Kobold Ingenuity I (enhancement) - Due to the ease at which kobolds set up their traps, you recieve +1 to disable device and search. (2 AP)

[Shaamis]

Kobolds should also get some kind of "squirminess" enhancements, such as:

1 ap: 5% racial "blur" effect, this effect stacks with the spell "Blur" but not displacement, or other blur effects.
2 ap: 10% racial "blur" effect, this effect stacks with the spell "Blur" but not displacement, or other blur effects.
3 ap: 15% racial "blur" effect, this effect stacks with the spell "Blur" but not displacement, or other blur effects.

Also, maybe some spell defense against hold, and similar paralysis effects.

Nothing is more irritating that a kobold who wont stay still. :P

[Ethiel]

Kobold Sorcs FTW.......yark yark BOOM!

[bigolbear]

+10 racial bonus to jump checks, bonus mana for sorcs - like elven arcanum.

kobold shaman racial prestige.
kobold trapsmith racial prestige.

enhancements.
sneaky: bonus to hide/move silent.
cunning: bonus to sneak attack.
dragon blood: bonus to pell pen, bonus mana.
grenadier: bonus damage with grenades
Trap master: bonus damage and DC's with set traps.

[Llewndyn]

A few feats:

Spell Spam VII: Cost, 4AP. Available to level 4 Kobold Shaman: Your annoying yarks and rank odors have in and of themselves manifested their own dimension in the fabric of space time. Spell points no longer matter, and cooldowns are eradicated - Activates when enemy is at 25% or below HP

Wall Jump IX: You have seen Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles like 11 times, making you more nimble of foot simply by proxy - +70 to Jump and the ability to stick to walls. Cost - 2AP

Unbelievable Dodge: Even when you encounter enemies with a to hit in the upper 70s, you are able to slow the passage of time enough so that literally EVERY friggin hit misses you. Your resistances also change PER hit, meaning if you are weak against fire and you get hit with a flaming weapon then you become resistant to it and are now only weak against holy weapons, etc. etc. - inherent skill, given at level 1

Kobolds:

-2 STR
+2 Dex
-4 CON (but you won't need con since unbelievable Dodge is like the monk Slow Fall)
+2 Int (only because you need int for spell casting)
-2 wis
+4 Cha (cause they're so darn adorable!)

Pre - Annoying Servant - Like radiant servant, only its a constant soundburst effect.

I win.

I like these base beginnings, and then build around a theme, and actual enhancements. You know...... stuff WE want to see as the final product

I'm not talking a wishlist, I'm talking about what we'd like to see in the Kobold race if it was available.

[Mister_Peace]

I'd play one just for their crazy run animation.

[Krelar]

Would the bonus on my pirate hat apply to all player kobolds around me?

[jortann]

I will work this like congress does...

I will sign your petition only if you include Minotaurs as well.




~yeah, I want this guy to be my next character ~

[ShimmeringHope]

/yark!

Since the very first time I saw kobolds I wanted to play one.

[Shaamis]

after hearing all of the hilarious sound bits from the kobolds in the cove event, id love to see us be able to bind those to keys on request, or do emotes and hear the little quips, such as:

"I'm a double-barrel kobold!"

[Westerner]

/yark

[krissonofpark]

Yeah (I mean Yark), it's the return of the we want to play Kobolds thread.

The classics are always the best.

[Joseph]

Racial prestige. Kobold Thrower.

I want this as a PRE for my Barbarian, so I can use a Kobold as a thrown weapon.

[Inspire]

/yark

I also want a "demolition" race specific PrE so I can strap a barrel to my back and go BOOM!
