Hobgoblin

Among the hobgoblins are warriors empowered by psionic prowess.

Hobgoblin Distorter

These hobgoblins are gifted in psionic ability, and master its usage with equal tenacity as they do martial ability. In battle, they use their powers to keep their strongest adversaries at bay to isolate the weaker foes so the distorter and its allies can effortlessly dispatch them. With their greater intellect and power, a distorter can often rise to take command of a hobgoblin clan.
