Description
Goblins are small, black-hearted humanoids that lair in despoiled dungeons and other dismal settings. Individually weak, they gather in large numbers to torment other creatures.
I was just noticing this, as a novice DM. I'm assuming that a Goblin attacking with a shortbow should be treated as AC 13 instead of the AC 15 in the stat block unless they later use an action to don the shield.

Let me tell you now, playing a goblin cleric is not a wise decision. For obvious reasons. I just so happened to get landed with a. Preset char that is absolute ass. My DM must hate me.

As one of goblin's biggest fans, I think I can answer your questions!
1) Volo's Guide to Monsters has an entire section on goblinoids and their society. Check it out, it's pretty neat!
2) Goblins, since they are weak on their own, are generally most effective in groups. This is Partially due to the action economy. However they don't get any group oriented abilities such as sneak attack or pack tactics.
3) Yep! My own character is actually a goblin! Goblin PC stats can be found under Monserous races in Volo's guide to monsters
what about boblin?
This is a great starter for level 1 campaigns

I remember there was the smell of a dead animal just before the three of them jumped out at me. Flat faces, broad noses, pointed ears, and small, sharp fangs… Goblins! Their rusty blades sliced at my armor before they dashed away. I chased one bringing my broadsword to bare. It raised its puny wooden shield but my aim was true and I caught it between its ratty leather armor and its neck. Blood spurt for a moment before its yellow eyes closed for the last time. Now where’d the other two run off?
no it dose not
It does doesn’t it
Goblins are an interesting race.
On the one hand, they area tragic tale of degeneration, with lingering scraps of past civilization that hint at a possible redemption, at least on the individual level.
One the other hand, they eat people.
One of my players attempted to set fire to a hoard of goblins at lvl 1
I thought it sounded an awful lot like Crispin Freeman.
BBachmeier101, you could try looking in the Homebrew section, or you could make all that yourself. That's the beauty of DnD - it's YOUR game. You can do what you want.
the one cursed thing about this image is the fact that the goblin isn't green. I know that the color of a goblin isn't a fact, but general acceptance is more powerful than you think.
I agree, they should be green
