[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 4561817, member: 2209"] It is by the book legal to make a variant half dragon template to apply to a goblin that allows him to breathe a fireball without taking wizard levels. Or to create a dragonfire adept variant class. Or to give him six levels of sorcerer or one level of sorcerer and a scroll or limited charges wand, etc. Its hard to see a significant difference between "I say this goblin has 5 levels of wizard so he can throw a fireball" vs. "I say this goblin has six levels of sorcerer and can cast fireball" vs. "I say this level 1 sorcerer goblin has a wand of fireballs" vs. "I say this goblin has a template that allows him to throw fireballs" vs. "I say this goblin can throw fireballs" when the resulting fireball throwing goblin is essentially the same and the PCs are not able to note the difference in general. If there was a discussion with the NPC goblin about his fireball throwing such as a PC wizard wishing to trade spells, or if his ability came from an item the party takes from him then it would be significant but as a general matter I can't imagine a PC even noticing a difference.
