin rogue with pink skin and her best buddy a worg. (It was heavily homebrewed but we made it work.) Their first adventure ended with them gaining a small tower from dwarf were-rats. With the help of an ogre they built a fort around the tower. The rest of the campaign they went through published adventures recruiting other goblins from the adventure instead of slaying them. I made a goblin brew master as an NPC that made alcoholic beverages like goblin raspberry mead made from wild raspberries and honey. Also centipede venom spirits made from venom milked from giant centipedes and mixed with whiskey. They founded a town around the tower call Goblin Falls because it was next to a waterfall. They began trading goblin brewed alcoholic beverages to the surrounding towns before retirement of their characters. This was one of my favorite campaigns to run.
Omg, I LOVE this concept so much! Also I love how much you leaned into their interests, this sounds like such a fun game to play in! (PS - I'm absolutely coopting your goblin brew master NPC for future feywild campaigns 😂 the centipede venom kills me!)
There's a Goblin Monk in my current campaign. She's as old as a Goblin can get and that experience, in combo with her high Monk WIS, allows her player to lean on his strong understanding of game and story beats, and embrace chaotic problem solving. It's very fun.
Thats adorable 😂 Also I LOVE that you used the term “chaotic problem solving” - I think some people think of chaos as something inherently bad and counterproductive but it doesn’t have to be! It sounds like that player’s goblin monk has it down!
I have two goblins. Cogz Sprokkit, the typical mad scientist artificer who doesn’t know how half his inventions function. And Zib-Jib Ingwinson, a life-domain cleric who was raised by a dwarf. He’s the complete inverse, shy, reserved, and utterly selfless. He’s fully prepared to sacrifice himself for his friends even if it terrifies him.
I like how you opened this video with a scene full of Goblins from the Labrynth. I usually try to make my Gobbos look more like them, or the usual bitey, gnarled toothed Gobbo... But I am not entirely against those weirdly cute ones, seeing them as Half Goblin, or pure Fairy Goblin explaining why they don't look as "Evil Gremlin" as their default depictions.
The Labyrinth is definitely an all time favorite for me! And I even think bitey ugly Gobs are still adorable 😂 I just can't help it, they're my favorite.
I run an OSR game. My players are facing off against a goblin version of Dr Doom! He was the lowest of the low but was the only survivor of a raid against a human keep. Left alone with the spoils of war he found 2 game-changing items, a band of Intellect and Gauntlets of Ogre Power. He now lives in the remains of the wizard's library using his new power to influence the area goblins from the shadows.
Oh my gosh, I love this, Dr. Doom is such a great character to base a goblin off of! You’re truly highlighting the resilience of my favorite little buddies 😂 I love their will to survive and thrive!
Im currently working on a goblin ranger named Fuglietta or Fugs whose companion is a giant toad. She loves all things swamp- cuz swamp has that good stink only swamps have, and all the good bones and mosses, mushrooms and mud- things dies out there and leave good shinies behind. Shes looking for her treasures (which she mostly uses to decorate her hair) and finds a small toad. Thinking its cute- she decides it would make a very fine hat- and plonks it on her head. At some point when i get to the right level, the toad will grow up large enough that Fugs can ride it like a mount.
Been seeing your videos popping up in my feed. Finally got a chance to watch one of your videos and you have great ideas and creativity along with a cheery spirit! Looking forward to more videos for experienced players/DMs and build ideas!
As for trickery domain cleric - a goblin might not have to ask Maglubiyet for permission as long as the lost god exists. I think in my next campaign I will play the cleric of Nilbog the trickster - or, may be, flavour it as some sort of warlock - but I don't know what warlock patron might a dead god seeking resurrection be. Also, this might be two goblins in a trenchcoat.
In my world Goblins get the WoW and Pathfinder treatment. They are actually shrewd Merchants and Crafters. But... they also get to treat all falls as 10ft shorter, and take that damage as Non- lethal. * So here is this clan of shrewd chaos engines who are almost completely unafraid of heights. *Gygax fall rules make this worth it.
@StephaniePlaysGames It is really funny describing goblins just leaping off building during s raid. But they have no coordination so sometimes they land and pass out, others start eating, good times. Oh and they end up collecting warthog, which is what you really got worry about. Because pig knows that green friend give food.
I have a build for a goblin college of swords bard who is a circus acrobat and knife throwing expert. The circus saved him and gave him a home, but then he was separated from them in a bandit raid; and now he travels to find his family again. Having grown up in a circus his chaotic nature is more in line with that of the average carny and he lives by the age old adage, 'There's one born every minute' and is always looking for a new mark.
Love your shout outs. My kiddo got me hooked on that "She-Ra" series and you're right it was extremely well-written, and Catra made me nuts the entire time, especially since I could feel for her bad choices due to internal conflict.
