Homebrew City Goblin (V2) Species Details
City Goblins are the few goblins that live among other folk. After a family of goblins is raised in a civilized environment for a long enough time, a strange phenomenon occurs known among goblins simply as The Smartening. The Smartening is an occurrence that leads to a complete change of personality, culture, and mindset among goblins, causing them to become skilled and intelligent workers who often excel at tasks other humanoids find difficult and tedious. This is likely a result of how unusually adaptive goblins are, simply acclimating to society as they would any other environment.
