What's a goblinoid?
« on: April 21, 2007, 06:11:03 pm »
I was looking at the description of the ascender's march boots and one of the things is an AC bonus against goblinoids.  I was wondering what qualifies as a goblinoid.  Obvously golins do but what other monsters fall into this category?  Kobolds?

According to LORE this is what is included, but it dose not say if this list is complete
 
 LORE: Goblinoids

That actually looks pretty complete. All variants of goblin and bugbear; wasn't sure about gnolls, but it seems they are.

Gnolls are not goblinoids in core rules.  They are Medium Humanoid (Gnoll) as oposed to a bugbear that is Medium Humanoid (Goblinoid)

Maybe this is a NWN thing, maybe Lore is in error on this. *shrugs*

I think that might be a 3.5 thing. Pretty sure that in NWN at least there is no "Humanoid" racial type (even though there is a humanoid category in the toolset.)

Kobolds are Reptilian Humanoids.

I can't think of anything else that's a goblinoid off the top of my head other than some uber obscure things that I remember from 2nd Ed.

That was what I was thinking... They're canids rather than goblinoids.
