[QUOTE="Jolly Giant, post: 1792224, member: 5278"] For the 10 goblins with PHB classes I'd make 2-3 ranger scouts/hunters, 2-3 barbarians (surprise the PCs with some physically strong goblins! ;) ) and make the rest rogues. I'd max out hide and move sil. for all of those; stealth is what goblins are best at, after all. Give the rangers and rogues the Point Blankc Shot feat and max out their Spot skill, making them sniper types. For myself (the chieftan) I'd either go rogue or multiclass brb/rog or ftr/rog, depending on how many levels I/he's got. Oh, and I'd pray heavily for the dark gods to bring me some good bows; I'd even be willing to trade in wome of those spears and swords! :p Worg riders with +1 spears make excellent cavalry. Warriors with fullplate and and spears make nice guards for any structure that needs extra protection (I'm looking at the chieftan's hut here! ;) ). For further strategy, I really need to know more about your setup. I'd probably go to that tower, taking a small entourage with me. Two rangers and a rogue would be good. We'd ride worgs most of the way, then leave them somewhere, possibly with one of the rangers. The last stretch we'd cover on foot, trying our best not to be seen or heard. Assuming we can get to the tower unnoticed, I'd probably let the rogue sneak the staff into the tower while I and the rangers waited outside. Those dreams wifey had sounded eerie... :eek: [/QUOTE]
