Hobgoblin

Introduction

Bearing neither the size of their Orc brothers nor the numbers of the Goblin menace, Hobgoblins find themselves on a different path than their Mohnagi kin. Guided by a strong connection to the Arcane like their First Men ancestors, Hobgoblins are often forced into the position of seers, priests, or magi of the Greenfolk.

Unfortunately for Hobgoblins, many of the Mohnagi strongly distrust any sort of magical practices leading many Hobgoblins to be treated as outcasts or freaks. Under this societal pressure many Hobgoblins have fallen into using their natural talent for magic in the very ways their kind is accused of.

Warped Heritage

As the Mohnagi curse gripped the very essence of the forebearers of the Hobgoblins, a twist began to form in their bloodlines. Where the First Men's strength in the Glow met with the wrathful curses brought by two Exarchs, a warp in all that is magical wove its way through the very cores of these folk and onwards to their progeny

Veins of the Realm

So intune with the realm you are able to feel the ebb and flow of arcane energies, using them as navigational markers and sources of power.

As an action, you can concentrate on the movement of Glow around you. Roll an Arcana (intelligence) check. If you roll 9 or lower, you learn your general location. If you roll over a 10, you learn your location and the location of places of power within 5 miles of you. If you roll over a 20, you learn your location, the location of places of power within 5 miles of you, and learn a cantrip of your choice for the next 24 hours.

Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
