Some thoughts on the original wave of Goblinization. Are there any detailed accounts of this time (in a sourcebook somewhere) and who was struck by it across society, demographic-wise? As some members of my group have pointed out, if it really was 10% – evenly across the board demographically – then why is there any real prejudice against them? With that high of a percentage, it’s almost certain that every family has someone who Goblinized – and could not be certain that they suddenly wouldn’t as well. This would tend to negate prejudice for it’s victims. In contrast, if it was only the “underclass” who Goblinized, then THAT would certainly generate social prejudice against them.
