Re: Orc/Goblinoid Resources
The racial feats for changing the stat mods should probably say 'gain a -2 Int penalty' instead of lose but other than that, I likes what I see. Kleinbar Rage makes me think there'll be many Reckless Ragers among them, which is kinda a neat side perk.

Re: Orc/Goblinoid Resources
GOBLIN BOMBER
[IMG]Picture URL[/IMG]
And so he says, “I don't like the cut of your jib!” And I go, I says, “It's the only jib I got, baby!”
Goblin Bombers are elite military units who have discovered gunpowder and specialize in the use of guns, bombs and incendiaries. Which is a pretty nice way of saying they're cannon fodder for the Hobgoblin military who are smart enough not to get involved with unstable chemical mixtures...
BECOMING A GOBLIN BOMBER
Knowing the right skills helps, but being crazy is an absolute necessity.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Race: Any Goblin
Skills: Craft (Alchemy, Guns) 4 ranks, Disable Device 4 ranks
Feats: Personal Firearms Proficiency*, Point Blank Shot
* See d20 Modern.
Class Skills
The Goblin Bomber's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Bluff (Cha), Climb (Str), Concentration (Con), Craft (Alchemy, Guns)(Int), Disable Device (Int), Intimidate (Cha), Jump (Str), Knowledge (Architecture and Engineering, Dungeoneering)(Int), Listen (Wis), Profession (Wis), Search (Int), and Spot (Wis)
Skills Points at Each Level : 6 + int
Hit Dice: d6
Code:BAB Fort Ref Will Abilities 1. +0 +0 +2 +2 Guns 2. +1 +0 +3 +3 Grenades 3. +2 +1 +3 +3 Gumption +1 4. +3 +1 +4 +4 Guns 5. +3 +1 +4 +4 Grenades 6. +4 +2 +5 +5 Gumption +2 7. +5 +2 +5 +5 Guns 8. +6 +2 +6 +6 Grenades 9. +6 +3 +6 +6 Gumption +3 10.+7 +3 +7 +7 Yeah, Baby!
Guns (Ex): You become proficient with, and able to use Craft (guns) to make the following items from page 20-22 of D20 Past:
1st Level: Blunderbuss Musket, Blunderbuss Pistol, Brown Bess, Cannons, Snaplock Musket, Snaplock Pistol.
4th Level: Dueling Pistol, Ferguson Rifle, Four-Barrel Pistol.
7th Level: Colt revolver rifle, Kentucky Rifle, Pepperbox, Plains Rifle, Rifle-Musket, 12 gauge double barrel shotgun. Craft DC's and creation costs are listed below.
In addition at Levels 1, 4, and 7 you get 1 Gun Feat (also listed below), and may now choose Gun Feats whenever you get a General Feat from leveling up. You may also choose the Feat 'Part Time Wizard'.
Grenades (Ex): You become proficient with, and able to use Craft (guns) to make the following items from page 26 of D20 Past (Items marked with a * are new, and stats will be given below):
2nd Level: Blast Grenade, Gunpowder Barrel, Molotov*, Smoke Bomb *
5th Level: Bomb*, Fire Rockets *, Multiple Rocket Launcher *
8th Level: Dynamite, Portable Cannon *, Land Mine *
In addition at Levels 2, 5, and 8 you get 1 Grenade Feat (also listed below)and may now choose Grenade Feats whenever you get a General Feat from leveling up. You may also choose the Feat 'Part Time Wizard'.
Gumption (Ex): Your lunacy and intense familiarity with unexpected explosions does you well, and you gain a +1 Bonus to the following rolls:
Any Save made to avoid an effect than causes the following conditions: Blinded, Checked, Dazed, Dazzled, Deafened, Knocked Prone, or Stunned,
Any Fear Effects or Morale Penalties.
At level 6 the Bonus increases to +2, and at Level 9 it increases to +3.
Yeah, Baby! (Ex) You gain a +4 Bonus on all Saving throws against any attack, spell or power that has an Area of Effect. You become proficient with, and able to use Craft (guns) to make Super Bombs.
PLAYING A GOBLIN BOMBER
People are nervous around you, and not just because you have barrels of explosive powder strapped to you. It's worse if you've had coffee. Heck after about 5 cups your meal is free as long as you move along. People are weird.
