📋 About This Mod

This mod is the culmination of different wonderful minds in the modding community, having come together to bring this labor of love to BG3.

Play as the Hobgoblin race, featuring four sub-races, unique racial progressions that go beyond 5e’s known content, a myriad of customization options, immersive character tags, and more.

The four sub-races of the Hobgoblin tribes are a reimagining of both 5e official content, and homebrew elements.

The Strongblade

The Generals of Maglubiyet, born for battle and conquest.

The Koalinth

Goblinoids of the sea, enlisted into the service of the lord of krakens, Panzuriel.

The Sunscorch

Draconic hobgoblins who share their hoard of treasures with the Blue Dragonflight.

The Harrowers

Mutated, bestial giants in direct service to the Fey that transformed them.

Each of these sub-races come with unique customization options and progressions. Tag systems were implemented using the Tag Framework to assign the Hobgoblin tag, as well as remove the Baldurian tag. The Harrowers’ lore calls that their skin is seen as that of a silver beast’s, which netted them the bestial tag from us.

This mod features two body types, both of which are fitted to the Half-Orc body types. To help players get into the spirit of their character, a plethora of head options, 12 per body type, were developed for use. 2 hairstyles, and 4 beards were either retrieved from the game files or hand crafted for use in customization. A custom make-up atlas was implemented as a replacer for the Hobgoblins, with a custom tattoo atlas as well. Fingernails for each body type can be colored using the horn color picker. Each sub-race features customization systems unique to them.

Strongblade - the tamest of the bunch, these hobgoblins come with all the general amenities the mod offers regarding skin tones, tattoos, make up, piercings, etc. This was to ensure that the Strongblade maintained the “purity” of being a typical Hobgoblin.

Koalinth - Scales adorn the Koalinth that are colorable using the horn color picker.

Sunscorch - Scales adorn the Sunscorch that are colorable using the horn color picker. Further still, these Hobgoblins leverage the Draconic Bloodline customization atlas to pick a scale pattern for your hobgoblin. These are colorable separate from the body.

Harrower - Sporting the same customization options as the Strongblade, these Hobgoblins stand out through the markings on their bodies, which glow a brilliant red.

All 4 sub-races feature different eye materials as well, creating a unique experience between all the options!
