Goblins are small humanoid monsters found all over Faerûn.
Description[]
Though very weak singly, goblins are usually found in mixed bands of both melee fighters and archers, and can easily overwhelm an under-prepared party by their sheer numbers.
Goblin warriors use a battle axe and a small shield and attack in melee, while archers use shortbows to fire arrows from afar, carrying daggers as backup melee weapons.
Since they are not proficient with their battle axes, and are trained in the fighter class, goblins suffer a +2 THAC0 penalty, making their effective THAC0 22.
Encounters[]
In Icewind Dale, they are encountered in Easthaven and Kuldahar Pass.
Sub-types[]