Combat: Louder, bigger, and more dangerous is better. Well, usually, it depends on how close you are to the action. You prefer to be behind a nice wall or on a fast moving Worg scattering bombs or gunning people down. Burning things is pretty awesome too. You, uh...you may have a problem.
Advancement: Advancement kinda depends on what area you'd like to specialize in. Gunfighters try to make bigger, better guns, Grenadiers try to make bigger explosions. The loonies look for better ways to try to look good doing stupid things that should cause their death.
Resources: The military is always in need of a Goblin like you. So are criminals, adventurers, mercenaries, just about anyone who needs something burnt down, blown up, or shot.
GOBLIN BOMBERS IN THE WORLD
"Could you point that elsewhere please?"
Bombers are usually working in their labs avoiding the populace, or testing their latest invention on said populace. Which is a polite way of saying you don't get a lot of dates...
Daily Life: Much of your time is sucked up by finding (or stealing) funds for research, building prototypes, and then testing them. Occasional thought id given to food or bathing,
Notables:
Organizations: There are many loose associations of Bombers who band together for mutual support and protection (and mostly so they can steal each others designs).
NPC Reaction
You may things 'splode. It's a given no one wants you around.
GOBLIN BOMBERS IN THE GAME
Too much use of fire and explosives causes unintended collateral damage. Make sure the Bomber knows he could accidentally kill the party.
Adaptation: This could be done for serious or silly campaigns.
Encounters: PC's will encounter Bombers on random arson sprees, in military combat, conducting fireworks shows, etc.
Sample Encounter
EL 12: The PC's leave their favorite bar when a lone Goblin steps into the street and gives them 'the look'. Obviously he's an assassin or the floor show.

Re: Orc/Goblinoid Resources
Kleinbar Racial Substitution Levels
BARBARIAN
Levels 2 and 4: Replace Uncanny Dodge and Improved Uncanny Dodge with Uncanny Stamina and Improved Uncanny Stamina
Uncanny Stamina: When you make a successful Fortitude Saving Throw against any effect that does half damage on a successful Fortitude Save (or a reduced effect) you now take no damage/effect on a successful Save. This cannot be used if you are paralyzed or helpless.
Improved Uncanny Stamina: You now only take partial damage/effect on a failed Fortitude Save as well.
ROGUE
Level 10: Gains the following new options when choosing a Rogues Special Ability.
Blind: If you successfully confirm a Critical and are able to add your Sneak Attack dice to the attack, your opponent must make a Reflex Save (Save DC is 10 plus 1/2 HD plus Strength modifier) or be permanently Blinded.
Silence: If you successfully confirm a Critical and are able to add your Sneak Attack dice to the attack, your opponent must make a Reflex Save (Save DC is 10 plus 1/2 HD plus Strength modifier) or be permanently muted.
Slow: If you successfully confirm a Critical and are able to add your Sneak Attack dice to the attack, your opponent must make a Reflex Save (Save DC is 10 plus 1/2 HD plus Strength modifier) or have his movement speed halved for a week.
LURK
Level 8: Replace Initiative Boost with Killer's Edge.
Killer's Edge: The Save DC of your Lurk Augments gains an additional Bonus equal to your Int Modifier. In other words if it was a DC 12 (10 +2 for Int) it's now a 14.
SERIAL KILLER
[IMG]Picture URL[/IMG]
"I was only following Maglubiyet's orders."
You make the world a more interesting place. And by interesting we mean a hellish nightmare of terror and uncertainty. Everyone has emotional and mental problems, but few have them on the Epic scale you do.
BECOMING A SERIAL KILLER
Generally you must be a Kleinbar who was born with or developed some form of psychosis.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Race: Kleinbar
Class Abilities: Rage, Sneak Attack
Feats: Born Wrong, Kleinbar Rage
Skills: Bluff 6 ranks, Hide 6 ranks, Listen 6 ranks, Move Silently 6 ranks
Alignment Must be Neutral Evil or Chaotic Evil.
Class Skills
The Serial Killer's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Balance (Dex), Bluff (Cha), Climb (Str), Concentration (Con), Diplomacy (Cha), Disable Device (Int), Disguise (Cha), Escape Artist (Dex), Hide (Dex), Intimidate (Cha), Jump (Str), Knowledge (Local)(Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Search (Int), Spot (Wis), Survival (Wis), Swim (Str), and Tumble (Dex).
