Reta Bigbad
Reta likes to torment small, harmless animals and usually has a pocket full of such creatures in case she gets bored. She finds it hard not to shout when she speaks, and loves taking risks in combat to scare her enemies. Sometimes she throws animals at her sister Stumpbiter while she's sleeping to scare her, too.
Equipment
Dogslicer (scimitar), shortbow with 20 arrows in a quiver decorated with dog ears, leather armor, potion of healing, potion of climbing, lucky pet toad ("Spotol"), jar of pickled halfling toes just about ready for eating (equivalent to 1 day's trail rations), toasting fork, bridal veil, halfling ladies' corset, 20 feet of rope with dead moles sewn into it, small silver mirror, jar of human perfume (half drunk), meat hook, leather satchel, flint and tinder, set of false teeth, pocketful of caterpillars
Reta's Song

Reta kills it all just right!

Poog of Zarongel
Poog is a frightening little cleric of the goblin deity Zarongel, the sacred god of dog-killing, fire, and most holy mounted combat. That Poog isn't very good at mounted combat is his not-so-secret shame, so he funnels most of his energy into attempts to overachieve at his god's other sacred teachings—killing dogs (although he hasn't yet killed one, he hopes to do so some day) and lighting fires (something that Poog is already pretty good at).
Equipment
Dogslicer (scimitar), knife (dagger), 2 javelins, chain shirt, lucky pet toad ("Dogfinder"), squashed dried toad (his previous lucky pet toad), jar of pickled fish heads (the equivalent of 1 day's trail rations), 6 torches, flint and tinder, almost empty salt shaker, pig's tail (snack), wooden flute (too splintery to play for long without injury)
Poog's Song
Poog say Zarongel is the best,
He help burn things and heal the rest.
Zarongel's favor makes Poog blessed.
And Poog also stab you with knife if you make fun of how he isn't good at riding animals.

Mogmurch
Ten-year-old Mogmurch is deranged. Mogmurch lives with his mate Rempty, who has an irritating habit of licking his face clean in public (especially when he leaves the village). She thinks his use of alchemy is very clever, and while she loves the flavor Mogmurch's experiments leave on his face, she worries that he'll some day blow himself up when she's not around to watch.

- Alchemist's Satchel. You have crafted an Alchemist's Satchel, a bag of reagents that you use to create a variety of concoctions. The bag and its contents are both magical, and this magic allows you to pull out exactly the right materials you need for your alchemical acid, alchemical fire, or smoke stick, described below. After you use one of those options, the bag reclaims the materials. If you lose this satchel, you can create a new one over the course of three days of work (eight hours each day) by expending 100 gp worth of leather, glass, and other raw materials.
- Alchemical Acid. As an action, you can reach into your Alchemist's Satchel, pull out a vial of acid, and hurl the vial at a creature or object within 30 feet of you (the vial and its contents disappear if you don't hurl the vial by the end of the current turn). The vial shatters on impact. A creature must succeed on a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw or take 1d6 acid damage. An object automatically takes that damage, and the damage is maximized.
- Alchemical Fire. As an action, you can reach into your Alchemist's Satchel, pull out a vial of volatile liquid, and hurl the vial at a creature, object, or surface within 30 feet of you (the vial and its contents disappear if you don't hurl the vial by the end of the current turn). On impact, the vial detonates in a 5-foot radius. Any creature in that area must succeed on a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw or take 1d6 fire damage.
- Bouncy. Your bones, flesh, and skin are a bit more elastic than those of most goblins—when you fall, you tend to bounce a little better than them as a result. You can use your reaction when you fall to reduce any falling damage you take by an amount equal to five times your level.
- Fury of the Small. When you damage a creature with an attack or a spell and the creature's size is larger than yours, you can cause the attack or spell to deal 1 extra damage to the creature. Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
- Magic Item Analysis. Your understanding of magic items allows you to analyze and understand their secrets. You know the artificer spells detect magic and identify, and you can cast them as rituals. You don't need to provide a material component when casting identify with this class feature.
- Nimble Escape. You can take the Disengage or Hide action as a bonus action on each of your turns.
- Smoke Stick. As an action, you can reach into your Alchemist's Satchel and pull out a stick that produces a thick plume of smoke. You can hold on to the stick or throw it to a point up to 30 feet away as part of the action used to produce it. The area in a 10-foot radius around the stick is filled with thick smoke that blocks vision, including darkvision. The stick and smoke persist for 1 minute and then disappear. After using this formula, you can't do so again for 1 minute.
Actions
Club. Melee Weapon Attack: +1 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 1 (1d4-1) bludgeoning damage.
Dogmunch the Magical
Dogmunch lives alone in a mud hut on the edge of the Licktoad tribal lands. The stench that surrounds him is often too terrible for even the smelliest of other goblins to bear. He eats the rotten remains of animals in the swamps nearby and often carries plenty of pickings in his teeth for emergencies.
Equipment
Quarterstaff, potion of healing, vial of acid, flask of alchemist's fire, make-believe wand of fireballs (infinite charges), lucky pet toad ("Spike"), sack containing the blackened corpses of his first four lucky pet toads, spectacles (for show), gourd full of pickled leeches (counts as 1 day's rations), dog leather hat, four fake "magical" totems made of feathers and bones (used to threaten other goblins), juicy slug in old potion vial (snack), pumpkin-head lantern, soft leather boot (used as belt pouch)

