Description

Hobgoblin appear to be corruptions of other races, mixed with a strange goblin-like visage. They usually appear to be squat, green-skinned, orange-haired beings with pinched faces, pointed ears, & certain vestiges of whatever race they were born as.

Procreation

They steal children of other races in order to make them into hobgoblins.

Magic

One in five million have soul magic. One in five thousand have heart magic. Mind magic, body magic, & void are possible. Faith is not uncommon.

Special Powers

Hobgoblin males are especially good at fading, becoming less visible, at will. Hobgoblin females are talented assimialtors, turning children into hobgoblins. They had the ability to sense which children were most loved--those more loved were more desirable, but harder to touch. Hobgoblins have an affinity for falcons. Some also have an added racial trait due to their origins.

Weaknesses

Love in any form hurts them.

Culture

Hobgoblins live in dark, hard-to-find tribes where they send out gatherers to capture children to bring back to be assimilated. They rove out in bands, travel the world, seeking the perfect children. Some tribes prefer certain types of children, others are not discriminate.

The Rite of Transformation is the term used for when a child becomes a full hobgoblin. It usually occurs the fifth year after their being stolen. Hobgoblins are referred to by themselves and other goblins as the Thorned Clan.