Skills Points at Each Level : 8 + int
Hit Dice: d6
Code:BAB Fort Ref Will Abilities 1. +0 +2 +0 +2 Mask of Sanity +2 2. +1 +3 +0 +3 +1d6 Sneak Attack 3. +2 +3 +1 +3 Silent Rage 4. +3 +4 +1 +4 Mask of Sanity +4 5. +3 +4 +1 +4 +1d6 Sneak Attack 6. +4 +5 +2 +5 Silent Rage 7. +5 +5 +2 +5 Mask of Sanity +6 8. +6 +6 +2 +6 +1d6 Sneak Attack 9. +6 +6 +3 +6 Silent Rage 10.+7 +7 +3 +7 Psychotic Fury
Mask of Sanity (Ex): At Levels 1, 4, and 7 the Serial Killer gains a cumulative +2 Bonus to Bluff and Intimidate Checks.
Sneak Attack (Ex): Identical to the ability listed on page 50 of the PHB.
Silent Rage (Ex): At Levels 3, 6, and 9 you gain an additional daily use of Rage. You may also use the following skills now while Raging: Bluff, Hide, Move Silently, and Tumble.
Psychotic Fury (Ex) You become immune to Mind-Affecting Effects while Raging.
PLAYING A SERIAL KILLER
You kill people. Well, among other things, but mostly people. Motives include sex, a need to sow fear, wealth, what you see as a Divine mission, or perhaps even orders from a demon or deity. Why you do what you do generally isn't important to others. They're a lot more interested in the possibility you may be a danger to them.
Combat: You don't fight people, you ambush them. Fighting gives them the option of fighting you back, and that simply will not do.
Advancement: Advancement really depends on the individual delusions of each serial killer. They usually approach a wide variety of class mixes.
Resources: Unless you happen to be someone's pet murderer, you're pretty much on your own. Not many people can abide your personality long enough to deal with having you as a hireling.
SERIAL KILLERS IN THE WORLD
"He was always a little too quiet for a Goblinoid..."
Serial Killers are feared and reviled for the most part, though in the more Evil cultures they can become hero's. Their mental problems make them predictable though, and few remain on any position of power for very long.
Daily Life: Daily life varies depending on your PC's individual mental aberrations. Mostly you'll be hiding from society in the hopes they don't discover you.
Notables:
Organizations: Serial Killers are loners. Occasionally a rare few work in pairs, but generally they see each other as competition. Some organizations hire them as assassins/torturers, but most prefer their help more controllable.
NPC Reaction
NPC's would likely murder you as a foaming at the mouth lynch mob if they knew who you were. You must always appear to be normal in their eyes.
SERIAL KILLERS IN THE GAME
This class will be troublesome. It assumes one PC is (perhaps secretly) suffering from psychosis, and feels a need to murder people. Even in an all evil party this might not fly since it assumes the PC's character has little self control, and will eventually commit deeds that lead back to the party at inopportune moments.
Adaptation: This is meant for serious, grim campaigns but can be used in dark humor.
Encounters: PC's will rarely realize they've encountered a serial killer unless they walk in on him doing what comes naturally.
Sample Encounter
EL 12: Several locals have been murdered and eaten. No one seems to be talking until an old Goblin woman with tears in her eyes asks to speak to the PC's.

Re: Orc/Goblinoid Resources
For anyone who wants to apply this to a goblin/orc campaign they run I have a funny idea. A tipical rule in a orc tribe is for the orc who kills the chief orc to become the new chief. Now what if an orc kills himself this would result in his corpse being chief forever (however I doubt that the orcs would keep fallowing this dead chief unless for some reson the tribe was lawful and respeted there tradition).

Re: Orc/Goblinoid Resources
There was an alien species in the Animorphs books which always killed their ship's captain so he/she could never make mistakes. How exactly this worked out remains a mystery, but a simmiler thing could be done here.

Re: Orc/Goblinoid Resources
minor updates
Goblin Mom has capstone. anyone have thoughts on it?
Cieyin anything you think needs added feat wise to the goblin shooter?
Inspired by Dr. Orpheus who has my massive apologies for taking so long
ZOMBIE CHIEF
"This is the second barrel of elf hearts the Chief has asked for. I think he may have a problem."
"You can get addicted to elf hearts?"
"You can if you're dead."
