Useful info
Goblins pose no real threat to most characters - only fresh, D:1 characters are likely to have problems. They may carry a club, dagger, sling, or very rarely a wand.
Tips & Tricks
- Goblins will sometimes pick up items (that you haven't yet seen) from the dungeon floor. Even though killing them offers very little XP, it's usually a good idea because of the stuff they might be carrying.
- Pay attention to the weapons they are wielding. It could be a dagger of electrocution or a sling of freezing.
History
- 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.