Just started playing a Zealot Barbarian Goblin. The idea of a Goblin who is so hellbent on not going down and causing mischief on the battlefield is just great fun
i 100% agree that the simplicity and naivety of goblins allows for some of the best character concepts. starting as a relatively blank slate in a world full of zealous or manipulative factions allows the character to effortlessly roll with whatever roleplay the setting throws at it and to support other characters in whatever development is at hand.
I kind of love the idea of an otherbreaker paladin who broke his or her oath by being a coward. I've also played a very fun little gobo before who was a wizard in a low level campaign who was the apprentice to that evil wizard living out in the swamp who had a tribe of goblins as minions. The hilarious part was that the goblin tribe fricking loved this evil wizard because he didn't go around killing them all constantly and while he forced them to do agriculture and then sold 90% of the food they grew to a nearby settlement he still let the tribe keep something like 8% of the food they grew which meant they ate better then they had in generations... that's right he was as bad or worse than most of the evil nobles that lead to peasant uprisings for hero's to help fight in, and the goblins practically deified this man for being such a less bad boss than they had had in generations beyond counting which forced them to come up with a new word for boss because nothing in there language was so benevolent.
Yesss I love the connection of goblins as wizard’s minions and I feel like this is exactly the type of story that can make that hard swing from hilarious to absolutely heartbreaking!
I currently playing a goblin Artificer Alchemist with a Stixhaven Background with a cooking proficiency called Stew the Shaman. Uses a Wooden spoon as a arcane spoon as a enhanced arcane focus and reflavored club to a +1 fry pan. Walk around with pot of stew and fling stew as fire bolt/ acid splash/ healing word etc. and uses green flame blade with fry pan. Uses Pot lid as a +1 Shield also btw and able to cast shield due to background. Fun and flavorful (pun intended) with tool expertise, Magical Tinkering, and Prestidigitation.
Once I played a Goblin Wizard who was a revolutionary, trying to free the other goblins from the submissive roles they play under the goblinoid society! It was pretty fun!
I had a goblin who got summoned by a wizard in combat. The wizard got dropped, and my goblin grabbed his pack and ran away. Inside was a spell book, and that's how I got a goblin wizard
I have a whole Goblin clan most of my characters are from. Even if I don't play a Fire caster, they all Worship fire and Kossuth in some way. Been going 3 years strong and the original character is over 5years old.
my goblin PC started as the classic "puppy" character, good intentions accidentally making chaos for all. DM found his antics so amusing that the goddess Tymora decided she would adopt him as her child. He hasn't taken any cleric or paladin levels yet, but he is now her acolyte, or "appetite", as he calls it.
I am currently playing a middle-aged (30) Aberrant Mind Sorcerer Goblin who escaped from her tribe, was taken in by a band of sorcerers who taught her to control her emerging powers, and then spent the last 10 years in Baldur’s Gate, using her magical and Goblin talents to become an accomplished and respected thief. She was able to buy Gloves of Thievery, so she has fun creating illusions for distraction and picking pockets in town. She once used a combination of Disguise Self, Subtle Prestidigitation, and Subtle Suggestion to convince a minor noble to give her 5000gp! I didn’t want to have the fireball crutch, so she is afraid of fire magic and won’t use it. She focuses on control and illusion spells, which give her a lot of options both in and out of combat. I’m thinking of taking Skill Expert to get expertise in Sleight of Hand, just to further my shenanigans. The deal that she has with the party is that she will never steal or horde loot from the party, and in exchange, she is free to do what she wants when in town.
I made a goblin warlock for an upcoming campaign, whose patron is a genius loci, but his pact is actually just the genius loci's domination. So his only real requirement is to protect the genius loci, and all other details of his pact form over time from his own beliefs.
Also: your thoughts on a druid goblin losing their ward and having a hard time explaining it to their party makes me want to play one how sees themselves as a shepherd who lost their sheep. When asked, explains that it's a dark grey sheep, looks kinda lumpy, the sweetest thing ever, etc... only for the party to eventually find out it's a grey ooze or a black pudding. (bonus points for black pudding being sweet)
These build ideas are great stuff! I want to point you to the Goblin Salvage Rites channel, they are a Pathfinder 2 channel but they put out a system agnostic video of "Rites" for their (homebrew) goblin lore. Major themes surprisingly being about environmentalism and of course "salvage rights" as a way of reprecussions from past goblin damage to the world.
I’m just here to say that I’ve subscribed before you got famous. Great content, like, some of the best dnd advice content that I’ve seen so far is in your channel!
