Posted Oct 1, 2020They do, but not to the point where it is mechanically significant (at least, not for Goblins acclimatized to the surface).

Posted Dec 5, 2020If you have Volo’s Guide to Monsters you should have access to the Goblin race. They also appear in Wildmount, Ravnica, Ebberon and other sources.

Posted Jan 8, 2021Devils (like all fiends) are intrinsically evil. HOWEVER, because each devil was once a mortal who either was LE in alignment or had made a deal with a devil, or was once an angel who fell to evil, then they are possible to become redeemed. But when a devil stops being LE, they stop being a devil. However, some "fallen angel" fiends (such as succubi) don't stop looking like fiends when they are redeemed, meaning they become celestials that look like fiends.
Point is, devils won't be good for as long as they are devils.

Posted Feb 11, 2021This is great to have in the basic rules! I have a monster manual, but sometimes using this is nice. I always use goblins in the start of my campaigns.

Posted Feb 23, 2021While that is true, devil's are deal makers, meaning that if they really wanted someone's soul then they might do anything to get it.

Posted May 30, 2021In my session today my Wizard and my friend’s Dragonborn Ranger killed 390 goblins. The first 30 were needed to progress the story, but then the DM made us kill 60 more who were terrorizing people in the city looking for who killed the 30 goblins.
Then the Ranger, who had 20 Charisma, convinced my Wizard to help kill 300 goblins in a 50 foot diameter stronghold. We combined Fireball with the Ranger’s Lightning breath weapon, and our DM ruled that it increased the AOE of the attack enough so that it filled the entire stronghold. Every single goblin died.
Also the DM said that we saw a 1 legged goblin orphan, who’s entire extended family was killed, begging for money. They didn’t know our character’s did it. We gave him 5 gold and a dagger, and apparently he used the dagger for a peg leg.
I don’t want to kill any more goblins for a while.
And I’m going to make a Goblin Rouge with a Sword Leg who’s entire extended family was killed by Fireballs and Lightning Breath as a character eventually.

Posted Jun 5, 20211: That's up to you, in my world different subtypes of goblins have different heirerchies. However, one of the books; either Modikins Tome of Foes or Volos Guede to monsters does expand on their base lore quite a bit if you are interested.
2: They don't have pack tactics or anything if that's what you're asking, but you can always make slightly homebrewed goblins. (See DmG on monster customization.)
3: Yes, they are a playable race added by extra content.
