Now, has anyone seen racial classes or anything else goblin-specific? Looking to offer more options for a goblin henchman/tag-along our high level group suddenly acquired .

Hi!

Look into the Races of Stone (p. 124) for the Stonedeath Assassin PrC.
Requirements: Creature Type: Goblinoid subtype.
... or try the Bloodhound PrC from Complete Adventurer (p. 28).
... or read the Dragon Magazine 325 (p. 81, Bowman Charger PrC) and read the article's end: Goblin Wolflords.
... or let it become a Disciple of Mammon (Book of Vile Darkness, p. 60). [Remember that Monte Cook wrote in 2002 that the BAB is correct.]

Maybe one day it stumbles upon a Staff of the Goblin Lord [confusion, pr. fr. law, unholy blight] from the Arms and Equipment Guide, p. 128.

Even if it is about Hobgoblins, maybe the Web Enhancement to the MM1 (Hobgoblin Outpost) is of help.

Enjoy

Dragon Mag 309 has Hobgoblins (don't know it it's what you want):

+2 Dex, +2 Con
Darkvision
+4 to Move Silently

LA: +1

Favored Class: Fighter

I'd recommend Cromagh's Guide to Goblinoids, by JD Wiker, published by the Game Mechanics. It's about 40 pages with some fun, flavourful ideas and was a cheap download pdf. Deals with gobs, hob gobs and bugbears, with PrCs for each.

The goblins have a Trapsmith (which is a bit too koboldish for my taste) and the scrimshander, a spellcaster using bones for scrolls. Very cool, and (from what I can tell) quite balanced.

Have fun.

Here is a goblin-a-day thread.

Our current goblin PC is a druid / rogue, and carries around a pouch of chewing dung. (Played by my eldest daughter).

We also had a brutal goblin fighter / rogue as a cohort once, who used two punch-daggers as weapons, and dished out HUGE sneak attack damage every now and then.
