Homebrew Tohrling Species Details

(Kobold/Goblin)

Truly resounding results of male kobolds crossbreeding with female goblins, tohrlings defy many races expectations. Tohrlings are often the result of alliances between kobold and goblin tribes as a method to increase the tribes’ strength. Because all tohrlings are born fraternal twins, the tribes agree to each take one. Like their parents, they grow quickly, but they do not stop growing until later in their long lives. This results in massive, kobold-like creatures with goblin heads and gangly awkward limbs. Natural leaders due to their innate force of personality, tohrlings are often called kobold kings or goblin kings depending on their tribe.

• Ability Score Racial Traits: While their awkward build prevents the natural nimbleness of their forebears, Tohrlings’ heartiness and force of personality make the exemplary leaders. They gain +2 Constitution, +2 Charisma, and -2 Dexterity.

• Size: Tohrlings are Large sized and take a –1 size penalty to their AC, a –1 size penalty on attack rolls, and a +1 bonus on combat maneuver checks and to their CMD.

However, tohrling sorcerers with the elemental (fire) bloodline treat their Charisma as +2 for the purposes of their bloodline.
