PANGARIAN GOBLINS are a rare variant that exists only among the eponymous floating islands of that distant sky-realm, somewhere above the Ocean of Tempests. While they have a regular Goblin's appearance and fascination with mechanisms and engineering, in every other aspect they are completely different.  Highly intelligent, friendly, and always keen to help or share, the Pangarian Goblin is usually employed as an Aeronaut, Baker or Cook, Craftsfolk, Engineer, or Technomancer. Roll on the below table to determine their profession and equipment:

Roll Profession and Gear

1 Aeronaut: As per Aeronaut

2 Baker: Hat, Apron, Bag of Salt, Sling, Dagger

3 Cook: Cleaver, Dagger, Throwing Dagger, Bag of Salt, Hat, Apron

4 Craftsfolk: Tools, Rope, Club

5 Engineer: Tools. Rope, Lantern, Brass Telescope, Staff

6 Technomancer: as per Technomancer

Pangarian Goblins dislike the wilds and the sea, and are mostly at home in the settlements and towns, as well as being adept at delving into the underground tunnel systems to troubleshoot any municipal plumbing problems. At this time, the current High Technomancer of Pangaria is Vizigg the Goblin, and the Chief Engineer is his ex-apprentice Krazic, also a Goblin. There have been rumours that Pangarian Goblins occasionally come to the aid of their lesser brethren upon the surface of Titan, selling them sky-tech on the cheap no questions asked and so on, but these have never been conclusively proven!
