Blues are a subrace of [[SRD:Goblin|goblins]] with an innate knack for [[SRD:Creature Spells and Powers#Powers|psionics]]. A blue is often smaller than an average [[SRD:Goblin|goblin]], standing just about 3 feet tall and weighing about 40 pounds. Blues have noticeably blue-tinged skin, and their eyes are less dull than those of a common [[SRD:Goblin|goblin]]. Otherwise, they resemble their kin. They generally dress in short leather robes, dyed black.

Blues speak Goblin and Common.

Most blues encountered outside their homes are [[SRD:Psion|psions]]; the information in the statistics block is for a [[SRD:Psion|psion]] of 1st level.

===Combat===

Blues support [[SRD:Goblin|goblin]] [[SRD:Warrior|warriors]] in combat and are often called upon to lead a gang of [[SRD:Goblin|goblins]] (from the rear) into battle.
