At least for me goblins should be the stealthy, sneaky ones who are more than happy to inform their more powerful combat siblings. Of course they should also be curious of magic as well so they would also fill the role of magic user in an orc nest.
If only somebody had spent hours creating an entire thread with multiple, nuanced versions of easy-to-use templates that address your exact desires such as "Stalker," "Trickster," and "Caster" that you could spend three seconds slapping onto the stats you're using for Goblins and have exactly what you want...
