Engine goblins
Engine goblins are nothing like their bestial counterparts while normal goblins prefer to stab enemies in the back engine goblins use they’re intelligence to outsmart opponents. Living up to their name engine goblins are widely known for their engineering and clockwork devices that also have a dash of magic to make them run.
Personality
Most engine goblins act very witty and are eager to explain how everything works they can be very grumpy though especially around unwanted visitors and members of another race. Most engine goblins are sensible and have no want to charge headlong into battle they would much rather think of a way out of it and if they have no other choice but fight they use magic as opposed to brute force.
Physical description
Engine goblins range from about 4 ft. tall to 5 ft tall and weigh from 100 lbs to 200 lbs. Men are not much taller than their female counterparts and weigh about the same as well. Engine goblins skin runs from black to dark red to brown but are most commonly green. Their hair is about the same and naturally the darker the skin the darker the hair. Engine goblins usually live around two centuries.
Relations
Engine goblins rarely enjoy the company of other races especially brutishly strong and stupid ones because they tend to break things. Engine goblins most enjoy the company of gnomes because they share their love of knowledge and the way things work. You very commonly see gnomes and engine goblins talking with each other.
Alignment
Engine goblins tend toward neutrality because most engine goblins care little for what goes on outside their halls.
Engine goblin lands
Engine goblins are much like dwarves because they tend to live in grand mountain halls with many large open rooms. The government of the Engine goblins varies between their many city-states. Most are Democracies formed by engine goblin aristocrats. Some are even Tyrannies. Most of the engine goblin tyrannies are controlled by a different race (other racial tyrants). There are not many monarchies except for in evil engine goblin lands.
Religion: The chief Engine goblin god is Tiron the god of wisdom and knowledge he teaches Engine goblins to always question things and figure out how everything works.
Language: Engine goblins speak goblin, which has a small amount of technical related words so the Engine Goblins add some the goblin tongue uses the orcish script
Names:
Engine goblins are not very strict about names, which tend to be mechanic oriented or family names, which tend to be simple and short. Although they aren’t strict about most names Engine goblins give names as titles and they are very strict about those. Engine goblins also take names from gnomes as they spend so much time together.

-Low-light vision; Engine goblins can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. They retain the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions
-+2 racial attack bonus against kobolds and ogres. Engine goblins constantly battle tunneling kobold and their ogre slaves and have developed special techniques to fighting them.
-+2 racial dodge bonus against giants, from being around gnomes constantly engine goblins have learned some of there combat techniques.
- use magical device is always a class skill for engine goblins
-+1 racial bonuses to all disable device checks as engine goblins have a good sense of how things work
