Zereth posted:Switch the roles of classes and stats. You have 15 Fighter, 13 Wizard, 7 Cleric, etc, and you are a Dexterity. You level up in Dexterity and get Dexteiry Features and learn Dexterity-specific feats, etc. ... Look, goblin thread, I have a lot of words I could post here about ability scores and how they interact with class based systems and are only needed in specific circumstances and why the big six specifically are a bad fit for a "generic" set of ability scores and it's taking a lot of restraint not to start typing and never stop. I'll probably type up a bunch in the chat thread this weekend and drop a link. But basically if you're making a goblin RPG with ability scores they should be stuff like "Sneakiness" and "Malevolence" rather than "Dexterity".

SniperWoreConverse posted:you could still have the same level of complexity, you're just shunting it into specific individual characters instead of genericized templates i guess. All that stuff you could still pregen and have in the book. Would probably be better for adventure-focused games, personal kinda scope. Something where like... Conan, for example, is both a warrior and a thief-robber sort of dude. Depending on setting it comes down to magic or not-magic. Not knocking you, different strokes for different folks and all, but it feels like you're looking for solutions to problems that aren't actually problems.

This seems to call for a Rock of Tahamaat style game where every goblin is (say) Craven, Cute, Mischievous, and Violent and the numbers just measure whether that's fortunate or unfortunate for the gobbo in question.

Any recommendations for cool goblin art books? I've been thinking of designing some goblins of my own, but I'd love some more input to get the creative juices flowing. I've found "The Goblin Companion" this far, but haven't pulled the trigger on it yet.

Zereth posted:Make every stat a weird synonym for speed. Dexterity, Agility, Fastosity, etc. There is absolutely no overlap between what each stat covers, or any particular logical relation between the things an individual stat covers. Ah, the FromSoftware approach.

Splicer posted:They're describing the concept of point buy bit refusing to call it point buy for some reason. i guess? i'm imagining it as having p much no stats at all somehow, even hp. If you have hp you have to spend a whole level up getting an entire 1 hp. Hp is basically your constitudtion anyway so you can just roll it as the same thing. Nostalgamus posted:Oh, great - it's a Skronky check, and I've put everything in Skree. imo if there's any synergy between the stats they might as well be the same one stat, each stat should govern major parts of the game. Hurrang and Garrung are entirely superfluous to the four perfect stats already established in the title

Ornery and Hornery posted:Love these goblins! Nice job They are from the Glimmers of Greed expansion to Dungeon Saga Origins by Mantic Games, but they're just PVC game pieces based on the hard plastic, multipart goblins for Mantic's Kings of War. You could easily use Kings of War models that you already have to play Dungeon Saga Origins if you didn't want to paint the pile of plastic in the box. I think they're fun models to paint in their own right and the detail is pretty good for PVC. I finished these bad boys yesterday as well.

lilljonas posted:Any recommendations for cool goblin art books? I've been thinking of designing some goblins of my own, but I'd love some more input to get the creative juices flowing. Arthur Rackham is a classic illustrator who has done stuff around fairies and nymphs and little gnomes etc... and also plenty of goblins. I dunno if there's like a goblins-only book though.   Another couple of illustrators along the same lines are Brian Froud and Alan Lee (they did "Fairies" together, and it has a fair number of obviously goblins in it)  Froud did a pop-up book called "Goblins" too:  Alan Lee has many goblin pics apparently   and also there's David Wenzel; this page about the artist shows a step by step hobgoblin illustration https://kathytemean.wordpress.com/2013/08/24/illustrator-saturday-david-thorn-wenzel/  And he has illustrated an edition of The Hobbit from 1977, with goblins in:

Hp is basically your constitudtion anyway so you can just roll it as the same thing. If you mean replace ability scores with different levels of mage/fighter/rogue then that's just ability scores by a different name. If you mean a pure point buy system where every single thing in the game is bought individually, there's issues with that that are a bit beyond the scope of this thread but are super fun to talk about! Anyway back to goblins. Can robots be goblins?
