When I make a goblin warrior 2, what is the resulting CR? 1/2, 2/3 or 1?

It's deja vu all over again.

A goblin warrior 2 should have a CR of 1. The NPC classes are a challange rating of level -1 + the CR of the base creature.

This is according to the rules but IMO this build would be a weak CR1 so as a DM I might house rule it CR 2/3 or have two of them for a CR1 encounter.

Confirming what maijstral said, strictly by the rules, it's CR 1.

But isn't it

-2 (goblin; MM pg. 133), -1 (NPC class)
+2 classes

And therefore 1/2? I don't know why this has confused me so much, but it has.

It's deja vu all over again.

I think the goblin in question already has an NPC class and the -1 is already taken into account.

Yes, the gobbo in the MM is already a 1st-level Warrior. You don't just have "goblins" anymore. They gotta have a class, just like people. [:D]

Hehe. I think they call his 'The Goblin previously known as Snig'.

You know, before he started handing around with that troublesome Worg...

Monster Manual Goblin = Goblin Warrior 1 = CR 1/3

Goblin Warrior 2 = CR 1 (by the rules, NPCs with NPC classes are at level -1 for CR purposes).

I would personally run Goblin Warrior 2 as CR 1/2 and Goblin Warrior 3 as CR 1 (since goblins are generally craptastic).

For more challenging goblins, give them levels in a PC class. For more humorous goblins, give them levels in aristocrat and have them snub their noses at the PCs [:D]

As far as I gather, Low CR's go:

2, 1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/8, 1/10

Therefore, Warrior 2 is 1/2, Warrior 3 is 1, etc.
