Fiery Goblin of Death:  Any time this character rolls a natural 1, this character explodes doing 2d6 splash damage to anything within 10ft.  This usually happens because of poor planning or storage of materials on the Goblin's part.  Whether it is a result of a cracked bottle, spilled components, or simply an unstable brew, the result is a fiery death for the Goblin Alchemist.


While all goblins have a fascination with fire, these deranged deviants take things much, much further.  A Goblin Alchemist typically comes about after a tribe of Goblins kill a traveling Alchemist.  On occasion, one of the more learned Goblins in the tribe will understand the adventurer's notes well enough to start down their own path of fiery destruction.

Author's Note: This monster variant appears in the Shores of Arcanum campaign setting.