Hell yeah, goblin characters :) I want to make a goblin paladin/cleric dedicated to Nilbog, with the eventual goal of convincing the DM to let me transcend into a nilbog. Trickster cleric/paladin, let's go
All these ideas were awesome and I might have to use them in my game now (especially the reverse oathbreaker paladin idea), but you really sold me on the She-Ra and Adora comparison. Dang, I wish we had more of that show lol
this is my favorite new channel. i look forward to see what it will become. one plea: see if you can improve the audio quality. You're a little hard to hear, and there's a bit of an echo. I wish i could be more helpful, but i am not an engineer :( but i have been loving the content of the videos so far :)
Thank you for the kind words! 😊 It might be because of where I record in our cramped house - I'll see what I can do about it! I'm also no audio engineer but hopefully I can troubleshoot it myself! 😂
I know I am excited to play an arcane trickster goblin who was the only one who survived an encampment destruction by a hasty group of adventures and stumbled upon a blind wizard who she lied to saying she was a halfling and became his student. Would sneak random gifts into the parties packs
My current table has 4 goblins and 2 Aasimar. We look ridiculous 😅. I am a goblin bladesinger, super good. We also have a spores druid, artificer, and a bard. The chaos is indeed high😂
@StephaniePlaysGames haha, one is. He's a paladin, lol. The second one not so much, swashbuckler rogue of the fallen aasimar variety. He's as chaotic as the rest of us!
I actually haven't yet! I'm weird and I sometimes hoard things for when I know I'm going to need background noise and this has been one of them 😂 Luckily I have a few long drives coming up!
My next character is going to be a goblin druid/life cleric who unintentionally swallowed an ancient artifact bearing a last fragment of power of the goddess Kikanuti. My character has zero reverence for this goddess, little knowledge of nature, and is overenthusiastic about using her newfound powers for whatever she feels like doing.
@@StephaniePlaysGames agreed....I can see a feytouched/fey small halfling statblock a-coming up. Apropos of halflings - I borrow from Tolkien to try and make Stouts (his Stoors) more distinctive. In LOTR, Smeagol and Deagol like fishing and hanging out in the river, so I make stouts swimmers unlike their base (Hairfoot) cousins. Also I make their society matriarchal - as in LOTR, Smeagol and Deagols grandmother seems to rule the roost.
The wacky sincerity of a well played goblin spices up the table so well. Maybe for maximally conflicted feelings it should be a goblin-born assimar projecting their own concepts of "goodness" they're supposed to live up to into the mix. Said goodness is just wildly misinformed.
I’m definitely far from an authority, but to the extent of my knowledge their OG ones were not. I think they only got the fey recognition they deserved once Mordenkainen’s Monsters of the Multiverse came out. But again someone with extensive DnD history knowledge might know more about this than me!
You really have a good grasp of what goblins are, and you even are good enough to use Volo's Guide To Monsters lore, but I just don't think goblins make good PCs. A goblin PC would have the exact same issues as people had concern with when the Kender were announced. They're just far too selfish.
What's your favorite class/subclass for Goblins?
I like my Goblin Artillerist. I made her simply to be that one "Chaos" character that simply revels in the destruction she causes. She's not bad, she just gets a little bit TOO excited in a fight! She can be quite nice outside of combat... Although she may also not be against destruction for the sake of progress... (Why wall stop us? Why not use Bomb? Now Wall is Wide Open Door!)
I also made a "Chef" Goblin in Pathfinder. That one is not finished though. And it can definitely eat, virtually anything.
I love this - I definitely think of Goblins as very straightforward problem solvers, they're just doing it a little more destructively than others 😂
Goblin Circle of the Swarm druid! I love the idea of a goblin who fully embraces worms, mud, and filth.
@@anthonywillenborg4129 Okay... I am afraid... But I fully support this idea!

My character has zero reverence for this goddess, little knowledge of nature, and is overenthusiastic about using her newfound powers for whatever she feels like doing.
I love this 😂 She deserves to spend that power on what she wants!
I can't reframe brownies from how I remember them in AD&D - i.e. distant relatives of halflings or perhaps half-halfling half-pixie....
Oooh half-halfling half-pixie would be an interesting take on them! 🤔 With their folklore I think that would be a natural fit!
@@StephaniePlaysGames agreed....I can see a feytouched/fey small halfling statblock a-coming up. Apropos of halflings - I borrow from Tolkien to try and make Stouts (his Stoors) more distinctive. In LOTR, Smeagol and Deagol like fishing and hanging out in the river, so I make stouts swimmers unlike their base (Hairfoot) cousins. Also I make their society matriarchal - as in LOTR, Smeagol and Deagols grandmother seems to rule the roost.
Watch the Gobiln Slayer anime. You'll retract your view on goblins.😂
The wacky sincerity of a well played goblin spices up the table so well.
Maybe for maximally conflicted feelings it should be a goblin-born assimar projecting their own concepts of "goodness" they're supposed to live up to into the mix. Said goodness is just wildly misinformed.
😂 That sounds like something that would be right up my alley
Are baseline 5e D&D goblins also Fey?
I’m definitely far from an authority, but to the extent of my knowledge their OG ones were not. I think they only got the fey recognition they deserved once Mordenkainen’s Monsters of the Multiverse came out. But again someone with extensive DnD history knowledge might know more about this than me!
You really have a good grasp of what goblins are, and you even are good enough to use Volo's Guide To Monsters lore, but I just don't think goblins make good PCs. A goblin PC would have the exact same issues as people had concern with when the Kender were announced. They're just far too selfish.
