Changes to goblins

[Brother Richard]

I believe that the goblins should lose the -2 charisma penalty in Eberron due to their great artificing skill in the past. Also, the reasons to play a goblin have dwindled after allowing LA 0 Hobgoblins. There would be no reason to ever play a goblin despite the fact that they are supposed to be a powerful race with the most powerful artificer of all time who created several major artifacts that I forget the names of.

I would rather gives the goblin some bonus related to this fact than simply remove the Cha penalty. Being a great crafting society doesn,t make you more diplomatic, sympathic or intimidating.

They could have a +2 bonus to Use Magic Device (to offset the Cha penalty) for example.

Goblins are generaly a weaker LA 0 race anyway, compaired to some of the other races that is.

I don't see how they are now as a huge problem, though I'm willing to listen to suggestions.