The many orc tribes know only one universal rule "With great power comes the additional power of being the leader", but they probably use fewer words. Some orcs convince themselves that suicidal acts are the best way to display their powers, and die while becoming the chief or not long after. If there is no clear successor there is occasionally a backup plan to secretly raise the Chief from the dead if Resurrection is not a possibility. Sometimes Chiefs purposefully undergo the rituals necessary after committing suicide as traditionally killing the old Chief is how you become the new one. Hard to kill a dead man isn't it?
BECOMING A ZOMBIE CHIEF
There is a plan in place to have yourself raised as a flesh eating undead monster after your death. Obviously you haven't thought through the implications of becoming a horrifying parasitic monster, which should disqualify you as being a leader in most cases, but Orcs aren't picky.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Special: Must have killed self in what was regarded a startling act of stupidity only to come back as an Undead. You must have also been the Tribal Chieftain.
Race: Orc
Skills: Intimidate 8 ranks
Feats: Leadership, and any one of the following Feats from Libris Mortis: Contagious Paralysis, Daunting Presence, Death Master, Empowered Ability Damage, Endure Sunlight, Energy Resistance, Eviscerator, Improved Energy Drain, Improved Paralysis, Improved Turn Resistance, Life Drain, Lifebond Life Sense, Necrotic Reserve, Positive Energy Resistance, or Undead Leadership.
Templates: Requires any Undead template allowing you to be Corporeal, and pass as still living (just possibly really ill). Corpse Creature from the Book of Vile Darkness is surprisingly common. The Chief's retainers simply restrict access to him. Other possibilities are Crypt Spawn, Curst, Death Knight, Dread Warrior, Gravetouched Ghoul, Juju Zombie, Necropolitan, Swordwraith, or Vampire.
Class Skills
The Zombie Chief's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Bluff (Cha), Climb (Str), Concentration (Con), Diplomacy (Cha), Hide (Dex), Intimidate (Cha), Jump (Str), Knowledge (Local)(Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Sense Motive (Wis), Spot (Wis), Swim (Str), and Tumble (Dex)
Skills Points at Each Level : 4 + int
Hit Dice: d12
Code:BAB Fort Ref Will Abilities 1. +1 +0 +0 +2 Necrotic Endurance 2. +2 +0 +0 +3 Necrotic Power 3. +3 +1 +1 +3 Unholy Terror 4. +4 +1 +1 +4 Necrotic Endurance 5. +5 +1 +1 +4 Necrotic Power 6. +6 +2 +2 +5 Unholy Terror 7. +7 +2 +2 +5 Necrotic Endurance 8. +8 +2 +2 +6 Necrotic Power 9. +9 +3 +3 +6 Unholy Terror 10.+20 +3 +3 +7 Death Chieftain
Necrotic Endurance (Ex): At 1st Level you use your Charisma Modifier in place of your Constitution Modifier for everything it would normally be used for unless it would be negative in which case you get a +1 Modifier.
At 4th Level if you gain +4 Turn Resistance (If you already have Turn Resistance you gain Turn Immunity instead). If you have Turn Immunity you increase your Charisma Modifier by 1 for purposes of your 1st Level Ability (or if you only have a +1 Mod due to low Cha it's now +2).
At 7th Level you no longer cease functioning at 0 hp, but at -10, and you can act and fight normally when at 0 or less hp.
Necrotic Power (Su): At levels 2, 5, and 8 you may choose 1 power from the following list if you meet the prerequisites:
Iron Skin (Ex)(Prerequisite is Natural AC Bonus or Damage Reduction): Choose one: either increase your existing DR by 5 or if you have no DR increase your existing Natural Armor Bonus by +5.
Enhanced Dark Vision (Ex): The range of your Dark Vision increases to 90'.
Unholy Rage (Su)(Prerequisite is Rage): Half the damage you deal in melee attacks is Untyped while you are Raging.
Unholy Curse (Su)(Prerequisite is Curst Template): You may cast Bestow Curse a number of times per day equal to your Charisma Modifier (minimum 1) as a Supernatural ability. Anyone 'slaying' you is automatically subjected to this ability and receives no Save.
Lifesense (Su): You may automatically sense Living creatures within 100' as though they had Blindsight. You also automatically know the strength of their life force as if you had cast Deathwatch.
