Discordant Frenzy (Ex): When melee ensues, forestkith goblins go into a frenzy, jumping about chaotically and screaming loudly. Creatures with 2 HD or fewer within 30 feet of at least three attacking forestkith goblins become shaken for 1d4 rounds unless they succeed on a DC 9 Will save. A creature that resists the effect cannot be affected by it for 24 hours. This is a mind-affecting fear effect. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Light Sensitivity (Ex): Forestkith goblins are dazzled in bright sunlight or within the radius of a daylight spell.

Tree Shape (Su): A forestkith goblin can change form into a small tree, shrub, or limb, equivalent to the tree shape spell as cast by a 12th-level druid. A forestkith goblin typically uses this ability at or near daybreak as a form of camouflage, due to its dislike for daylight.

A goblin cannot dismiss this effect, but it ends automatically at sunset or if the goblin takes damage.

Skills: Forestkith goblins have a +2 racial bonus on Jump checks. A forestkith goblin also has a +8 racial bonus on Climb checks and can always choose to take 10 on Climb checks, even if rushed or threatened. *A forestkith goblin gains a +4 racial bonus on Hide checks and Move Silently checks in forested areas, and it gains a +4 racial bonus on Craft (weaving) checks to create nets.
