These tables allow you to make all manner of greenskins and goblin-kin: cruel orcs and wicked goblins, of course, plus hobgoblins, half-orcs, odd sub-species, rare hybrids, isolated tribes, etc.
Start with the basic goblin-kin template, add special abilities as appropriate to the level of Peril, and then roll for the goblinoids’s other traits, as they become apparent to the PCs – not before!
Suitable skill rolls can determine some things in advance – one trait per 2 points of success.
