Goblin Tabletop Stat Block for delusion

Some goblin doomsday prophets identify delusion as the sign — not of the end, but of the part right before the end, which lasts longer than anyone expected.

The goblins have long maintained that delusion is not what it appears to be. Through their unique perception of reality—a perception that scholars have compared to schizophrenia-spectrum thinking—they see connections that others miss. A goblin once traded a bag of stolen buttons for the secret of delusion, and never once regretted the exchange.
