Trait Descriptions

Magically altered terrain affects them normally.
City Scavenger: Goblin clans within the boundaries of cities typically survive by scavenging for refuse and hunting stray animals. Characters with this trait gain a +2 cultural bonus on Perception and Survival checks, and can use Survival to forage for food while in a city.
