Goblin

I'm still unclear about the divisions in AD&D and D&D - the only AD&D I ever played was 2nd Edition, and although the Monster Manuals and such didn't necessarily directly lend themselves to this interpretation, I was of the opinion there is no such thing as an "evil race", and coupled with goblins' general skittishness (like kobolds), intimidation or even being reassuring to them could completely avoid what could, in some cases, turn into a multi-wave goblin onslaught. Past that, you start pitching them around and hacking them apart - as goblins ARE the fodder of which hack and slash roleplaying games are made - seconded only by orcs for slightly higher level characters.

I would run in hacking and slashing them. Also I would try to find a choke point, so I do not get surrounded. Though they are weak and cowardly, in great numbers they can be very ferocious.

Goblins, orcs and skeletons always take the fall in most campaigns. Goblins are everywhere but they make a good kill at the first level.

Goblin

Goblins are nice to throw at people and hope for some nice lucky rolls to really hamper a party at times. Nothing like 40-60 goblins harassing a party.

Goblin

Yes the strength of numbers can result in some interesting things.

I would think every now and then a Goblin will score or roll a huge number which can change the course of a battle.

Do goblins really fight in so many numbers? My first experience with goblins was the red box with the solo adventure. I think 3 of them came out to attack.

I have been in a campaign were we ran into over 100 goblins. It was a large mess when we got done and they managed to injure almost everyone in the party.
