Cat Piss Man -- the Goblin Hero?

So do we all remember Cat Piss Man? (The Wrath of Cat Piss Man - Role-Playing Free for All - Role-Playing Discussion Forums - Midnight's Lair - Message Board)

I have seen discussions around the net about the strange varieties of this great social caste. What if Catpissman was translated into the actual game? :devil:


-------
Kot mača – translated from Goblin as Catpissman. "Catpissman" is a special social caste ("...noble") within Goblin culture, that few well understand. The catpissmen are readers of hidden codes, and are smelly, deviant recluses and hermits that stay on the fringes of the tribe. These men are consulted (unenthusiastically) by the goblin kings in times of great need, as many catpissmen are enigmatic adepts of gastromancy, dice-mongering, and other forms of strange divination. Catpissmen, true to their reputation, also collect and sometimes eat mangy cats.

Catpissmen often collect children’s toys and keep obtuse and often trivial lore to obsessive degrees. Catpissmen are also unique amongst goblinkind for their strange fascination with the females of their traditional enemies: humans, elves, and eladrin. Catpissmen are sometimes willing to treat with adventuring parties in return for certain esoteric goods and services.

I was partly inspired for the Catpissman Dicemonger based on "The Secret Moblin" from episode 205 of the "Legend of Neil:"

Yes I chose a 4e stat build, but I think this could be general to any system. Some of the elements of this post were drawn from other posters from a library of catpissman discussions.

Dr. Patricia Cromwell: His name's Mimi-Siku. Roughly translated, it means "cat pee".
Michael Cromwell: He *chose* the name "cat pee"?
Dr. Patricia Cromwell: He was six years old at the time! Its a territorial thing.

I don't know the reference.

I'm sad my catpissman thread didn't make much waves. As with the real catpissman, everyone wants to ignore and move along.
