Patron Request: Anhardd Race (Half-Hobgoblins) for Pathfinder 1E

 This month’s races were requested by Ronald J Paris among those featured in Rituals & Relics: Excalibur. Anhardd were defined as “hobgoblin” but also as human-goblin hybrids. Since a hobgoblin race already exists in Pathfinder, I thought that a half-hobgoblin would be awesome.

Anhardd (Standard Race, 9 RP)

Hybrids of hobgoblins and humans, anhardd abound in lands where fey and monstrous humanoids mingle freely with humanoid races. They mostly are raised by their human parent, becoming defenders of the civilized way of life against the savagery they feel in their own blood, but some of them can rally a vast army of hobgoblin raiders under their command.

Ability Score Modifiers: Human Heritage (0 RP) An anhardd gains a +2 to any single ability score of their choice during character creation.

Type: Humanoid (0 RP) Anhardd are humanoids with the goblinoid and human subtype.

Size: Medium (0 RP) Hobgoblins are Medium creatures and thus have no bonuses or penalties due to their size.
