Flamberge 03-03-05, 05:18 PM	I'm working on a racial paragon class for Hobgoblins, and wondering if this has already been done, or if anyone would like to make any suggestions. My DM and I have discussed the idea, and decided the hit die, attacks and saves should be based on the fighter class, given that this is the Hobgobins' favored class. We might give it a better reflex save, to reflect the hobgoblins' racial dex bonus. I'm not sure yet what special abilities should be given at each level. I think a "fighter" bonus feat at 2nd level would be good, followed by an ability boost at 3rd level, but should it be +2 Str or +2 Con? At 1st level, I'm considering "Goblin Affinity"; a bonus on charisma checks when dealing with any type of goblinoids (bugbears, goblins, hobgoblins). Should it be a flat +2, or a bonus equal to the character's levels in hobgoblin paragon? Finally, I'm really not at all sure about what class skills should be given. The skill points per level will only be 2+Int mod. Mostly, the class should have fighter skills, but hobgoblins have a racial bonus to Move silently, and the Monster Manual entry shows ranks in Listen and Spot, so should I include those as well? Many thanks for whatever input you'd like to offer. If this post needs to be in another forum, moderators, please move it at your convience. Thanks again. F.

Should it be a flat +2, or a bonus equal to the character's levels in hobgoblin paragon? Add Barghest to that list, and make it +2 plus paragon levels. Add a +1(per paragon lvl) to attack and damage rolls against elves(including half-elves). I'm not sure yet what special abilities should be given at each level. I think a "fighter" bonus feat at 2nd level would be good, followed by an ability boost at 3rd level, but should it be +2 Str or +2 Con? Maybe the fighter bonus feat at the first paragon level, +2 to STR at the second paragon level, and +2 to CON at the third paragon level.
