What is your strategy for confronting the fantasy creature Hobgoblin in Dungeons & Dragons?
More info on this creature: Source 5
Usually if my character is of a good level I would draw my blade and run screaming at the hobgoblin to make him do a moral check. Even if he made it he would be a little taken back at my attack. I find putting the hobgoblin on defense right away is a good tactic as they like to bully their way through.
Not to mention there abilities to conceive really evil plans.
