Hobgoblins are big, burly, and hairy humanoids that stand over six feet tall. Basically overgrown goblins, hobgoblins use their bigger size and greater strength to their advantage. They've become skilled combatants, with more personal combat skill and a greater sense of organization. Common hobgoblin troops wield pikes or spears, and they've been well-trained in their use to be able to trip and knock down their foes. More veteran hobgoblins such as lieutenants and sergeants frequently take up dual wielding. They rely on quick strikes, frequently on already prone opponents. Finally, hobgoblin leaders and chiefs enforce discipline with mighty two-handed weapons.
