  • Holt shit this is beyond incredible. I started reading and was glued. This is so inspiring and It’s ingrained into my mind now. If you want, I could help translate it it into Spanish!

    Thank you so much for sharing this project, it’s superb, incredible, magnificent, beyond words; it is fantastical and beautiful. It is an icon to strive towards!





  • My two cents: The step reaction, is an action in and out of itself; so you could chain multiple steps to keep goblins moving together.

    Alternatively; lets imagine a goblin beside a Barbarian; in a grid (G for goblin, B for Barbarian)

    Goblin1 is to the left of the barbarian. Goblin 2, comes from lower, coming right to the barbarian; it strides or steps into range, and ends just below the barbarian; within 5 feet of goblin 1 Goblin 1 can then use its scurry reaction to step; and it moves diagonally to the square over the barbarian. Now, Goblin 1 and goblin 2 are flanking Barbarian; Goblin 2 can now make an attack with better chance of damage.

    Funny thing; since the reaction can trigger another action (i believe so, but i may be wrong) you could have a line of warrior goblins; all stepping “at the same time” by reacting to the nearest ally stepping. Or a group of four goblins together, one steps outward; they can all follow by chain, or go in different directions.

    The cool thing about the scurry is that they can pretty much dance around a pc; it can be offensive or defensive, but is not as much movement as the kobold retreat

    Kobolds, as long as there’s some frontline, could go like this: PC is fighting some frontline that can take hits Kobold strides into pc’s range, making sure to flank Kobold attacks, which trigger their sneak attack extra damage to flat footed targets Kobold uses hurried retreat. It’s hit and run, but if there’s a bunch of kobolds, and they can get cover behind some terrain(which they 100% SHOULD DO, they should attack somewhere they can take cover behind large rocks, small cave passages etc)

    And in general, a lot of tips on strategy are relevant throughout many TTRPGs and Wargames, almost universally; Due to this, you can almost always extrapolate tactics from somewhere like " https://www.themonstersknow.com/ ", which is quite a good source for inspiration imo