Strike Dumb (Su) (Prerequisite is Level 6 Zombie Chief): The Zombie CHief may psychically assault victims to render them speechless. As a Full Round Action it may choose 1 opponent within 30 feet, and that victim must make a Willpower Save (Save DC is 10 plus 1/2 HD plus Cha Modifier) or be rendered incapable of revealing anything it knows about the Zombie Chief, as well as being mute. Only Break Enchantment, Dispel Evil, Miracle, Wish, or a similar spell will restore the lost memories.
Empowered Rage (Su)(Prerequisite is Rage and a Special Attack doing negative energy damage, Energy Drain, Paralysis, Disease, or Strength Damage): Anytime you successfully use your Special Attack, the duration of your current (or next use) of Rage increases by +3 rounds.
Unholy Strength (Ex)(Prerequisite is template giving bonus to Str): Permanently increase your Strength by +4.
Unholy Persuasion (Ex): Permanently increase your Charisma by +4.
Fangs of Death (Ex): You gain a Primary Bite Attack doing 1d6 plus Str Modifier.
Gnaw (Ex)(Prerequisite is Fangs of Death): If you successfully hit with your Bite Attack, you may immediately make a Grapple Check as a Free Action without provoking an Attack of Opportunity. If successful you do your Bite damage each turn you maintain the Grapple.
Spell Resistance (Ex): You gain Spell Resistance equal to 15 plus your Zombie Chief Level.
Enhanced Spell Resistance (Ex)(Prerequisite is Spell Resistance): Your Spell Resistance increases by +5.
Fast Healing (Ex): You gain Fast Healing 5.
Regeneration (Ex)(Prerequisite is Fast Healing): Your Fast Healing becomes Regeneration instead. Your regeneration doesn't work against Fire, Acid, Silver, or Cold Iron (choose one when you get this ability.
Improved Abyssal Blast (Su)(Prerequisite is Abyssal Blast): All of the damage from your Abyssal blast is considered divine now, so spells protecting against fire do nothing to help against it.
Energy Drain (Su)(Prerequisite is touch attack doing negative energy): Your Primary Natural Attack (choose 1 if you have more than one) now causes your enemies to gain a negative level.
Improved Energy Drain (Su)(Prerequisite is Energy Drain): Your Primary Natural Attack (choose 1 if you have more than one) now causes your enemies to gain an additional negative level.
Improved Paralysis (Su)(Prerequisite is special attack causing paralysis): Save DC of this attack is now +2 (this stacks with Feats that would normally increase Save DC's like Ability Focus).
Improved Disease (Su)(Prerequisite is special attack causing disease): Save DC of this attack is now +2 (this stacks with Feats that would normally increase Save DC's like Ability Focus).
Improved Control Resistance (Ex)(Prerequisite is Resist Control ability): You become immune to the Control Undead spell.
Improved Strength Damage (Su)(Prerequisite is a special attack doing Str damage): Your Strength Damage Special Attack now does Strength Drain instead.
Improved Blood Drain (Ex)(Prerequisite is Blood Drain): For 1 hour after you successfully Drain blood, all rolls made by yout are at +2
Improved Energy Resistance (Ex)(Prerequisite is Energy Resistance): Increase one form of Energy Resistance you possess by 10 (i.e. if you have Cold Resistance 10, it's now 20).
Turn Immunity (Ex)(Prerequisite is Turn Resistance): You are now immune to Turn/Rebuke Undead attempts.
Unholy Terror (Su): At Level 3 you begin to terrify opponents, and gain Frightful Presence. Whenever you make a Special Attack or Charge your opponent must make a Willpower Save (DC is 10 plus 1/2 Hit Dice plus Charisma Modifier) or be Shaken for the duration of the encounter.
At Level 6 this increases to effect every living Opponent within 30'.
At Level 9 instead of being Shaken the opponents are Frightened for 1d6 rounds.
Death Chieftain (Su): Undead Orcs that are Allies within 30' of you gain a Bonus to Turn Resistance, Fortitude Saves, and hit points per die equal to your Charisma Modifier (minimum +1).
PLAYING A ZOMBIE CHIEF
At the time you conceived the idea of becoming an immortal killing machine it sounded pretty good. Since then you've had time to ruminate on some of the downsides. Food and beer have lost their flavor. Relations with the wife and concubines are pretty rare to say the least. Plus you have a tendency to create more monsters like you in moments of passion.
Combat: Combat generally isn't much different than when you were alive. It consists of the usual roaring unintelligibly and charging into melee flailing wildly. Unless you have some powers.
