    44% with mod.
    beware my cluelessness!

    Although at the start it was ether 2 or 4… due to modifyers that are added on. It’s just un-common sense! :D

    Granted I haven’t even had a real game played form start to finish… seesh, I need to get that started.
    at least I got a battle mat now.

    Hobgoblins are one of my favorite under-appreciated PC races. I just convinced one of my players to make a Hobgoblin Dragon Shaman.
