 ==Useful Info==
-'''Hobgoblins''' are one of the weakest monsters in the game, but are still a threat to XL 1 characters. They can take down the weaker end of starting characters in a fair fight, especially if they are wielding a weapon. They are found in the very earliest portions of [[the Dungeon]].
+'''Hobgoblins''' are one of the more dangerous monsters you can encounter on D:1. While weak, they still present a threat to an XL 1 character. They are found in the early [[Dungeon]].
 ==Tips & Tricks==
 *Hobgoblins are slightly beefier than [[goblin]]s and [[kobold (monster)|kobolds]], and hit about as hard. If you have the choice, avoid fighting a hobgoblin as your first enemy - try to get XP from easier prey, first.
-*Watch out for their equipment. A hobgoblin with a weapon is one of the most dangerous enemies you can find on D:1. Unfortunately, if it's wielding a weapon, it will be awake and likely to notice you.
+*Watch out for their equipment. A hobgoblin who has picked up a weapon is one of the most dangerous enemies you can find on D:1. Unfortunately, if it's wielding a weapon, it will be awake and likely to notice you.
 *If you find a mass of hobgoblins and [[goblin]]s on D:2-4, it's likely that [[Robin]] is around.
 ==History==
-*In [[0.27]], all monsters now attack faster and hit harder with weapons. Unlike [[goblin]]s and [[kobold (monster)|kobolds]], hobgoblins were not nerfed directly - but they no longer generate with weapons. (Hobgoblins who pick up a weapon, however, are more dangerous.)
+*In [[0.27]], the hidden weapon penalties for monsters were removed, so all monsters hit harder and faster with weapons. Hobgoblins were not nerfed directly, but to compensate, they can no longer spawn with weapons. (They can still pick up weapons, though.)
