The SendingStone review

The Hobgoblin is a decently tough monster in the world of Dungeons and Dragons, with its high armor class and decent hit points. With a lawful evil alignment, this enemy is not one to be underestimated. However, its lower charisma score may make it less effective in social encounters. Its intelligence score is average, making it competent in combat but not particularly strategic. Overall, the Hobgoblin is a solid choice for a low-level enemy or even a mid-level minion in a larger encounter.
