Hay teegeeWhat are your thinks on Kobolds? You like them?
Also, which kobos is your favorite?
Another useless bot thread
>>98871754Nuh uh
>>98871604They're good in the right moment but I wouldn't eat a whole one.
>>98872992In my experience, wild kobolds are extremely gamey and riddled with parasites. However, if you eat one in front of the others and they don't have a dragon yet, you become their new dragon and they hunt for you and pay you tribute in uncut gemstones and precious ore, so the parasites are almost worth it.Unless they find an actual dragon, that is.
>>98873054kek>this guy isn't even a dragon ngmi. Not a lot of dragons in my setting though, I more have the dogbolds as orientalism located violent wretches that fit the area and are the eastern mix of >dogs are around, useful but dirty, a bit dumb but trainable and you can eat them when times are tight

>>98873535Better than this board's pet spammer anyway. Post more kobos! And also post more in the other good threads to flush the toilet

I heard that kobolds go "yip" apparently, but I've never had it come up in any of my games
A pirate kobold piece of art I recently got
Kobolddd...
>>98874956Does this artist have a website or something? That's pretty good!
>>98875006No, not to my knowledge at least. It cost me 60 euros.
>>98871604Cute fuck meat for my cock
>>98874956>Call your kobold oc a pirate>No pirate hat
>>98875112Clearly it didn't help in the storm
>>98871643>lizard>dog>both gayNeither, faggot.
>>98871604Sadly they got infantilised by women.
>>98876901Not even kobolds are safe from domestication
To me this is the perfect wife
>>98871604I like them but people always downplay their sociopathic collectivist tenancies to much for my taste.Ideally for all their antics it should always be kept in mind that they are ultimately the type to do anything for the group but also won't be to broken up if you die.

When you all play a kobold, what's your go-to class for them? I'm partial to artificer kobolds
>>98884172I only ever played Kobold once and it was a cavalier riding a big chicken and it was fun. Sadly the group fell apart fast because of too many screaming autists
>>98871604Don't really appreciate the western reptilian Kobolds. Though I do like the eastern mammalian Kobolds.
>>98884172Bard / Sorcerer / Warlock obviously, you're going to need max CHA to charm your way into big cities.
furry containment race that let's a group know ahead of time if someone is mentally ill and needs to be shuffled away from the table.
>>98874729Cute!>>98874939Lol
>>98884172My kobold NPC is a beguiler
>>98888098Did you mean to say "burglar", or is your kobold a smooth talker?Or both?
>>98885238Kobolds can be fun if you've got the right play group. Sometimes it's fun to be a sniveling, conniving bootlicker
>>98888736Beguiler is a class in 3.5 (which I'm playing)It's like a rogue-illusionist hybrid
>>98888098>>98888820>kobold beguilerColl idea.Must be one slippery little shit.
Remember to feed your kobolds sketty so they grow up strong and healthy
>>98871604Modern kobolds (little reptilian guys) are fine, they look cute and all, but I don't think they capture what I believe was the intended essence the old school ones had.That being said, I always try to make a kobold character whenever I can. I like the little guys.I think they should've kept the strength penalty and the daylight blindness. If you're playing as a kobold, you're doing it for the heck of it and for the challenge, not to be a powergamer.
>>98893512Exactly! If you're a small kobold, you should be a scrawny little runt
>>98893567My greatest project is making a kobold barbarian (while trying to maintain the classic penalties and limitations). It's difficult though, that -2 (sometimes -4 depending on the version) in strength really makes things difficult for a strength-based character.Like obviously I'm not trying to be the strongest character, but I at least want to try and do something that feels more or less viable and fun to play.
>>98893580Sometimes it's fun to play with a deliberate handicap
>>98893580>strength-based character.Barbarian is a CON-based character clearly and the original Barbarian (Conan) was more of a thief than a warrior in many of the stories before he becomes king.A Kobold barbarian can just be a wilderness rogue who didn't get good a pick pocketing, since they didn't live in the big city but instead crept into the hoards of monsters and evil sorcerers.
>>98884730Those are basically Gnolls
Kobold necromancers are epic
>>98894178Yeah flavor wise you can make a sort of wild rogue, and it's an excellent concept that I'll for sure try, but he won't be like, the actual barbarian class, with rage and all.The only viable way that I can think of are if he uses some magic item to give him some decent strength, but that's cheating and it defeats the purpose.
>>98884730>>98894205I did always find Lodoss' kobolds weird, they really are more like gnolls that kobolds. I know the east usually sees kobolds as dog-like, but they aren't even small in this case, might as well call them gnolls.
Furbolds are peak
I love them.
Which species would be viewed as more unhinged/chaotic: Kobolds or Goblins?
>>98896000Kobolds are lawful. So Goblins, which are chaotic.>>98871604Also... really upset with Dragons of Stormwreck Isle, had piles and piles of kobolds wiuth art for only ONE.So I been using ai to gen some... but it's going weird. Anyone in thread mind if I post ai sloppa?
need kobold boobaneed fat kobold ass
>>98895552>'Furbolds are peak'>posts scalebolds instead
>>98896327NTA but at least they have boobs, which implies they are mammals, which implies they have fur
>>98896327The one on the right has tufts of fur which imply the lack of scales due to having fur instead of scales
>>98896667Oh yeah, that one's great. Looks more like a very angry bipedal sphinx, but it looks awesome.I also loved the inclusion of the scorpion as an accessory, as a reference to the original.
Why did ratbolds never catch on
>>98896774lacked the cultural isolation or dragon connection.
>>98896774Too specific to WoW

