Playable goblins?

[rhodiumguy]

Will there be an option to play as a goblin? Would be fun to play as a stealthy green twerp

[juicy j]

as a mod for sure, but most likely not in the base game.

I doubt it unless in a DLC. They only guaranteed Player Handbook races and classes, but did guarantee all of those. Undead would be nice. They have no problem implementing that in DOS2 so I am hopeful

Play as a Halfling and paint yourself green.

As Juicy said, Goblins aren't a normally playable race and most of the race options are the playable ones plus the Githyanki. Githyanki are likely going to factor into this story in a decent way so that's likely why they added them in, Goblins are less likely but modders will probably find a way to make that work.

Last I checked (granted that was a couple of month ago) the existing goblins are rigged totally different then other races or something like that, making them very difficult to mod in, if at all possible. So, even as a mod they might take a long time to be included.

Strictly speaking there is No Undead playable race in DnD.

There is the Dhampirs, but they are half vampires

And there is the Reborns/revenants, but they are not undeads technicaly, they are beings that came Back to life.

If you ant some Undead playable races, you have to go Homebrew or 3rd party editors, like Kobold press Empire of Ghouls stuff.

Never say never with Modders

Look at Skyrim, 11 years later there is more and better mods coming out like you'd ever believe.

Skeleton and Zombie are both races in the DMG.
Theres a tip that says these are not designed to be played by players, but the races are literally already built and written up, so a player could absolutely play as a zombie or skeleton. They would just be screwing themselves over since those races are meant to be extremely, EXTREMELY, weak. They *are* playable, they just weren't *designed* to be played. Any race is playable.

As for goblins, you could easily just take a halfling and reskin them to look like goblins.
there will definitely be undead playable races released through mods, 100%, goblins, idk, but if people keep talking about it maybe a modder will do it after full release. Orc will be a mod guaranteed though.

There are non phb Tiefling races, goblins might be added
