[RQ-Rules] RQ Beasties

   I've always liked Goblins-proper. Not Tolkien's ones. You know, the ones 
that're sometimes goofy, sometimes scary, sometimes noble, sometimes 
contrary, and sometimes a mix of all 4. 
   In various folklore sources I'd found them to have a pretty bewildering 
range of different sizes and abilities (In addition to the images in Rodney 
Mathews' posters from the early 80s)
   To reflect this, I'd *originially* used Trollkin, plus RQ3's three 
different sizes of Orc to provide an interesting range of stats and sizes.
   This, however, effectively led to there being four different 'breeds' of 
Goblin. Something I didn't really care for.
   Then I found the stats for Goblins in the CoC 'Dreamlands' book, where 
their STR and SIZ were each rolled up using 1D20 (or was it 2D10?). I liked 
the more random and wide-open feel this provided, and so, my RQ Goblins (who 
pretty much range the great Old Forest of Prydain) have received a reworking, 
and are now generated like their CoC cousins :)