Jubbol
Jubbol is a short (even for a goblin), muscular individual who even other goblins consider a bit of a dangerous savage. In battle, he enters a frothing frenzy and screams at the top of his lungs. However, his resemblance to a toad (even his voice is deep for a goblin) and prowess make him a valued member of the Licktoad tribe.
Equipment
Horsechopper (halberd), morningstar, knife (dagger), 6 javelins, potion of healing, flask of alchemist's fire, 2 flasks of oil, lucky pet toad ("Skipping Rock"), necklace of dog teeth, small backpack, crudely made lizard skin breeches, poorly tanned dog pelt, battered leather hat, humanoid skull painted with a happy face, cracked humanoid skull painted with a sad face, small bait pouch, 2 jars of pickled animal parts (equivalent of 2 days of trail rations), 2 torches, small waterskin

- Killer. You made your first kill at a very young age and found the task of war or murder to your liking. You either take particular pride in a well-placed blow, or find vile pleasure in twisting the blade to maximize your target's pain. When you score a critical hit with a melee weapon attack, you can roll one of the weapon's damage dice one additional time and add it to the extra damage of the critical hit.
- Nimble Escape. You can take the Disengage or Hide action as a bonus action on each of your turns.
- Unarmored Defense. While you are not wearing any armor, your Armor Class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier. You can use a shield and still gain this benefit.
- Rage. In battle, you fight with primal ferocity. On your turn, you can enter a rage as a bonus action. While raging, you gain the following effects if you aren't wearing heavy armor:
- You have advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
- When you make a melee weapon attack using Strength, you gain a +2 bonus to the damage roll.
- You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.
- If you are able to cast spells, you can't cast them or concentrate on them while raging.

Leadfinger
Leadfinger has an amazingly long attention span for a goblin. He is also fairly soft-spoken and repulsively ugly (to a goblin, anyway). He would be derided by his tribe-mates for these abnormalities if it weren't for his bad habit of following enemies home at night and hurting them, badly. Leadfinger makes his home in the marsh just outside the village for fear of retaliation, though he'll insist he simply enjoys the solitude.
Equipment
Bastard sword, scale mail, shield, potion of healing, flask of oil, lucky pet toad ("Dart"), small backpack, patched small blanket, patched and stained dark blue blouse, patched and muddy brown cloak, fishhook, flint and steel, small belt pouch, empty flask, jug of charred elf fingers (the equivalent of 1 day's trail rations), 50 foot ball of string, torch, small waterskin, collection of enemies' ears (his favorite is the one he took from leering Mogwag)

- Divine Sense. The presence of strong good registers on your senses like a noxious odor, and powerful evil rings like heavenly music in your ears. As an action, you can open your awareness to detect such forces. Until the end of your next turn, you know the location of any celestial, fiend, or undead within 60 feet of you that is not behind total cover. You know the type (celestial, fiend, or undead) of any being whose presence you sense, but not its identity. Within the same radius, you also detect the presence of any place or object that has been consecrated or desecrated, as with the hallow spell. You can use this feature a number of times equal to 1 + your Charisma modifier. When you finish a long rest, you regain all expended uses.
- Fury of the Small. When you damage a creature with an attack or a spell and the creature's size is larger than yours, you can cause the attack or spell to deal 1 extra damage to the creature. Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
- Lay on Hands. Your blessed touch can heal wounds. You have a pool of healing power that replenishes when you take a long rest. With that pool, you can restore a total number of hit points equal to your paladin level x 5. As an action, you can touch a creature and draw power from the pool to restore a number of hit points to that creature, up to the maximum amount remaining in your pool. Alternatively, you can expend 5 hit points from your pool of healing to cure the target of one disease or neutralize one poison affecting it. You can cure multiple diseases and neutralize multiple poisons with a single use of Lay on Hands, expending hit points separately for each one. This feature has no effect on undead and constructs.
- Nimble Escape. You can take the Disengage or Hide action as a bonus action on each of your turns.
- Ugly Swine. You are a repulsive little freak whose origins are unclear. Your head is small for a goblin and your mouth oddly narrow, allowing you to pass in urban environments as an unidentifiable mongrel, providing you keep a low profile. However, if examined closely, your goblin origins are revealed. You gain proficiency in the Deception skill, and have advantage on skill checks made to disguise yourself as a member of another race.
Actions

