They are an infestation of the shallow regions of the underworld, and are a playable race using 2d8, rather than 3d6, for abilities.<BR/><BR/>Kobolds are employed as staff and potential hirelings (and subsequently characters using the Entourage Approach) in a handful of Bumble controlled safe havens in those upper most levels.<BR/><BR/>I even allow a homebrewed "style point" for players using Kobolds as a PC.<BR/><BR/>Yep, I like the little blighters. Goblins are chaos-spawned, indelibly evil deniznes, unlike the somewhat resourceful Kobolds in my camp.Sham aka Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14329116400656617173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4727301007280965202.post-59697456029463573982009-01-30T15:28:00.000-05:002009-01-30T15:28:00.000-05:00...A feeling, an urge, a choking hand in the darkn...<I>...A feeling, an urge, a choking hand in the darkness.