Advancement: Advancement depends a lot on what sort of Undead you are, and your personal goals after the mind shattering experience of becoming a soulless fiend. Given your upbringing you generally immediately attempt to acquire physical or supernatural power.
Resources: You're the Chief of an Orc tribe. Their resources are your resources.
ZOMBIE CHIEFS IN THE WORLD
"Does Surt look a little pale to you?"
You are the man. The dead man, but still the man. Your wife sometimes disagrees but you find eating her brain and getting a new wife has cheered you up immensely. A lot of people have objections to you being the tribe's leader, but since they haven't found a way to get rid of you they'll just have to suck it.
Daily Life: Your daily life involves trying to somehow either hide your condition from the tribe or violently putting down the inevitable rebellion when it's found out you like to eat the living. Plus you have the usual added headaches of planning the usual nightly affairs.
Notables:
Organizations: You're a tribal warchief. You are an organization in it's smallest sense other than being a gang leader.
NPC Reaction
NPC reactions can generally be descirbed as "AAAAAH", but to be honest they were kinda like that when you were alive so you really don't notice much difference.
ZOMBIE CHIEFS IN THE GAME
This assumes one of the PC's is a current or former leader of a tribe, which will tend to put him in the spotlight more than a little even if her weren't an undead monster.
Adaptation: Could be used in serious or silly campaigns.
Encounters: PC's will encounter you generally in wartime, sneaking out from your tribe to prey on the living, or after having been cast out for being a monster. Generally it will not end well.
Sample Encounter
EL 12: Give the encounter level and description of a sample member of this class and a stat block for him/her.

Re: Orc/Goblinoid Resources
In the example I spoke of the chief just died and did not come back. My players expected some sort of boss, but I had not even planed for them to fight orcs. Your idea is cool as well. Maybe the orc chief everyone thought was dead is undead. It may be going through some sort of undead sleep? Not many undead sleep, the vampire might sleep or maybe it sits in its coffin so it avoids sunlight during the day.

Re: Orc/Goblinoid Resources
I'm not sure what the Goblin Bomber's intended entry is, except perhaps Bard or Rogue. I was thinking building off of the PF Gunslinger class, which I suppose is a bit further afield but does simplify the firearm proficiency part to just Exotic Weapon Proficiency(Firearms). If sticking with this current course, I'd suggest raising the skill ranks to 8 unless you're aiming at cross-class and throwing in Point Blank Shot.

SpoilerThe following is an initial concept I have/had for some goblinoid atttackers that strike from below...
Thoughts?
They live underground and popup from underneath you, striking from no where, and everywhere...
Gobber Gophers and golinoid hunanoids that live underground, digging and burrowing through the ground. They attack their prey by springing up from their tunnels and attacking and slipping away back into their tunnels. Or setting deadfalls that their prey fall into and attacking anyone that lives who fall into one.

Popup: A Gobber can popup from a hidden(or open) tunnel and make a single attack at an opponent with-in 5' of the of the tunnel opening as a standard action.
Burrow 10': A Gobber gains a burrow speed of 10'. If they already have a burrow speed they gain an additional +10' to their burrow speed.
Low Cover 5': While in an open tunnel(one that has been popped/exposed) a Gobber Gopher gains Low Cover benefit from any creature further than 5' away (i.e. 10' or 2 hexes) from the entrance to the hole granting a +4 to AC and +2 to Reflex Saves. This benefit does not apply to any opponents within 5' of the hole opening.
Dive to ground: At 2nd level Gobber can as a free action dive to ground diving back into an open tunnel within 10' 1 per day. At 4th level and every 2 levels there after a GG can Dive to ground an additional time per day.
Chosen Foe: A Gobber Gopher of 6th level gains the bonus feat of Chosen Foe.
Shadowborn Warrior: A Gobber Gopher of 6th level gains the bonus feat of Shadowborn warrior.
Jump Out: A Gobber can jump out from a hidden(or open) tunnel and make a single attack at an opponent with-in 10' of the of the tunnel opening as a standard action.
Burrow 20': A Gobber gains a burrow speed of 20'. This replaces their burrow speed of 10'. If they already had a burrow speed from another source they add another +10' to their burrow speed for a total adjustment of +20'.
