Ge0ff: goblins might spawn with a sling as their 2nd weapon: https://github.com/crawl/crawl/blob/0.30.1/crawl-ref/source/mon-gear.cc#L1040 (wiz-mode check: spawn a bunch of them with &mgoblin, then kill them with &Gkeepitem - there will be a few slings left)

-'''Goblins''' are one of the first humanoid monsters you can find. Only fresh, D:1 characters are likely to have problems against one. They may carry a [[club]] or [[dagger]], though wandering goblins can pick up items from the floor. Starting from D:2, goblins have a 1/12 chance to spawn with a [[sling]].

 ==Tips & Tricks==
 *Goblins are stronger than the likes of [[kobold (monster)|kobolds]] and [[rat]]s. If you have a choice, avoid fighting a goblin as your first enemy - try to get XP from easier prey, first.
-*Pay attention to their equipment. A wandering goblin can pick up items (that you haven't seen) from the floor. They could be wielding a dagger of [[electrocution]] or a [[sling]]. Even the likes of [[scale mail]] can turn goblins into a much greater threat (for D:1).

 *If you find a mass of goblins and [[hobgoblin]]s on D:2-4, it's likely that [[Robin]] is around.

 *In [[0.27]], the hidden weapon penalties for monsters were removed, so all monsters now attack faster and hit harder with weapons. To compensate, goblins' base damage was nerfed (4 -> 1), though they always generate with a weapon.
