Goblin Chef

Creature 1 — goblin, humanoid

FlankerLANDgoblinhumanoid

Goblins eat almost anything. Though they'll survive on raw or little-cooked meat, some prefer searing or frying their food first—or better yet, pickling it! A goblin chef can make anything edible (at least to a goblin). Goblins can be found across Golarion, sometimes threatening taller humanoids (whom they refer to as "longshanks") and sometimes redeeming harmful history by working alongside others.

Abilities

Good Enough to Eat — The goblin chef can turn otherwise inedible items into meals for others. They can provide food for any number of creatures without using the Subsist downtime activity as long as garbage is readily available. A non-goblin who eats the goblin chef's food must attempt a DC 14 Fortitude save. On a failure, they suffer an upset stomach for 1 day; if they attempt to willingly ingest anything else during that period, they must first succeed at a DC 4 Flat or the action is disrupted.
Kitchen Specialist — For encounters involving cooking, a goblin chef is a 3rd-level challenge.
+2 circumstance bonus against ingested poisons
Eat a Pickle

WORKS WELL WITH

AnvilLANDA frontline blocker forces enemies into Off-Guard positioning that this chef's backstabbing cleaver can immediately exploit.
SnareLANDA controller inflicting the Off-Guard condition directly guarantees the cleaver's bonus damage lands each round.
CrasherLANDA heavy bruiser draws focus fire while this lighter skirmisher darts in for finesse strikes against distracted foes.

PUNISHES

✖ Off-Guard exposure✖ poison reliance
Avoid stacking with another single-target finesse skirmisher, since both compete for the same Off-Guard opening on one foe.
