Homebrew Autogoblin Species Details
Autogoblins are machined beings built by the hobgoblins. Occasionally, an autogoblin becomes separated from its creator due to a malfunction or a unique circumstance.
In most cases, autogoblins have been programmed to speak and understand Goblin. In the manufacture of an autogoblin, many different components can be used; one autogoblin might have a beating heart, while another might be powered by stardust or intricate clockwork.
Roll on the Autogoblin History table or choose an entry that you like to identify what event set you on the path to adventure. If none of the options on the table appeal to you, work with your DM to develop an origin story for your character.
The life expectancy of autogoblins tends to be longer than that of goblins, and they usually live for centuries, typically up to 500 years.
