Goblin(oid) Resources

Post by Treiste » Sun Jun 22, 2014 7:21 pm

The term goblinoid typically refers to goblins, hobgoblins, and bugbears. In FK, Goblins are a playable race and are grouped into "Orcish" races, along with Grey Orcs, Half-orcs, and Mountain Orcs.

General Goblin Information:
Reliable:
Reynolds, Forbeck, Jacobs, Boyd (March 2003). Races of Faerûn. Wizards of the Coast. ISBN 0-7869-2875-1. (This is easily findable online, just google it.)

Unreliable, quick info (mixes some 4E stuff, but does have a nice reference list at the bottom):
http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Maglubiyet

Goblin(oid) Deities:
Greater deity:
Maglubiyet: http://oracle.wizards.com/scripts/wa.ex ... =0&P=24947

Lesser deities:
Khurgorbaeyag: http://oracle.wizards.com/scripts/wa.ex ... =0&P=24822
Nomog-Geaya: http://oracle.wizards.com/scripts/wa.ex ... =0&P=25069
Bargrivyek: http://oracle.wizards.com/scripts/wa.ex ... =0&P=24700

It should probably be noted that in 4E, Bane defeats Maglubiyet who becomes one of Bane's exarchs.

This is more of a suggestion, but it would be cool if a modified version of the Maglubiyet link given above were turned into a helpfile for the uncoded deity Maglubiyet, since he is the patron god of a playable race, essentially on the level of Gruumsh.

(edit: I'm willing to submit a draft of this via the applications forum, if greenlit. Ha! greenlit.)
