![]() (Important note for dungeon masters and players: Darkvision does not nullify the penalty to sight-based Perception checks in dim light. They’ll also attack from hiding as much as possible, making use of their high Stealth modifier, and doing so in dim light decreases the likelihood that they’ll be discovered, since the many player characters will have disadvantage on Perception checks that rely on sight. They possess darkvision and the Nimble Escape feature, which allows them to Disengage or Hide as a bonus action- very important to their action economy.īecause of their darkvision, goblins will frequently attack under cover of darkness, when their targets may be effectively blinded (attack rolls against a blinded creature have advantage, while the blinded creature’s attack rolls have disadvantage). Their Intelligence and Wisdom are in the average range. They’re low-Strength and high-Dexterity, with a very good Stealth modifier. Here’s what we know about goblins from the Monster Manual: First, from the flavor text, they live in dark, dismal settings congregate in large numbers and employ alarms and traps. I’m going to start with lower-level monsters and work my way up, and my first case study will be the monster that players beginning with the Dungeons & Dragons fifth edition starter set are likely to encounter first: goblins.
