I want to talk about these little lizards. My current game has one running a thieves' guild, who the players have nervously interacted with time and time again.
>>96855509Mandatory evolution map.
>>96859911And type chart.Those kobold threads are not popular lately, huh?
>>96859911Did every fantasy race start as little humans?
>>96855509>My current game has one running a thieves' guildTell me about the scallywag.
>>96861095She styles herself a classy mob boss, ready for anything. We're playing 3.5 and her class is Beguiler.
>>96855509Would you smooch a kobold?
>>96861095>>96862124Here she is in combat outfit. The party has cautiously negotiated with her but it's been very tense every time, just how I wanted it.
>>96855509I've got a little kobold artificer who's just trying to make the world a safer place. We recently did a bank heist to get our stuff back from a bunch of thieves, and inside the main vault, among all the art pieces and relics, was a special Deck of Many Things with cards that don't disappear when you draw them. Naturally, we all decide to start drawing from the deck and my little Kobold gets all of his magic items disenchanted, gets a bunch of valuable gems, goes up three levels, and gets a very rare magic item (all purpose tool, +3). After we all draw from the deck, and one player earns the enmity of a pit fiend, we all decide it's best if we give the Deck to the closest archmage.
>>96860739Yes, all other races are downgrades of variant human.
>>96860739That's why they're called races and not species
>>96855509Drew some Kobold OC for this thread. I wanted a nice middle ground between cute and cuddly while still looking like it could be an enemy for the average fantasy adventure.
fuck off furfag
>>96866449Ngl, it has murlock energy.
>>96855509I did a Kobold Urban Ranger once. Styled him as a detective, watched a few episodes of Columbo before every session to get in the zone. Mostly played him as a non-combatant oriented item user. Acid vials & alchemical fire, thunderstones, caltrops, ect. And then played up the traps to make elaborate capture devices that would make Fred from Scooby Doo proud. If I remember right, the campaign moved on from that city, and I retired him since it didn't make sense for him to leave. The plan was for him to stick around as a contact, but I don't think he ever came up again, unfortunately.
>>96866474Huh?
>>96868649
>>96859940>>96859911>more of a goblin (or sprite)Nah they're more akin to gnomes in our Folklore. Kobold, Gnome, Wichtel and Heinzelmännchen are all pretty interchangable: usally very small dudes with beards and/hats that can be very helpful or sometimes annoying (kinda fey-ish).I can't remember a single children's story where "goblins" are ever named or where kobols have any similarities to goblins. They're not green or violent.t. German
>>96871448Pretty sure I've read a german folktale about kobold that chop a child into pieces and cook them up. Iirc, it was "the tale of the hodekin". Still, child was killed in retribution for misbehavior so quite normal thing for german fairy tale.
>>96871300I love war kobolds
>>96872568Trench Bolds are great
