Would you like to RP a goblin? Within the world of Accursed Lands, goblins seem to be the underdogs. Only a tiny pinchful of goblin chars in the entire game, yet some of the most fun to RP in my oppinion.
Information on the goblins of Terrinor:
The goblins of Terrinor are not blood-thirsty, axe wielding hulks or even evil by most definitions. However, they are grouches, bullies even. They feel the word went to pot to spite them, and nothing so far has proved it otherwise. Therefore they are sullen, and since most races tend to run them out of the good territory, they generally make their homes within mucky swamps or deep in unexplored forests.
They are little folk, and very scrawny, but with insatiable appetites. Perhaps 3 feet tall or so, most looking rather wasted, but they are one of nature's toughest characters. They will, and can, eat just about anything, even if its not quite edible... and even poison doesn't slow them down much. They are known mercenaries, doing most anythign for a farthing. Assassin, miner, bodyguard, herbalist, (food tester?), all are common goblin jobs, though in Accursed Lands they can try their hand at most anything (though not neccessarily getting anywhere with it.) bodyguards in particular are a job few players take.
Goblins generally tend to be very ambitious, the strongest and meanest bullies being the chiefs of the tribes. So to that which is stronger you cower, if its weaker, prey upon it. However, if the strong one turns his back, a club should do the trick. And remember, just because someone is not bright does not mean he is lacking in cunning. This sums up a goblin quite well. Advantage takers and opportunitists are also appropriate names.
Goblins also hate magic with a vengeance, not trusting it, though there is little that a goblin will trust (and this attitude is not unwarranted).
If you'd like to give goblins a shot (or any other race if they just don't suit you) Accursed Lands can be signed onto with the information below. Good luck, and watch out for the deer.
