D&D General I really LOVE Stomping Goblins

Sure, but that nicely balances out, in a cosmic sense, the tragic loss of five innocent lives.

You are saying 1 bard is worth 5 innocent lives?

It's the part about going "squish" that increases its value in the balance sheet.

By the way, it's ok to hate on bards, because it's their choice, they aren't born into it. Right?

That's what I just said. I wasn't talking about physical characteristics. You're the one that started in on the idea that I was talking about changing gender or sex or whatever you meant there as some sort of weird, contrarian gotcha.

ROFL No. Go back and re-read. Nothing I said was talking about physicality. It was all personality.

Im just surprised, most Bard haters wouldn't trade 50 lives for a bard lol.

Honestly, given that Gary Gygax himself identified as a member of one of the many real world religions that categorizes humanity as inherently evil (with some saying that humans also deserve neverending torture or complete annihilation in the afterlife because of this), I'm a little bit curious if Neutral in D&D is supposed to actually be Evil and Evil itself is actually "very Evil".

Making other non-human races in D&D more predisposed to Good implies that humans are inherently morally inferior in comparison. Elves and dwarves traditionally weren't killing humans, but usually they had their own lands, possibly as a way to keep themselves away from the comparatively morally inferior human species.

Plus there was that one 3E book that introduced a god of humans whose alignment was Lawful Evil.

Fun goblin types to make stomping more dynamic:

Pyro: add sling that hurls flaming mini-cauldron that causes 2d4 fire damage to target plus 1d4 burn damage on a failed Dex save. Creatures adjacent to the target take 1d4 fire splash damage unless they make a DeX save. Any attack that hits a pyro goblin has a 1 in 6 chance of causing the pro's remaining ammo to go up all at once causing 4d6 fire damage in a 10 foot radius.

Like fake stuffed, or like taxidermied?

Taxidermied, badly.

Can anybody say "chain reaction"?

Loopers: three goblins armed with catch poles work together to snare and immobilize man sized victims. While so held, the victim is attacked by other goblins from range (with advantage).
