Goblins are a race of small humanoid goblinkin common throughout Aldrazar. The race is known for their often unpredicticality and swift reflexes making them if not excellent combatants in the field of speed and deception.
Appearance
Goblins are small goblinoids that many consider little more than a nuisance. They have flat faces, broad noses, pointed ears, and small, sharp fangs. Their foreheads slope back, and their eyes vary in color from red to yellow. Their skin color ranges from yellow through any shade of orange to a deep red. Goblins usually stand around the same height as Halflings (3'4"-3'8") and weigh about 40 to 55 pounds on average.
Abilities
Goblins are a nimble and elusive race, who are able to slip away from danger more easily than most. In combat, goblins often use this advantage to sneak up on enemies and deal them a blow from hiding and then slip away before they can be retaliated against. Goblins are also surprisingly charming, despite their monstrous appearance.
