Koalinths, like Hobgoblins, make excellent Wizards (the Evocation Arcane Tradition fits well thematically; also War Magic, but is considerably weaker). But, truth be told, they could be almost whatever they want, with a particular flavour for Intelligence casters. An Eldritch Knight Fighter or an Arcane Trickster Rogue make excellent use of their stats and abilities. War Domain Clerics can very well represent a priest of Maglubiyet or other goblinoid deities.

It should work for now. Let me know if you like it! And let me know if you don't! Possibly even explaining why! Remember: none of this is professional work, neither it's official.

Be kind to each other and to yourselves.
