Goblin Archer Marshals are the elite bowmen of goblin raiding parties.
Description[]
Goblin archers marshals are identical physically to regular goblin archers, save for appearing to be wearing additional armor. This is just aesthetic though, as goblin archer marshals have the same armor class as regular goblins.
Due to their lower base THAC0 compared to all other types of goblins, and proficiency with their shortbows, goblin archers marshals are the most accurate of goblin fighters. Since they still lack proficiency with daggers, should they run out of arrows or be forced into melee combat, goblin archer marshals will still suffer a +2 THAC0 penalty with their daggers, making their effective THAC0 21 with them.
Encounters[]
On Core Rules, only one goblin archer marshal is encountered, in the canyon to the north of the main area of the Kuldahar Pass. But on Hard an additional one is encountered in the main pass, and on Insane an additional four are encountered there. Goblin archers marshals will also occasionally interrupt rests attempted in the main Kuldahar Pass area.
