[QUOTE="ren1999, post: 5911764, member: 85179"] This isn't 4th edition or Pathfinder but rather a hybrid that I would like to see for 5th edition. I'm having difficulty deciding how a whip grapples. Any suggestions? How would you design a hobgoblin. Hobgoblin Slaver hp 12 ac15 fort14(+4) ref11(+1) will11(+1) racial traits/class features/resist dr none Longsword 1d20+4 versus armor class 1d8+4 damage Whip 1d20+1 versus reflex grappled, the character.. ??? 1d0+1 damage Pommel Punch 1d20+4 versus armor class, the character is stunned, if succeed by 5 the character is unconscious for 1d4 rounds 1d0+4 bludgeoning damage str18(+4) con13(+1) dex13(+1) int10(0) wis12(+1) cha8(-1) speed 5 squares 25ft. initiative (+1) perception(+2) race Medium Humanoid class Slaver levels 1 xp 1XP for the entire encounter skills Hide +3, Listen +2, Move Silently +3, Spot +2 feats Alertness alignment Lawful Evil languages Common, Goblin gear/spells: whip, light steel shield, longsword, studded leather armor History: The Hobgoblin is a stronger and taller version of the goblin. They are the antithesis of the elf and kill elves on sight. They enslave humans, dwarves, gnomes, and the like. Historically, goblins are trickster spirits of the home, the sea ship, the woods and the mines. They are benevolent to those that earn their favor and have been known to be familiars of Greek thieves aiding them in their stealthy activities. If we were to compare them by size.. Goblins are the evil versions of Faeries. Kobolds are blue evil versions of Dwarves. Hobgoblins are the evil versions of Elves. Orcs may be the evil versions of Humans. (I always think if Bakshi's Fire and Ice when thinking Orcs.) So far, from my studies of the mythology of these classic monsters, they are all related by name. Kobold may be the Germanic word for Goblin -- a transformative, small human-like spirit being of a culture dating before the Greeks. [/QUOTE]
