Pathfinder Goblin Subclass: trickster

A particular hum precedes trickster in goblin perception — a frequency the goblin ear is tuned for and the human ear has agreed to ignore.

If trickster were an anime villain, it would have a five-episode arc, a flashback that recontextualizes everything, and a final form involving more eyes than any reasonable being should possess. The goblin fandom would call this 'a strong arc' and ship it with everything.

Goblin testimony on liturgy is notoriously inconsistent — not in the details, but in the tone. Some goblins describe liturgy with reverence; some with derision; some with the studied neutrality of a goblin who has been burned before. All testimonies are filed and kept.