Popup Pounce: A Gobber can popup from a hidden(or open) tunnel and make a full attack as a full round action at an opponent(s) with-in 5' of the tunnel opening.
Cover 5': At 5th level while in an open tunnel(one that has been popped/exposed) a Gobber Gopher gains Cover benefit from any creature further than 5' away (i.e. 10' or 2 hexes) from the entrance to the hole allowing them to now make hide checks and does not provoke any attacks of opportunity.
Jump Out 10' Pounce: A Gobber can jump out from a hidden(or open) tunnel and make a full round attack at an opponent with-in 10' of the of the tunnel opening as a full round action.
Total Cover 5': At 9th level while in an open tunnel(one that has been popped/exposed) a Gobber Gopher gains Total Cover benefit from any creature further than 5' away (i.e. 10' or 2 hexes) from the entrance to the hole.
Earth Glide 10': At 10th level a Gobber Gopher can move through the earth as easily as an Earth Elemental gaining earth glide ability. This allows them to Jump up and out of their tunnels without breaking the ground surface keeping their tunnels hidden from above. They can only move though up to 10' of earth per round using this ability. Even though this is normally a movement action this earth glide ability can be used in conjunction with other Gobber Gopher abilities, but only once per round and it does not increase any range of such abilities. For instance, if a GG is hiding in a closed/sealed tunnel just below the surface, they can use their Earth glide ability to jump out and pounce on an opponent within 10' (not 20') leaving the tunnel still sealed. They would not then be able to Dive to Ground in that round as a free action because it is not an open tunnel and they have already used their Earth glide ability this round. They could though Dive to ground next round using their Earth Glide ability back into the closed tunnel since they have not used their earth glide yet that round.
PLAYING A GOBBER GOPHER
Combat: Gobber Gophers are the quick strike force of the goblioid armies. The hide in wait underground until a force approaches and the jump out in numbers striking quickly then retreat back to their holes to later strike again.
Advancement:
Resources: Gobber Gophers like short/small (finessible) weapons, and usually wear light armor as Heavy armor is restrictive in tunnels, relying more on their quickness, than brute force.
GOBBER GOPHERS IN THE WORLD
Strike where it hurts! From below!
You never know where those suckers will be, the popup from no where and strike you and then disappear down their little holes...
Daily Life: When not attacking predators, Gobber Gophers are often used as miners or tunnel diggers for underground colonies.
Notables: Make up some cool information about notable figures in the history of your class. It's best to give a little information from one of the good alignment and evil alignment (unless it's a good or evil only class).
Organizations: Gobber Gophers usually form squads and attack in groups, often setting pitfalls around where they plan to attack so if either their prey try to retreat or follow, those that survive the initial attack quickly fall into a deadly trap.

Re: Orc/Goblinoid Resources
Goblin Crit-Sickle
Exotic Weapon: Goblin
light
Range: Melee
Damage: 1d6 (Medium size)
Type: 1-H Slashing and Piercing
Crit: 17-20/x3
Ammo: None
Notes:
Most commonly used by small-sized goblins so it's damage is usually only 1d4, at medium size however it would be 1d6 damage as indicated.
The high crit-range of this weapon is only applicable to creatures, which are either one size higher or one size lower then the weapon size. a Medium Crit-sickle will only have a 17-20/x3 crit range on a large, medium, or small sized creature, anything beyond large or small will simply be a 20/x2 crit range.
Tired of being pushed around by pretty much everyone all the time, a large group of the most intelligent goblins got together to try and figure out a solution. While they could not figure out a permanent solution at the time, they were at least able to design a new weapon to help them fight back against their larger opponents, a weapon which while still weak, was capable of dealing large amounts of damage if it struck the right spot. Thus was born the Crit-Sickle.
While still a sickle by nature and name, the crit-sickle is designed to be more like a saw in combat, one simply wraps the sickle's curved blade around a limb or neck, digs it's many spikes into the flesh, then pulls on the blade in a circular motion to rip and tear at as much flesh and bone as possible before jamming the primary spike into what is hopefully a major vein or artery.
It’s not a permanent solution, but it's a start.
Spoiler
And with that, i have created at least one weapon for each primary Goblinoid type, and finished all my plans for doing so. It's good to be free!Avy by Thormag

Re: Orc/Goblinoid Resources
Vlos do you have the Underdark book that has the tunnel fighting feats? You could use some of them instead of Mobility as prerequisite feats/
