Wizard: Unlike Artificers, Wizards donвЂ™t naturally get access to any armor, so the light armor proficiency from Martial Training will do wonders for survivability. Warlock: Warlocks need CHA to be effective. Sorcerer: Sorcerers need CHA to be effective.

Rogue: Arcane Tricksters are interested in INT, though without DEX a Rogue may struggle. Ranger: Rangers need DEX to be effective. Paladin: Paladins are too multi-ability score dependent to choose a Hobgoblin.

Monk: Monks need DEX or WIS to be effective. Despite this, a lack of STR or DEX may be too much to overcome. Still, proficiency in martial weapons, a CON boost, and Saving Face could provide a good foundation for a Battle Smith Artificer.Д«arbarian: Barbarians need STR to be effective.Д¬leric: Clerics need some STR, DEX, or WIS to be effective.ДЇighter: Eldritch Knights are interested in INT, and Saving Face could help with reliability. Overall though, the Hobgoblin is really only viable for INT-based casters.ДЄrtificer: +2 INT would be much more appealing for the Artificer and the armor component of Martial Training is redundant. The HobgoblinвЂ™s ability score spread is not good for the majority of classes, but Martial Training and Saving Face could make things work. This trait works best the larger your party is (up to five), so if you arenвЂ™t playing with that many people it would be a good idea to recruit some NPCs or animal friends. Given that choice, being able to use it once per short rest is pretty powerful, especially when used to avoid failing a deadly saving throw. The bonus comes after you know you have failed your roll, meaning that you can save this ability for when you think you may change the outcome. Martial Training: Proficiency in two martial weapons and light armor opens up the door for options that many characters who choose the Hobgoblin wouldnвЂ™t otherwise have access to, namely INT-based casters. Speed: Hobgoblins have a standard walking speed of 30 feet.Дarkvision: Darkvision is always great, but its advantage can be ruined if your party members do not also have it. Size: Medium is the typical size of most races, and is neither good nor bad. For other classes, INT is usually a dump stat. That said, INT casters usually would rather see +2 INT over CON. Of course, INT-based casters need to focus on INT and always like CON for added HP. Hobgoblin TraitsДЄbility Score Increase: +2 CON and +1 INT is a strange spread of ASI.

Hobgoblins are a playable character race found in VoloвЂ™s Guide to Monsters. In fact, a Hobgoblin would rather die than be called a coward. Glory is earned by honoring or aiding the legion in battle. Following orders and honoring the gods are non-negotiable rules in Hobgoblin society, and all are meant to help achieve their most important goal вЂ“ upholding the legion. Even in times of peace, Hobgoblin society is rich with military tradition, brutal laws, and a strict military hierarchy. If there is one thing Hobgoblins love, itвЂ™s war.
