The D&D Hobgoblin diverging from British folklore stems from Tolkien taking the smol Brownies and Housewight helpers and making his Hobgoblins bigger and badder versions of goblins...who were also the Orcs.
That makes sence to me! Good summation
Hobgoblins (and Goblinoids in general) are one of my favourite parts of D&D for me. Their culture, temperament, etc, etc is just so interesting to me. One of my favourite characters I ever played was a Hobgoblin monk that ran a monastery full of Goblins.
That sounds fun, what was their temperment like?
@@Rookzer0 I went for a sort of 'reformist' Hobgoblin that was Lawful Neutral, wanting to move away from greed and lust for power to having control over themselves. Very sort of zen feel, but still rigid and disciplinarian.
This made me want to play a hobgoblin based off Vegeta bragging how he’s the superior race to all the low life goblins
That sounds about right for a hobgoblin!
first, and these videos make my day, such a creative mix of art and table top conversation i love it
Well done! And thank you
Currently playing a teenage chaotic good hobgoblin fighter who's biggest dream is to be the worlds greatest adventurer .
Sadly the quality art/lore is incredibly lacking for hobgoblins so I really appreciate this.
:) thank you, If you want to use the hobgoblin picture, you can download a copy of it on the patreon page for free.
The thing with hobgoblins diverging from mythology is all because of Tolkien. See, although his orcs were interpreted as being different from goblins, in the original books, orc was just the elven word for goblin, so all goblins in middle earth were roughly man sized and buff, rather than their usual diminutive interpretation. And what's the bigger, meaner, more organized version of an orc/goblin? DnD Hobgoblins draw a lot more from the Uruk-hai, pretty much only borrowing the name from their original mythology
D&D Hobgoblins have very little to do with Tolkien Hobgoblins. Orcs and Goblins aren't even related in D&D. Orcs in D&D were considered a completely separate race not just from goblins, but from humans and elves and dwarves as well.
@@bud389 where do you think DnD got the idea from? That's his point, Tolkien popularized many things. He's the creator of the idea of "Elves"
@@subsume7904 Elves existed before Tolkien. The only thing Elves in D&D borrowed from Tolkien were their "types" (Namely Wood Elves and Gray Elves). Secondly I'm not sure what "idea" you're referring to. The idea of separate races? Because Robert E Howard did that before Tolkien.
A female Hobgoblin paladin who's lost her legion and is now working with an enemy adventuring guild. She has to disguise herself so they might mistake her for an orc in order to stick around :)
I have a Hobgoblin spellcaster NPC named Valero. He is a grump who isn't a big fan of bloodshed, finding it too messy and unorganized. Sword in one hand, spellbook in the other, he is more of a begrudging assistant to the party. He's actually a sidekick using the new rules. Very fun.
YES! I'm so excited for the sidekick rules. I was just reading about them yesterday!
@@Rookzer0 planning to do a video on it? Haha
@@nimbus997 Maybe next year some time. Classes are on my list
You are very underrated... but your art is super cool... I just found this kinda recently when I was watching Broken Bonds for story ideas... and now I have character ideas too! This is great...
Hob means hog which explains why in the original mythology they had hog noses
Ah, very cool insight. Thank you
Which is also really gross and makes me sick :D
Rewatching this for like the 3rd or 4th time as I'm currently painting two Hobgoblin minis that I'd love to play as in game
Love the vids, especially to put on repeat in the background as I draw or paint minis
I'd love to see the minis when you're done. Feel free to post pics in the discord.
first ever roleplay character I played was a hobgoblin shaman in a Shadowrun oneshot. I had no idea what I was doing, but through the power of dumb luck in choosing my skillset I got an enviromental killcount in the dozens. Good times.
Wowza, nice work
Heh, thanks. Yeah, turns out Mana Barrier very much is an offensive skill in the context of a highway chase...
My first D&D character was a Hobgoblin Hexblade Warlock I named Mevrit, that we played all the way till lvl 20, ending the game just as Covid hit. A lot of fun being a hobgoblin, and that saving face ability came in clutch SO often. Worshiped the Eldritch god Hastur who gifted his followers with a piece of his yellow robe which would in turn be bound to a weapon to transform it into the hex blade itself. Based his voice on Zaeed Massani from Mass Effect, which i got pretty good at imitating as we went on.
Super fun, and I would love to return to the character some day for some more epic level character adventures.
Currently playing a Eldritch Knight Hobgoblin who was tricked into a life of servitude and effectively lost their honour. It's so much fun, I think they're the most fun I've had ever playing a character!
I was playing a hobgoblin draconic sorcerer for a while. I got him stuck in the Feywild. He was an assassin in his early life. He killed a silver dragon’s human wife and as punishment is being forced to become a good person. We do occasional cutaways to him in the Feywild and I plan to have him slip into his old ways a little since the dragon can’t find him there.
Nice, fun little way to retire a pc u like it
@@Rookzer0 We plan to bring him back. I think my DM likes my fill in character so he’s elongating it but I’m cool with it. He was an ice mage… in Icewind Dale.
Omg Im doing a Hobgoblin War Magic Wizard and it fits so well it almost feels criminal. I have moderately armored so I have 17AC, And I can potentially just choose to not fail a saving throw by giving myself a fucking +9. That and them having 20CON makes me so excied to play them! Its this wonderful blend of an almost fighter with all the spellcasting in the world.
Let's hope the dms of the world don't catch wind of this and sent them loose on the world.
i have a hobgoblin rogue character named Ronk and he's legit based on an uruk that kept killing me on shadow of war. yes his name was also Ronk. he was born to a shaman bloodline, but his weak magic forced him to join the legion. he served as a scout, but became insubordinate when a scarless (new to the legion so they have no battlescars. think "shinies" from Clone Wars cartoon". same concept) became captain of his squad and began making idiotic choices and ignored the advice of more experience soldiers. after Ronk's 6year term was over, instead of going back to a family that viewed him as a disappointment, Ronk left the tribe to prove himself in the wider world. Said wider world wasnt so forgiving, however, and Ronk soon was forced to use his scout training to steal and kill to survive. i have more on his backstory and a tie-end to why he became an adventurer, but i feel like this went on longer than necessary already so ill stop here.
That sounds like a pretty good source for character inspiration. Great additions, i hope the game goes well!
If you want food in your D&D campaigns, Delicious in Dungeon is made for you.
i will check it out!
Im hoping to make a Hobgoblin Bard who acts like a warchief and boosts his allies for victory. I saw this Central African Lyre made out of a human skull, intestines, and antelope antlers. I cant wait to make this intellegent and screeching Hobgoblin boosting his allies and riding a Worg >:)
War banners need more love in dnd.
“Does falling from the sky count as mounted if you’re using a lance” - Rookzer0
The absolute Tomfoolery of those sentences. But the image of some random ripped adventurer falling from the sky with a lance is amazing
“Dear Adventurer we regret pissing you off, we regret burning down your village, and we most definitely regret the circumstances which led to these next moment”
- sgt Johnson UNSC
1. Excellent usage of the word Tomfoolery.
2. Sgt. Johnson quotes are always welcome!
I've got a build for adventurers league that is a champion fighter devotee of umberlee. He is actually an NPC that the players knocked out in the haunted house of Saltmarsh, then found out he wasn't all bad and gave him a second chance at life as a sailor aboard their vessel. The triton cleric to Umberlee in the party converted him and taught him Common, so he has a special place in his heart for those who look after the downtrodden. He wields a reskinned maul that is actually a ship's oar with the great weapon fighting style.
Bonus for the giant oar weapon
i love the hobgoblin race!! I currently playing as a hobgoblin barbarian in my current campaign!!!
Nice, any fun moments?
I love this. And I love the art being made as a video. 😊
I’m currently playing a young hobgoblin bard named Gill. I worked really heard on their backstory and they’re my favorite PC I’ve ever made
Always nice to hear people passionate about their characters and putting effort into them.
Fantastic art, bro. Earned a sub
Great to hear! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
@8:47 aaaaaand now that scene/song is stuck in my head. I love that movie.
I know right! Those moves influenced so much of my childhood and now into my adult life.
the creator of dekanters was an illithid, probably the dumbest one yet, but can be a major benefit having self-healing troops in battle
:D who wouldn't want auto regen on their troops?
I think hobgoblin is a very powerful player character race for casters. Light armor proficiency has the value equivalent of an extra feat if you don't already have it. +2 Con +1 Int are very relevant, especially to a wizard. Two martial proficiencies of your choice means you can wield a heavy crossbow and a rapier as martial backups in case the DM gets cute and throws some serious anti-magic mechanics your way. Saving face can be good, if you have many allies. Familiars are allies. Summoned creatures are allies. So again, another great synergy between this race and a wizard build.
Great breakdown, hobgoblins are awesome for any combat heavy character but you make a great point about the armor. Nice work
@@Rookzer0 Light armor is great, but having light armor already means access to medium armor (and shields) is just one feat away. Moderately armored is an amazing feat if you can put yourself at 11 or 13 dex and then pick it up. You get the +1 dex from the feat, which brings your AC up +1, plus a shield that brings it up +2 more, plus you can now wear half-plate. That's a massive 19 AC that a hobgoblin wizard can have as early as level 4 with just mundane items. And a hobgoblin being a medium creature means you can actually carry this without pumping strength if you manage your equipment closely. On top of that... you're a wizard... you have shield for +5 AC as a reaction for a 1st level spell slot. Now the wizard went from the squishiest character on the team to conditionally the most tanky. I love the idea of a wizard necromancer decked out with half plate and his skeleton army by his side.
This is great. I just started my hobgoblin Conquest Paladin, they make a good “ token evil” teammate.
Nice, let me know how that playes out. An evil paladin in a group sounds like a good time for pvp.
Feel free to use the image for your character sheet if it works.
Rookzer0 Thanks man! I’m making him a former Peacemaker, so he can whip this chaotic, unfocused party into shape.
@@Lenaseymour4323 awesome!
2:39, 6:56, These are canon in my game now. They're the leaders of 2 rival factions of druids and sorcerors
CHOW CHOW WILL RIDE AGAIN!
I have just found your channel. Love the content. Your art is exceptional! Love the ramblings too
Thank you!
You should have kept the weapon for this guy the flag lace in the early sketch very cool.
Just rolled up a hobgoblin rogue scout with a heavy crossbow and a whip. Weird rolls meant I ended up with 16 dex and 18 con and have more hp than the party’s paladin. . Should be interesting!
Ha ha that's awesome. A beefy bugbear I've heard of but a hulking hobgoblon is a new one
The noid sets up a chain of restaurants with drugs in their bread called Do'Minos
In real life mythology, a Hobgoblin is the offspring of a Goblin and an Elf.
The More You Know!
I'm going to have to look into that, cool info!
Thanks, I'll make good use of this :D
Pizza both does and doesn't exist in DND. what is required material components for pizza is bread dough d&d has bread. tomatoes to made into tomato sauce shouldn't be too hard to find. And cheese.. and with biology there are plenty of mammals in DND. cows.. goats.. you name it. You will also need an oven to cook the pizza in. We have the technology! But do we have the idea? Everything else is just a matter of toppings. And with that you don't have to copy Papa John's. Here's an interesting idea phase-spider Pizza!!
So what you're saying saying is i need to create an NPC named papa Xaun who is a drow obsessed with flat food. Maybe he starts out with something called the goblin delux and the part convinces him to use peperoni instead.
@@Rookzer0 if you want to freak out your party have a yuan ti pureblood invent Pizza!!! As they're menacing presence walks back and forth from the kitchen the party will be left wondering what's on the table!! Who's on the table!! Have them just come out of an encounter where a yuan ti just slaughtered an encampment!! (Different individual) Make the cook extremely likable friendly even! Let them Wonder if they're next on the menu or if the cook is a good person!! Maybe the cook help orchestrate their demise maybe she had nothing to do with it and just has an exotic taste in food? Either way it'll be interesting!!
I want one of these about DnD food now... :0
Pizza, in Italy, is more of a meat pie then the open face calzone that most pizza chains make up here on this side of the atlantic. So it wouldn't be that much of a stretch to make american pizza a thing in dungeons and dragons. It would just look more like a chicago deep dish pizza then a new york style pizza
Hobgoblin artificar, with multi-class of samurai = Spock.
That's awesome! Build it out, let me know how it plays!
@@Rookzer0 fascinating.
Every time I watch one of his videos I spend 50% of my brain power trying to figure out how he draws so well
Years of practice :)
Samurai Hobgoblin should make a good PC, or a really good NPC. What are you sketching in?
No, but like- they are kind of hot.
I AM JUST SAYING THERE IS POTENTIAL OKAY? Imagine a Young one? We only see older and worn out Hobgoblins, but imagine a mind 20's, early 30's? You tell me he wouldn't be a snack 😆
BTW, the art is beautiful
....I want to say you're wrong.... But I see it to xD
Two Hobgoblin gay male couple (a valor bard arcane archer and a drakewarden alchemist) supporting one's rising rap career through their brothel, selling illegal Ifrit's Azoth (Crystal Meth) and taking on mercenary jobs. Got caught and now a part of a Suicide Squad like team of felon mercenaries.
I wish the hobgoblin race abilities showed more of there cunning and strategic part of there lore, instead of the ,increase the chance to hit with someone depending on how many people are around you, I get it fits as there are natural leaders I guess, and don’t want to look bad in front of there team, but I feel like it was a missed opportunity.
I do think a lot of that cunning and stat can be in the RP, I'd definitely get them an easier dc to knowledge and persuasion rolls for battle plans and tactics.
👌🏻
excellent video...
My first Nat 20 came from killing a hobgoblin. I gave him a choice to give me the info I wanted, I stabbed him through his skull's center point, the area of the skull at the base of the nose and between the eyes.
Did you get the info?
@@Rookzer0 No. Kinda why I killed him. Got plenty of loot, though. Then we killed everyone else we could find, I burned the main tower. Fun times.
I have a Hobgoblin, College of Lore Bard
Great choice! What's the name?
@@Rookzer0 la'Khord Quintal
i've played a Hobgoblin Warmaster/Assassin multiclass named Skinner, part of a party made entirely of neutral evil characters, he had a double-handed scimitar and knife as well as a bow using a Thumb-Ring for the Mongolian style draw... i roleplayed him as grim and emotionless with a Russian accent
You should do a video on the leonin race if you already haven’t
I once Dming for a campaign that had Hobgoblins that I based slightly on the Spartans where children were trained to be soldiers from a young age, and the Captain of the Hobgoblin company my player met had three of his children under his command, but he had to act like he didn't know them because
*Hobgoblin tradition.
Sounds like you have a good option for a halo campagin
@@Rookzer0 I suppose so, especially if I have regular goblins as pyro grunts.
Lol love that song
Would make necromancer and number one would find a enormous creatures that's all bone and reanimat it and ride it insida in the ridcage. And a would let my goblin army have bone worlf and rid I sid them as well like tron bike. Build and create my own creatures like the uper body of a goblin and a body of wolf to make wolf goblin kentur. I can see them both in flesh zombi stil and all bone as well think that could be fun probebly more combo of creatures That could be made from diffent parts necromancy puppet builder giv goblins horns and tails bigger fangs and just be weird with it or jus transplant a Dwarf beard om some just to be a the c-word
War gob!
Yo I can’t believe this video only has 49 likes this needs to be fixed
:) I've been really happy with all the support for the community. Couldn't hurt to find a bigger audiance though.
Rookzer0 I think I have a way your my favorite TH-camr so I’ma try something
@@CrabDaddyOrJustGavin :) well thank you! I appreciate the effort, Let me know how it goes!

All Goblins are basically Poodles.

Is hobgoblin another word for love without racial boundaries? Lol

I got a Hobgoblin cloistered scholar character who is a runaway Devastator. He hated every second of their military lifestyle and ran away with his spell books. Now he's constantly on the run from Iron Shadows for desertion.
Great character idea
