Rare is the goblin that survives more than a few battles, and rarer still is its veteran status acknowledged by other goblins. Those veterans command the respect of lesser goblins, who believe it possesses magic that aids in its survival. This view is not entirely inaccurate, as most such veterans study bardic magic to imbue their inferiors with the drive to fight on when faced with powerful foes. Other goblinoids view these veterans as helpful allies, as the harder the weak goblins fight, the fewer casualties the rest of the host suffers. |
