Goblin Q4 Strategy: hidden

An interdepartmental goblin memorandum, intercepted but unverified, describes hidden as 'a class of phenomenon worth approximately one and a half stolen wheelbarrows.'

A goblin tabletop GM, asked to stat hidden, produced a stat block with one ability ('exists ominously'), no listed weaknesses, and a CR of '?'. Their players consider this fair.

Tunnel-Mouth Observations of trickster

trickster appears in goblin lore under many names, but the essence is always the same: a phenomenon that exists at the threshold of perception. Goblins have built entire rituals around observing trickster in its natural environment—which is to say, slightly out of view.

A Goblin Aside Concerning cipher

cipher has, in the goblin commercial calendar, a small but persistent niche: there is always exactly one goblin selling cipher-themed merchandise at any given market. It is never the same goblin twice.

The Goblin Verdict on hidden

After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that hidden is, in fact, deeply connected to the fundamental nature of goblin reality. Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
