We Be Goblins!!! (A 5E Wild Goblin Hijinks Game) **Interest Check**

[shengami]

Er, so, are we in official 'apply' mode then? Wasn't sure since Brittlby had said they were putting in some work. Didn't want to jump the gun or assume we're recruiting in this thread. Heh.

I have the little beastie built in DNDB, so wouldn't take me long to translate.

Also, I distrust anything from Wildemount in other settings. Mercer's homebrew rules are often balanced differently to the rest of D&D. But I'm a bit of a fuddy duddy that way.

Yes, we ARE in apply mode! 

[Xerial]

Hah.

Oddly enough my last gobbo was an echo knight / ancestral barb! (Optimized? No. Lots of “siblings” on the battlefield. Yes.)

So I’d be a hypocrite if I said no!

Optimized, what is this word you speak of?

I have no place to judge optimization... one of my options has disadvantage with his primary weapon a lot of the time.

Name: Ciozliank (pronounced: Kee-ohz-lee-ahnk) Blacktoes
Age: 31
Race: Goblin
Gender: Male
Orientation: Demisexual (bordering on functionally asexual)/ Panromantic
Class: Druid (Circle of the Moon)
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Background: Outlander
History: Cio (Keeoh) grew up in the north, in a little glacial valley formed between two mountains. His tribe shared this valley with a clan of wood elves in harmony. They took care of the plants and animals. They worshipped a shared pantheon of animal spirits. All was well until the frozen dead came. Cio only survived it because he was down in the tunnels spending time with the rats he felt kinship with. Imagine his surprise when he came days later to find the valley dead and lifeless! After that, he fled ahead of more frozen dead. With his allies and ability to travel as an animal, he was able to make it south and found himself following the summons of Runferd. It was good to be among his own kind again, but he doesn't always share the general animosity for other races. Still, he's been abused by them enough now to not have too many objections. The journey south taught him a lot about how others see goblins.

Ons & Offs: Biting, Consent, Cuddles, Kissing, Oral (receiving and giving), and dry sex. Scat, Gore, Guro, Trust-breaking, Bathrooom Play.

Plot Hooks: Cio likes rats, He doesn't go along with mindless cruelty, He likes elves, He's a loner. That said, though slow to trust, he is loyal once it is earned. He'd rather fiery and passionate about the frozen dead and their need to be re-deaded.

Name: Bizzba Bashba
Age: 22
Race: Goblin
Gender: Female
Orientation: Pansexual
Class: Path of the Zealot Berserker
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Background: Gruul Anarch
History: Bizzba was a simple creature of the world. Growing up alone in an abandoned part of a city, she came up as more of a savage beast than the average goblin. If it was not alive, she'd either break it or steal it. If it was alive, she would either kill it, eat it, or fuck it. Simple as. All Eventually she discovered other goblins and started to integrate more into their society, but her wild girl lifestyle still set her apart as the odd one out. Not that she minded. She had some friends and she was ride or die for them, but otherwise she was the same outlander covered in furs and trophies. After she got word that Runferd needed people to cause some mayhem, how could she say no? Especially since a while ago she discovered that if she died, she didn't stay that way for very long, making her even more reckless than before. Could this cause trouble with having plans work? Absolutely. Would it at least be funny when she got clawed by a bear or passed around by an entire guard patrol? Of course it would.

Name: Leera Arla
Age: 20
Race: Goblin
Gender: Female
Orientation: Bi
Class: Gloomstalker Ranger
Background: Urban Bounty Hunter
History: Leera is a more urban sort of goblin, though it didn't start out that way. She started out as a hunter, making good use of her trusty bow to hunt prey for her village. Something about her irked the village chiefs, though, so from simple prey, they started sending her after dangerous prey and, when that didnt' seem to humble her any, they sent her after monsters instead. That didn't work either, so... they were out of ideas, but eventually, she got bored and moved to the city, where she worked as a troubleshooter. She found trouble, then shot it. For shinies, of course. The last thing many a villain, and maybe not-so-villain, heard was the soft sound of a bow released in the shadows.

Ons:  Sex (oral, vaginal), exhibitionism, collaring, musk play, size differences

Hmm, I don't envy the GM their choice here. Several interesting submissions.

Name: Lechosław (Lech) and Wiesława (Weis)
Age: 20 & 20
Race: Goblin
Gender: Female
Orientation: Pan (L) and straight (W)
Class: Fighter (Echo Knight)
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Background: Celebrity Adventurer's Scion (AcInc)
History:
The twin grand daughters of Mieczysław, one of the greatest Goblin heroes of all time who slew a fierce paladin while in service to one of the many rotating Orcish Lords who tend to rise every now and then. Lech and Weis attempt to follow their grand-sire's example and took up blades (a twin pair of orcish blades their grandfather had stolen and run off with just before the lord's forces fell) in order to be every bit as impressive and outstanding in their village, a challenge indeed considering just how many relatives they need to surpass and outshine - this is in equal parts to get their grubby mits on the accursed Paladin blade and to be able to boss all the other goblins about. The pair are unusually cooperative for goblins (even for siblings from the same brood) and tend to fight in tandem, using their natural gob-given talent of knowing when to slip out of danger while appearing to be squashed, or throw one another into the fray. While practicing this Weis suffered an injury to her throat leading the pair to need to compensate for a lack of communication skills and developing a rudimentary form of sign language.

Racial Features:

Fey Ancestry

You have advantage on saving throws you make to avoid or end the charmed condition on yourself.

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 extra damage to the creature. The extra damage equals your proficiency bonus.
You can use this trait a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, regaining all expended uses when you finish a long rest, and you can use it no more than once per turn.

Nimble Escape

You can take the Disengage or Hide action as a bonus action on each of your turns.

Background Features:

Name Dropping

You know and have met any number of powerful people across the land—and some of them might even remember you. You might be able to wrangle minor assistance from a major figure in the campaign, at the DM's discretion. Additionally, the common folk treat you with deference, and your heritage and the stories you tell might be good for a free meal or a place to sleep.

Class Features:

Great Weapon Fighting

When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.

Second Wind

You have a limited well of stamina that you can draw on to protect yourself from harm. On your turn, you can use a bonus action to regain hit points equal to 1d10 + your fighter level.
Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.

Action Surge

Starting at 2nd level, you can push yourself beyond your normal limits for a moment. On your turn, you can take one additional action.
Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again. Starting at 17th level, you can use it twice before a rest, but only once on the same turn.

Manifest Echo

You can use a bonus action to magically manifest an echo of yourself in an unoccupied space you can see within 15 feet of you. This echo is a magical, translucent, gray image of you that lasts until it is destroyed, until you dismiss it as a bonus action, until you manifest another echo, or until you're incapacitated.

Your echo has AC 14 + your proficiency bonus, 1 hit point, and immunity to all conditions. If it has to make a saving throw, it uses your saving throw bonus for the roll. It is the same size as you, and it occupies its space. On your turn, you can mentally command the echo to move up to 30 feet in any direction (no action required). If your echo is ever more than 30 feet from you at the end of your turn, it is destroyed.

You can use the echo in the following ways:

• As a bonus action, you can teleport, magically swapping places with your echo at a cost of 15 feet of your movement, regardless of the distance between the two of you.
• When you take the Attack action on your turn, any attack you make with that action can originate from your space or the echo's space. You make this choice for each attack.
• When a creature that you can see within 5 feet of your echo moves at least 5 feet away from it, you can use your reaction to make an opportunity attack against that creature as if you were in the echo's space.

Unleash Incarnation

You can heighten your echo's fury. Whenever you take the Attack action, you can make one additional melee attack from the echo's position.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Attacks:
