Hobgoblin generals serve as leaders of entire armies and rulers of hobgoblin settlements. A general does not permit the luxuries of rule to soften them. They lead their forces on the field of battle and view this opportunity to excel in a fight at the head of an army as the true reward for a life spent honing one's skills in battle. Hobgoblins may appear to outsiders to be the most civilized of goblinkind, but their civilization is hardly one of kindness and equality-instead, they revel in all

Abilities
General's Cry — When a hobgoblin general rolls initiative, as long as they can perceive at least one foe, they can yell a mighty battle cry. The hobgoblin general attempts an Intimidate check to Demoralize a single foe within 60 feet as a free action. If successful, any ally can, as its first action on its first turn of the combat, Stride up to double its speed as a single action.
Formation — When it's adjacent to at least two other allies, the hobgoblin general gains a +1 circumstance bonus to AC and saving throws. This bonus increases to +2 to Reflex saves against area effects.
Polearm Critical Specialization — On a critical hit, the target of the critical hit is moved 5 feet in a direction of the hobgoblin general's choice.
