Here is the list of all goblin traits in Gobs and Gods:
(Note: I rebalanced sligtly a few defects before writting this post, and the effects below may be slightly different from the current version on steam. They reflect the effects of the defect in the next patch, incoming… soon! )
Boring
[i]Goballette is just boring. Other gobs avoid talking to him because he lacks character. And it is quite true, he does not even have 2 personal defects as other ‘interesting’ gobs do.[/i] Does nothing. A boring gob will get no other defect.
Incontinent
[i]Goballette the Beggar keeps peeing everywhere. And yes, it is always ‘urgent’, and he absolutely refuses to wear heavy boots or armors which might get in the way.[/i] Prevents wearing Heavy Boots or Heavy Body armor.
Coquettish
[i]Goballette the Beggar has a very strong and personal opinion on which items are ‘fancy’, and will refuse to wear anything which does not strictly match his tastes.[/i] A gob will this defect will refuse to equip some items he does not like. He will refuses about half (randomly) of the items of level 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10. He will always accept an item with an upgrade. He will also accpet any item when his mood is highest, but equiping an item he does not like lowers his mood.
Unstylish
[i]Goballette the Beggar prefers old and outdated clothes, and will refuse to wear anything too ‘new’ or ‘fancy’ for his taste.[/i] A gob will this defect will refuse to equip some items he does not like. He will refuses about half (randomly) of the items of level 5, 7, 9, 10. He will always accept an item with an upgrade. He will also accpet any item when his mood is highest, but equiping an item he does not like lowers his mood.
Exhibitionist
[i]Goballette the Beggar feels compulsed to show everyone his intimate parts, and will sometimes drop his armor at the beginning of a fight. On the bright side, this might sometimes scare away impressionable opponents.[/i] A gob will this defect will sometimes drop part of his armor at the start of a fight, but receive a large moral boost when doing so. The probability this triggers is higher when the gob is in bad mood.
Monomaniac
[i]Goballette the Beggar seems very, very focused on [url=skill:Dagger][color=yellow]Dagger[/color][/url]. He never talks about anything else, and will not learn any other skills.[/i] A gob will this defect can only learn a single skill. But he also receives a significant bonus of the skill, and will get stat upgragdes on level up instead of new skills.
Midget
[i]Goballette the Beggar is especially small, even for a gob, and will struggle carrying heavy equipment. At least he is quite good at literaly hitting his opponent below the belt.[/i] This defect reduces the gobs’s Max Encumbrance by -4, but gives access to a special attack targeting the feet.
Jumbo
[i]Goballette the Beggar is especially tall for a gob, which makes it an easy target for range attackers. But he is better than most hitting his opponents on the head.[/i] This defect reduces the gobs’s Range Defense by -15, but gives access to a special attack targeting the feet.
Greedy
[i]Goballette the Beggar will refuse to let go of his belongings unless you offer him higher-level items.[/i] Prevents unequipping an item, if it is not immediatly replaced by a higher level item. Exception: when the gob is in the highest mood, the gob will accept unequiping one item, but doing this will immediatly lower his mood.
Straggler
[i]Goballette the Beggar always dragging his feet, and he is always late on the battlefield. On the bright side, he also less likely to fall into an ambush.[/i] This defect makes the gob sometimes spawn a few cells behind the other gobs, at the start of a battle. It is less likely to trigger when the gob is in good mood.
Lazy
[i]Goballette the Beggar says he doesn’t dislike fighting, but ‘battles are always so tiring’.[/i] This defect increases a gob’s ‘Action Point Duration Factor’ by 4% (meaning he plays slightly less often).
Short_Sighted

Dumb
[i]Goballette the Beggar is just dumb. Yes, dumb for a gob. So don’t try to teach him magic or speaking, you would only be disappointed. But never mind that, he at least understands the concept of ‘hitting the other guy untils he stops moving’[/i] This defect prevents the gob from learning a large list of skills. But it increases the Melee Score by 3. On level up, if the gob cannot learn any new skill, he will get a stat upgrade instead.
Mute
[i]In Goballette the Beggar’s own words: “…”. So don’t try to teach him anything involing talking. And at least, you won’t get fed up by his absurd small talks.[/i] This defect prevents the gob from learning magic, trollish or trade skills. It also replaces its chats by ‘…’. In compensation, it increases his view range by 1.
Boastful
[i]If you believe Goballette the Beggar, he single-handedly defeated three trolls only two days ago, and sent running a pack of bullorcs the day before. And that’s just the beginning.

Zealot

Werewolf_Poser

Voracious

Tree_Stalker
[i]Goballette the Beggar is convinced he can talk to the trees, and try to chat with them whenever he can, blabbering about ‘bark fashion’ or ‘leaf gossip’. Of course they never answer. Maybe they just don’t like being bugged about such awkward topics?[/i] A gob with this defect can access a special action, ‘Talking to the trees.’ It mostly does nothing; but the trees might be annoyed and this can trigger a special quest at a nearby lumberjack…
