These are some sample Goblins from the various castes. While their templating ability makes it impossible to sample out every type of Goblin, I will be statting out some basic Goblins from each class, then some from a little higher and also a couple of specialized Goblins. As I'm not entirely sure what I will be doing as of yet, you'll have to wait to see what I do. I will probably just be coming back to this post and editing it for the general Goblins. Any 'special' NPC Goblins will have their own post, however.

Note: These all use the Standard array for stats. [And MAN, creatures are weak using the standard array without any buff bonuses that many creatures have.]

First up is the General Warrior Caste Goblin. Personally, I dislike the Warrior NPC class, so I use Fighter instead. The basic Warrior Caste Goblin is a Fighter 1. While other classed Goblins certainly do exist, Fighter is the most common.

This is the generic Worker Caste Goblin. It is impossible to show all the combinations of Professions and what non-Profession/Craft skills may go along with it. This book: Everyone Else is a good book which could spice up the Goblins a lot. Feel free to switch around Wis for Cha for example, if the Goblin is more into Perform than Profession.

This also goes to show how poor Fighters these Goblins are. They tend to carry around daggers with them because wars tend to be violent, but if the Worker Caste is Fighting, then it's pretty much guaranteed that this Goblin city has fallen and they're simply trying to take down as many of the enemy as possible before they are totally annihilated.

Magician Caste Goblins are actually fairly weak, but their main task is to continue the cycle of creating Goblins. Thus, they tend to not pay much attention to the outside world except for a small few. Those few are more powerful and capable than the other Magicians, but as defenders of their people, they need to be. Unfortunately, they are also fewer in number.
