Goblins!

[Son_of_Jim]

I want to change everything to make a story centered around goblins.
vague plans...
-goblin unique jobs, sprites, and portraits.
-keep humans generic classes around for random encounters.
-keep other monsters around for "".

edit
i want to keep it down to 11 new jobs max, and two genders of goblin.
i figure i can just replace all the unique classes.

storywise, i want to start with a human patrol raiding a goblin nest/village, and our hero/ine escaping into the wilderness.  i don't want to be held back, so i'll need a new non-ivalice overworld map too.

edit
oh yeah, i forgot, recommend me some goblin job classes!

[Archael]

nice idea

I like

all goblins jobs huh

that means alot of new sprites

one for every job atleast

[Zozma]

now that id love to see! (but not do myself... lol)

[Archael]

goblin job ideas:

- Monster Caretaker (obviously goblins keep pets, pick a good name for this, but not Beastmaster, thats just a gay overused name), innate monster skill, train, monster talk, learns monster skills, all skills are blue mage style from monsters, powerful)
- Hunt Gobu (Bow, ranged DPS)
- Gob Lord (Warrior Tank, buffer)
- Herbalist (Uses vines / potions / medicines to attack and restore)
- Shaman (Status magic)
- War Gobu (Fighter type)
- Manslayer (male goblin only, Charms humans, breaks their gear with spells, and melee range statuses, fast, dps, low hp)
- Sacred (female goblin only, full team goblin buffs, high hp, strong physical)
- Tribe Seeker (ninja type goblin, but can equip 2x crossbows and longbows)
-

Some after the Special NPCs out there. Most will be learned enough to use swords and the like.

Wiegraf
White Knoblin (knight/goblin) - Can equip swords and retains original Swordskills from Wiegraf.

Miluda
Dark Knoblin (knight/goblin) - Like her brother, except with Dark Sword capabilities.


Algus becomes a Goblin who eventually turns on you.
Noble Goblin- Basically the same as regular goblins except he has more physical abilites and can equip Swords/Crossbows.

Gafgarion
Mercenary G (hahaha)- Gains regular concentrate ability and able to equip Swords and Bows. Has Arm/Leg Aim and Seal Evil (mustadio/balk)

Queklin (or however you spell it)
Fat Gobu- Really high hp, but slow and strong. Also has some Poison/Sleep "spells (or smells)."

Others shall be added soon

[Son_of_Jim]

here's what i have thought of so far


physical classes:

- hunter- part ninja, part archer, part mustadio.  traps, wounds, and kills animals for food and profit.
     *gear= bows, knives, light spears, light armors.
     *skills= disable, immobilize, blind, confuse most animals, boost.  (inherent poach)
     *stats= slightly above average mobility.  slightly above average speed.

- guard- defensive fighter, slows down and damages the enemy by forcing them back and making them waste time healing.
     *gear= bows, axes, hammers, heavy spears, heavy armors.
     *skills= knockbacks, attacks that hit all units immediately around them.  (inherent defend)
     *stats= relatively slow, high hp, above average attack.

- warrior- a goblin soldier, trained to fight humans and work as a team.  well balanced and flexible.
     *gear= bows, axes, light spears, swords, light to medium armor.
     *skills= stat breaks, attacks that hit several targets in a row. (inherent re-equip)
     *stats= slightly above average speed, slightly above average attack, slightly above average hp.

- brawler (male only)- aggressive, human-hating goblin.  very dangerous, travel in packs.  kind of my version of the stereotypical fft goblin.
     *gear= can't use weapons, can only equip medium and light body armors.
     *skills= multiple hit skills, instant death skills, can break enemy equipment.  (inherent Martial Arts)
     *stats= above average mobility, slightly above average speed, below average hp, above average attack.

- minx (female only)-part dancer, part thief.  entices, traps, and robs humans.
     *gear= knives, cloths, medium and light body armors.
     *skills= steal heart, steal gear, invite goblins, various talk skills.  (inherent dual wield)
     *stats= dancer+thief.


magical classes

- priest- prays to ancestral spirits for guidance and protection.
     *healing spells and buffs

- shaman- performs rituals and makes small sacrifices to gain favor from nature spirits
     *6 elemental spells and negative status effect spells

- animal trainer (maybe i'll call it "empathetic")- blue mage+mediator+reis (but for all monsters, not just dragons)

- herbalist- (female only) makes and uses healing items, poisons, and drugs from plant and animal parts and minerals.  so, essentially a chemist that also makes poisons and can scrounge around for ingredients.  can use bows and knives.  Inherent Throw Item.

- tinkerer- (male only)- can use guns, bows, and books.  makes and throws explosives and hazardous chemicals.  very risky job.


NPC
- outcaste- goblin who mingles with humans.  i figure this type of goblin will be like a red mage, or maybe they'll be another outcaste class that uses human physical attacks too.  don't know.

- pariah- goblin who has adopted human traditions and beliefs.  kind of like dark/holy knight, but attacks not limited to one type of weapon.


edit
i think i went haywire with stat distribution... if everyone has "above average", then doesn't that just become the new "average"?


edit
bleh.  i think i'm just re-creating ffta.  several races, limited class availability... i'm trying to make something simple, a set-up where every job is useful in some way, and no job is just a stepping stone to something else.

i think it sounds like a good idea, good luck

[AuraDragon]

Have fun, can't wait to poach some goblins with classes.

[Dormin Jake]

In goblin patch, I assume goblin poaches you.

[Archael]

In goblin patch, I assume goblin poaches you.

exactly my thoughts

[BeoulveBlack]

Hunt Gobu, Gob Lord, Dark Knoblin! that crap is too funny to me...

but anyways, this would be quite the undertaking and VERY fun and interesting to play

[bamseyboy]

How about a Gonnagle which would have Bard skills.
I'm not sure if Gonnagle is simply a Terry Pratchett creation but it's the bard of a tribe of 'Pictsies' and it sings awful songs to harm foes.

The Pictsies could have some traits in common with Goblins.
