Hobgoblin Chieftain
Hobgoblin, LE Medium Humanoid (Greenblood)
Complex Monster, XP 2000
Level 5 (+3)
"We had completely exhausted ourselves, but the caster had fallen as well. Of course, that is when we heard the rhythmic thumping of a giant metal Morningstar against the thick hands of their hulking leader. He grinned wildly, not even concerned for the loss of his people. He thought he had us beaten, and that was all that mattered."
——Sheryl Razorleaf, Half-Elven Archer
Only the toughest, strongest, and most battle-scarred Hobgoblins get to claim the position of Chieftain. The leader of the tribe is a skilled Warrior wielding heavy weapons to quickly take down challengers. He also lays claim to the best armor and will often be seen wearing at least a chain shirt for protection. Within Hobgoblin society, his orders are obeyed without question, and violent, public murder is considered an appropriate response to insubordination. This iron fisted approach to ruling is the only way that Hobgoblin tribes continue to work together, and all Chieftains understand this by the time they take command. It is no surprise then, that a good Hobgoblin leader frequently takes his people into battle, ensuring that they sate their bloodlust on other creatures instead of each other.
