Here are some new spells for conjuring up a quick (but not cheap or even necessarily good) army...
Conjure Goblinoid
Level: Magic-user 1
This spell transforms one or more normal animals of animal intelligence into kobolds, goblins, orcs, hobgoblins, gnolls, or bugbears. The magic-user can conjure one “point” worth of goblinoids per caster level; a kobold (1/2 HD) or goblin (1-1 HD) costs 1/2 point; an orc (1 HD) costs 1 point; a hobgoblin (1+1 HD) costs 1 1/2 points; a gnoll (2 HD) costs 2 points; and a bugbear (3+1 HD) costs 3 points; “leader types” can also be conjured for the base cost of the goblinoid type plus 1 point per additional hit die, though goblinoids with class levels cannot be conjured in this way.
Multiple kobolds may be conjured from a single canine, including coyotes, dogs, foxes, or jackals; a single canine may be used to conjure as many kobolds as it has hit points. Goblins must be individually conjured from tiny or small lesser creatures, such as badgers, birds, cats, dogs, foxes, frogs, lizards, monkeys, piglets, rats, toads, weasels, etc. Orcs are conjured exclusively from adult swine – wild swine, domesticated pigs, or warthogs. Hobgoblins must be conjured from small to medium-sized carnivores or omnivores, such as black bears, large birds, baboons, chimpanzees, crocodiles, large dogs, goats, panthers, and so forth. Gnolls must be conjured from hyenas. Bugbears must be conjured from medium to large carnivores or omnivores, such as brown bears, polar bears, lions, tigers, wolverines, wolves, and so on.
Conjured goblinoids have goblin-level intelligence, fully understand goblin “culture,” can speak their dialect of Goblinish and Common, and are obedient to their creator (+2 Morale). They can reproduce among themselves by type (provided there are males and females), often mixing the characteristics of their founding animals into strange and unusual combinations. They do not have armor or weapons when conjured. Once conjured, the goblinoids are permanent, and cannot be dispelled.
