The D&D Hobgoblin diverging from British folklore stems from Tolkien taking the smol Brownies and Housewight helpers and making his Hobgoblins bigger and badder versions of goblins...who were also the Orcs.

@Rookzer0 4 года назад

That makes sence to me! Good summation

@shadeofthelamp1218 4 года назад

Hobgoblins (and Goblinoids in general) are one of my favourite parts of D&D for me. Their culture, temperament, etc, etc is just so interesting to me. One of my favourite characters I ever played was a Hobgoblin monk that ran a monastery full of Goblins.

@Rookzer0 4 года назад

That sounds fun, what was their temperment like?

@shadeofthelamp1218 4 года назад

@@Rookzer0 I went for a sort of 'reformist' Hobgoblin that was Lawful Neutral, wanting to move away from greed and lust for power to having control over themselves. Very sort of zen feel, but still rigid and disciplinarian.

@ovbrook3057 3 года назад

The thing with hobgoblins diverging from mythology is all because of Tolkien. See, although his orcs were interpreted as being different from goblins, in the original books, orc was just the elven word for goblin, so all goblins in middle earth were roughly man sized and buff, rather than their usual diminutive interpretation. And what's the bigger, meaner, more organized version of an orc/goblin? DnD Hobgoblins draw a lot more from the Uruk-hai, pretty much only borrowing the name from their original mythology

@bud389 2 года назад

D&D Hobgoblins have very little to do with Tolkien Hobgoblins. Orcs and Goblins aren't even related in D&D. Orcs in D&D were considered a completely separate race not just from goblins, but from humans and elves and dwarves as well.

@subsume7904 5 месяцев назад

@@bud389 where do you think DnD got the idea from? That's his point, Tolkien popularized many things. He's the creator of the idea of "Elves"

@bud389 5 месяцев назад

@@subsume7904 Elves existed before Tolkien. The only thing Elves in D&D borrowed from Tolkien were their "types" (Namely Wood Elves and Gray Elves). Secondly I'm not sure what "idea" you're referring to. The idea of separate races? Because Robert E Howard did that before Tolkien.

I have a Hobgoblin spellcaster NPC named Valero. He is a grump who isn't a big fan of bloodshed, finding it too messy and unorganized. Sword in one hand, spellbook in the other, he is more of a begrudging assistant to the party. He's actually a sidekick using the new rules. Very fun.

My first D&D character was a Hobgoblin Hexblade Warlock I named Mevrit, that we played all the way till lvl 20, ending the game just as Covid hit. A lot of fun being a hobgoblin, and that saving face ability came in clutch SO often. Worshiped the Eldritch god Hastur who gifted his followers with a piece of his yellow robe which would in turn be bound to a weapon to transform it into the hex blade itself. Based his voice on Zaeed Massani from Mass Effect, which i got pretty good at imitating as we went on. Super fun, and I would love to return to the character some day for some more epic level character adventures.

Omg Im doing a Hobgoblin War Magic Wizard and it fits so well it almost feels criminal. I have moderately armored so I have 17AC, And I can potentially just choose to not fail a saving throw by giving myself a fucking +9. That and them having 20CON makes me so excied to play them! Its this wonderful blend of an almost fighter with all the spellcasting in the world.

I've got a build for adventurers league that is a champion fighter devotee of umberlee. He is actually an NPC that the players knocked out in the haunted house of Saltmarsh, then found out he wasn't all bad and gave him a second chance at life as a sailor aboard their vessel. The triton cleric to Umberlee in the party converted him and taught him Common, so he has a special place in his heart for those who look after the downtrodden. He wields a reskinned maul that is actually a ship's oar with the great weapon fighting style.

i have a hobgoblin rogue character named Ronk and he's legit based on an uruk that kept killing me on shadow of war. yes his name was also Ronk. he was born to a shaman bloodline, but his weak magic forced him to join the legion. he served as a scout, but became insubordinate when a scarless (new to the legion so they have no battlescars. think "shinies" from Clone Wars cartoon". same concept) became captain of his squad and began making idiotic choices and ignored the advice of more experience soldiers. after Ronk's 6year term was over, instead of going back to a family that viewed him as a disappointment, Ronk left the tribe to prove himself in the wider world. Said wider world wasnt so forgiving, however, and Ronk soon was forced to use his scout training to steal and kill to survive. i have more on his backstory and a tie-end to why he became an adventurer, but i feel like this went on longer than necessary already so ill stop here.

@andrewpeli9019 3 года назад

I think hobgoblin is a very powerful player character race for casters. Light armor proficiency has the value equivalent of an extra feat if you don't already have it. +2 Con +1 Int are very relevant, especially to a wizard. Two martial proficiencies of your choice means you can wield a heavy crossbow and a rapier as martial backups in case the DM gets cute and throws some serious anti-magic mechanics your way. Saving face can be good, if you have many allies. Familiars are allies. Summoned creatures are allies. So again, another great synergy between this race and a wizard build.

@Rookzer0 3 года назад

Great breakdown, hobgoblins are awesome for any combat heavy character but you make a great point about the armor. Nice work

@andrewpeli9019 3 года назад

@@Rookzer0 Light armor is great, but having light armor already means access to medium armor (and shields) is just one feat away. Moderately armored is an amazing feat if you can put yourself at 11 or 13 dex and then pick it up. You get the +1 dex from the feat, which brings your AC up +1, plus a shield that brings it up +2 more, plus you can now wear half-plate. That's a massive 19 AC that a hobgoblin wizard can have as early as level 4 with just mundane items. And a hobgoblin being a medium creature means you can actually carry this without pumping strength if you manage your equipment closely. On top of that... you're a wizard... you have shield for +5 AC as a reaction for a 1st level spell slot. Now the wizard went from the squishiest character on the team to conditionally the most tanky. I love the idea of a wizard necromancer decked out with half plate and his skeleton army by his side.
