A diminutive species of goblin with sharp fangs and a pointy nose. Surprisingly strong for its small size. A familiar nuisance armed with his time-tested punch, these cretins have big ears and a curly cap. Although strong and stupid, they are clever enough to use tools, but they lack patience and foresight. You'll never catch them plowing a field, to say the least. Building is not in their nature, but thievery and destruction, they most certainly are. It is said that there is a goblin at the start of any adventure worth having.

There's been conflict for as long as anyone can remember. They lay traps for their prey and hunt in packs. For this reason, they are a direct threat to the hunters who also live off the plains. Climate change can cause a decline in prey and force the goblins to wander closer to human settlements in search of food. They love a good fight and like to pounce on unwary humans. It's recommended to stay in large groups when traversing goblin-infested lands.
Combat[edit]
Cowardly but shrewd, goblins are always on the lookout for an opening. They often prey in gangs upon the weak, a Goblin is an aggressive enemy and has two types of attacks: a long-range attack where it throws some sort of stone at the target, and a short-range attack where it hacks at the player with its sword.
Special Attacks[edit]
Throw Rock: A Goblin is an expert at throwing small stones or other improvised objects that are similarly shaped and sized as small rocks. A Goblin gains a +2 bonus on his attack roll with such improvised weapons. If successful, this deals 1d4 + 1 damage.
Spell-like Abilities: 1/day Sleep (DC 11). Caster level is equal to the High Summoner's class level (minimum of 1st). The save DCs = 10 + ½ High Summoner Class level + Goblin's Wisdom modifier. The save DC is Wisdom based.
Overdrive[edit]
Goblin Punch: As a full round action, a Goblin can make a single attack at his highest attack bonus. If successful, he deals 4d8 + (Summoner level x 3) damage.
