Making a goblin character
So a friend of mine is starting a sort of mini-adventure where the players are goblins. Their villages have been raided recently by some adventurers and they seek revenge. I have no idea what to play and i would be grateful of any suggestions. Atm we have a ranger, a warlock and 2 others i don't know what they are. As usually i rolled bad so i have like 15 15 14 13 12 9 as my stats.

Re: Making a goblin character
First off, those are good stat rolls.
Second, I suggest a Swordsage. Pick up maneuvers and stances to make use of your small size, grab Shadow Hand to add Dex to your damage.
Grab Improved Trip and use the setting sun throw maneuvers, and enjoy the abject fun of watching a goblin hurl a human across the room.Gnoll Paladin with Zanbatou Avatar by Oregano.

Re: Making a goblin character
As always, full casters are great, although sorcerer and favored soul are probably classes you don't want to pick.
Goblins are actually pretty good as a race, being small but without any penalty to their speed.Visit the Chocolate Hammer IRC channel!

Re: Making a goblin character
Goblins make very good Rogues, +4 to Move silently and +4 size to Hide.

Re: Making a goblin character
Goblin rogue is good, but if you are starting at 1st level and continuing through lower brackets, a scout is much better. It's easier to get bonus damage and you get several highly useful class features right on.
There is no good and evil. There is only more and less.

Re: Making a goblin character
Druid, Cleric, Wizard. They don't lose much from Goblin-hood and would probably still win D&D even if they did. Cleric is probably the best fitting for flavour.

If you wanted to go all of them, go Factotum. It is pracically the same thing, only it doesn't make you die.
