==Goblins==

+2 to Dexterity or Intelligence

'''Small''': Goblins have a +2 AC bonus against opportunity attacks.

'''Goblin Hearing''': Goblins have big ears that can hear things other races can't. This doesn't provide any mechanical benefits, but it does mean they can perceive frequencies non-goblins can't, such as Shrill, the goblin language.

''Adventurer Feat'': Gain a +3 to background checks involving hearing, and you don't suffer any penalties to hearing rolls if you're asleep.

'''Racial Power:''': Shifty Retreat

Once per battle when an enemy attack hits you, you can force them to reroll the attack and take the worst result. If they miss you with the reroll, you can pop free from engagement, and if it hits you only take half damage.

''Champion Feat'': After using shifty retreat, you can move as a free action.
