Have a pair of goblins, for example, flank a PC and then have one of them use the "aid another" action to give the other an additional bonus. Since the favored class for goblins is rogue, it would not be unreasonable to have some of a group of goblins be rogues. Pair each one up with a warrior, and have the warrior do the "aiding" so the rogue can sneak attack the PCs.A bard to inspire courage or cleric who can cast bless on the bad guys side can also help. Just one 1st level classed opponent like this can give a huge edge to a group of cannon fodder. The +1 to attack rolls and +1 to damage from inspire courage can make a large gang of goblins much more dangerous (since the bonus gets applied to lots of attacks and damage rolls). The 1st level bard spell Harmonize from Magic of Faerun can boost the bonus from bardsong to +2/+2.That means a reasonably intelligent gang of goblins could be attacking PCs with a +6 bonus to attack rolls and +2 to damage roills over and above their normal bonuses if they flank PCs, use the aid another tactic and have a goblin bard on their side.</blockquote>
