Homebrew Half-Hobgoblin Species Details

Ah, the young Lo-Rai boy. Emperor, he is now. He's earned it to, the young lad has fought off more assassins than any ruler to ever wear the crown, and nearly every man who tried to take that crown was one of his own clan who disproved of his heritage... — Iskandar Dragmir, advisor to the Oligarch

Half-Hobgoblins come from the union of a Human and a Hobgoblin. While they are rare due to prejudices, they all prove to be exceptional in any field they choose to master. 

Warriors For No Clans

 

Hobgoblins are a proud race, one who likes to keep their people strong. While Hobgoblin society abides by an Honor Code and stresses civility, they do care more for their own kind than other races. They may honor outsiders for their deeds, but outsiders they will stay. Half-Hobgoblins are seen as a representation of weakness for other races, letting humans intermingle with Hobgoblins and share status with them. Thus, Half-Hobgoblins often are treated as lower caste members of their legions and families and are often driven to exile.

Proven Honor

 

 

Half-Hobgoblins usually keep parts of the Hobgoblin Code, but choose to apply them to individuals instead of as a set of laws. Due to their shunned existences, they appreciate and return respect when they are given it and will quickly bond with anyone who chooses to reach out to them. Having a Half-Hobgoblin friend is a very valuable thing that no creature should take for granted

 

Half-Hobgoblin Names

 

Half Hobgoblins normally take Hobgoblin first names, but often choose to keep their human parent's last name. However, names from either culture can be used.