- Bardic Inspiration. You can inspire others through stirring words or music. To do so, you use a bonus action on your turn to choose one creature other than yourself within 60 feet of you who can hear you. That creature gains one Bardic Inspiration die, a d6. Once within the next 10 minutes, the creature can roll the die and add the number rolled to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw it makes. The creature can wait until after it rolls the d20 before deciding to use the Bardic Inspiration die, but must decide before the DM says whether the roll succeeds or fails. Once the Bardic Inspiration die is rolled. it is lost. A creature can have only one Bardic Inspiration die at a time. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (a minimum of once). You regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Stumpbiter
Stumpbiter is a bit taller than most goblins, with a wiry build. She also tends to be quiet, usually breaking into a vicious grin instead of shrieks of joy. She prefers stalking opponents and attacking from ambush. She is the twin sister of Reta Bigbad, and often tests her sister's awareness with a quick shot to the knee.

- Color Thief. Your skin is an odd tint that somehow absorbs background colors. Maybe because you drank a lot of potions. Maybe because you've been blessed by the barghests. Maybe because you're just better than the other boring goblins. In any case, you have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks, providing you wear only light armor or no armor.
- Favored Enemy. You have significant experience studying, tracking, hunting, and even talking to two types of humanoid enemies: goblinoids and humans. You have advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to track your favored enemies, as well as on Intelligence checks to recall information about them.
- Fury of the Small. When you damage a creature with an attack or a spell and the creature's size is larger than yours, you can cause the attack or spell to deal 1 extra damage to the creature. Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
- Natural Explorer. You are particularly familiar with the swamp environment and are adept at traveling and surviving in such regions. When you make an Intelligence or Wisdom check related to your favored terrain, your proficiency bonus is doubled if you are using a skill that you're proficient in. While traveling for an hour or more in your favored terrain, you gain the following benefits:
- Difficult terrain doesn't slow your group's travel.
- Your group can't become lost except by magical means.
- Even when you are engaged in another activity while traveling (such as foraging, navigating, or tracking), you remain alert to danger.
- If you are traveling alone, you can move stealthily at a normal pace.
- When you forage, you find twice as much food as you normally would.
- While tracking other creatures, you also learn their exact number, their sizes, and how long ago they passed through the area.
- Nimble Escape. You can take the Disengage or Hide action as a bonus action on each of your turns.

Toadwart
Toadwart is a little strange, even for a goblin. He mutters to himself, as if holding a conversation, at random times and nearby objects often twitch as if about to move themselves. When angry, his eyes develop a faint red glow. Oftentimes, things will spring to fire near the myserious goblin for no apparent reason. He is routinely found telling great tales of draconic heroes, of which he is certainly one. His scaled red dragon costume is his prized possesion.
Equipment
Sickle, sling with 10 bullets, potion of healing, flask of alchemist's fire (2), lucky pet toad ("Drubbus the Fifth"), small butterfly net, pouch of noxious-smelling herbs, flying lizard tied up with string that is the last of its kind (snack), sewing needle, 2 jars of stewed beetles and grubs (equivalent of 2 days trail rations), red dragon costume made of sewn together lizard skins
Toadwart's Song
Toadwart love the swamp, he do!
Frogs and swamp love Toadwart too.
Don't call ugly, Toadwart hates.
Make magic fire, burns real great!

- Advantageous Distraction. Like most goblins, you're easily distracted. Unlike most goblins, though, you have a knack for being distracted at the right time, especially when it comes to avoiding pain. Once per short rest, as a reaction which you take when you are hit by an attack, you can be momentarily distracted in combat—ducking an axe swing to inspect a toadstool, or stooping behind a tree to lick some bark and accidentally avoiding an arrow, and so on. When you activate this ability, you gain a +2 bonus to your AC until the start of your next turn, including against the triggering attack.
- Draconic Resolve. You're definitely a dragon. Just look at those scales! So red and scaley. Your hit point maximum is increased by 1.
- Fury of the Small. When you damage a creature with an attack or a spell and the creature's size is larger than yours, you can cause the attack or spell to deal 1 extra damage to the creature. Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
