Hobgoblin
Hobgoblins are monstrous races that boast various advantages, such as increased intelligence and Weapon/Armor Proficiencies. Hobgoblins make an excellent choice for classes such as wizards or rogues who require precise weapon control; additionally they tend to excel as Fighter classes; however their intelligence bonus also makes them suitable for other roles.
Lawless evil and committed to survival through military conquest, lawless evil is dedicated to military conquest for survival and each maintains an “individual perimeter,” or personal space that encompasses both their private space and portion of tribal land. Mercy and compassion are considered weaknesses; those not adhering to their code of valor may be punished either verbally or monetarily by their Rex.
Glory and success in battle can propel even lowly banners to prominence, yet hobgoblins do not deny advancement to those who have earned it, nor withhold awards of glory from heroes who deserve them.
Bodojo
The Bodhran is an Irish frame drum which can be played using either a beater or stick, with its signature goat skin head (although synthetic, kangaroo or other animal heads are sometimes also used) being attached to its wooden frame. Although believed to have been invented more recently by Sean O Riada (though some say otherwise), it has since become an integral part of Irish music and culture.

The Bodhran is one of Ireland’s most beloved traditional instruments, consisting of a flat drum made with a round frame covered by goatskin stretched over it, secured to it via crossed wooden bars on either side.
Though bodhran can be played bare-handed, most players employ a beater called a cipin for more efficient playing. The cipin can either be held directly over both ends in Kerry style, or with one end only above the head (top-end style).
The Bodhran has been around since centuries ago, but it only really took off as a musical instrument during the Irish folk revival in the 1960s. Since then, its popularity has spread and now it can be found across multiple musical styles; various players now employ multiple styles when playing it and it continues to develop further today.
