At the most childish, because this is my thread, and so my whims of "what a goblin should be" beat your opinion of what a goblin should be, so there. Nyeah. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Please reread my post in your quote.Because goblin's ain't hobgoblins. Because I envision a goblin as being individually no real threat to a stout human with a pitchfork, save only that the goblin be uncommonly skilled. Because dying more easily does emphatically not an easier encounter make -- it makes the monster easier to kill, though, so somehow the encounter will need more oomph.I shouldn't have to wait for my heroes to be beating up hordes of goblins; the genre expectation is that goblins are individually not-all-that-badass, and supporting rather than subverting that expectation is the order of the day.I'm also pretty sure that beefing up the minions isn't the way I'd want to take this: the goblin powers and kobold powers are neat and make fighting goblins fun; sharpshooters and such are pretty cool.They just take (subjectively) too much punishment to drop. Deleveling them is the right solution for me.</blockquote>
