## “I hate humans”

-skagzag, whenever a human is present or mentioned

**Skagzag** was a Goblin Sorcerer and a member of the Goblins of Io. He was played by Crendor.

## Description

### Appearance

Skagzag is a smaller than average goblin, due to his height being reduced by wild magic, and then increased again after being biologically tampered with. Rarely seen wearing more than a small loin cloth, Skagzag has a strong but wiry physique, with skin that appears to barely stretch over his muscles.

A more than noticeable feature of Skagzag is his overly large and pulsing veins, that seem to almost pop out of him in a grotesque manner. To add to that, he has random disproportionately sized body parts, like one bigger eye, one smaller ear, or one longer arm.

His unwanted show of his body is a testament to his chaotic nature and free lifestyle. In combat, his spell casting causes his veins to glow and pump, and make him jitter and vibrate like he’s being overcharged.

### Personality

Skagzag is an agent of chaos whenever he’s “active”, and his antics usually consist of unnecessarily outlandish or annoying but helpful use of his spells. Occasional wild magic or random quick decisions that make either a lot of impact or no difference.

He usually doesn’t speak unless talked to or about and he’ll usually do things even if told not to, and he has a fondness for fog clouds, but a hatred for humans to match. Despite a want for chaos, Skagzag is put on a (metaphorical) leash, and gets bored of doing things he see as pointless.

## History

### Background

Before the events of Goblins, Skagzag was a member of a traveling circus led by Happy, using his powers as a sorcerer to create fireworks and act as an all-around showman.

He has a deep-seated hatred of humans.

* *Spell Sneak Attack*
	+ Whenever you cast a spell that has an attack roll, you deal an additional 1d6 piercing damage. It follows the same rules as the Sneak Attack feature.
* *Unstable Magic Table*
	+ As a combination of wild magic berries and magic tea, his magic has become unstable, granting him a unique wild magic table. Whenever a wild magic check is made, various effects will happen depending on the roll. If a wild magic event is triggered, he may roll an additional d20 to set this effect to the personal table, which is rolled when a wild magic check is made. Here is a list of all known effects.
		- Your size is decreased for the rest of combat.
		- 2: A random creature within 60ft of you becomes poisoned for 1d4 hours.
		- 7: You sprout a beard of feathers.
		- 10: You are covered in grease and spawn grease in a 10ft radius around yourself.
		- 14: You cast Fog Cloud centered on yourself.
		- 15: You become invisible for 1 minute. During that time, no one can hear you.
		- 6/16: You and all creatures within 30ft gain vulnerability to piercing damage.

* ***Kaasma Power***
	+ You have a source of Kaasma power to generate during combat. Each successful attack adds 1 charge. At 10 charges, you or an ally may transform into a special Kaasma version of yourself at the beginning of the round for 1 round. Only 1 Kaasma form may be active at once, and you may not transform again for another 3 rounds afterwards. While in this form, you gain the following benefits:
		- Your size becomes Large.
		- You get an additional chance to proc Wild Magic.
		- You gain temporary hit points equal to your current hit points. This temp HP vanishes at the end of the round.
		- ***Kaasma Fog***
			* Through the power of the Kaasma, you may place a special fog with a 20ft radius anywhere in the battlefield. Enemies cannot see through this fog in this fog, and suffer disadvantage while attacking in this fog. Allies are unaffected by this fog.

#### Notable Items

* *Parasitic Callace* (Permanent Attunement)
	+ You gain a natural AC of 16. This AC can still be affected by your Dex mod. This does not stack with normal armor.
* *Chaotic Noisemaker*
	+ Make a Spell Attack Roll. This weapon changes damage types every turn Fire -> Acid -> Lightning in that order, looping back to Fire. On a successful attack roll, roll a 1d6. The Chaotic Noisemaker does the following damage.
		- 1 - 1d4
		- 2 - 1d6
		- 3 - 1d8
		- 4 - 1d10
		- 5 - 1d12
		- 6 - 1d20