>>98898565This kills the 'bold
>>98893512I've been playing the same kobold since 3.5 over 20 years ago. Just kept him in my back pocket to pull out and play in each new edition. Was real fun early in 5th when Kobolds had Pack Tactics.And yeah he was made when kobolds had -4 to Str l, so his total was 6. Not +6, not 16. 6.Which is perfectly cromulent for a 2 and a half foot tall lizard dude. But 17 Dex to start meant he, as a bard/rogue was doing just fine.Also, the DM let me give him goggles that would prevent the light blindness penalty in combat, but when wearing them on the surface, had a pretty big penalty to vision-based perception checks.But yeah, was really fun to play, even with all those disadvantages. Just made me think about what I was doing.
>>98900531Yes, almost exactly the same situation. I actually kinda liked having the downsides, it was an extra challenge I had to overcome. I mean granted, there's a lot you can do with just dex, but you still need to climb and swim for example, and those are strength checks, you still need to act during the daylight, you are a small creature in a big world, people may not like kobolds, etc.
>>98900581Oh yeah. And my party really didn't like me either because, as a bard, I had a Song of Rest. Only he played the bagpipes, so the Song of Rest was Highland Laddy at full volume.Of course it did become a distraction when the rest of the party wanted to sneak into a red dragon's lair.I was tempted to betray them because my kobold did speak draconic and thanks to some really good persuasion rolls, managed to not have to fight the adult red dragon at level 7.
>>98871604Ah Kobolds, my favorite answer to any of the logistics that involve Dragons. They can be as goofy and as deadly as much as their Dragon gives a damn.What I find most intresting about the scaly upright lizards (besides having Dragon Blood in them) is that they are not limited to just dragons. They could theoretically serve anyone who have draconic traits in them (so being a asshole). Meaning some random bandit could have a Kobold Tribe serve him, and the kobolds might potentially like him more then a actual Dragin because he does things like share the loot and give them breaks, the bare minimum!Also, I feel like Kobolds (and Dragonborn) should be in Council of Wyrms if Wizard's of the Coast ever decide to revisit the setting. They can take the place of Dwarves and gnomes. Also also, can you believe in all of DND canon Kobolds and Dragonborn don't have any kind of relationship? I could easly see a Dragonborn Knight surrounded by Kobold servant-squires.Now I'm thinking of Kobold monasteries in Dragin territory that only exist to maintain the weapon and armor of both their masters and the ones of the invaders if they aren't slaughtered. After all, it seems like Kobold are only loyal to might itself, and there is nothing mightier then a Dragon!
>>98900581I to miss when races had down side to their advantages, actually encouraged roll play and if you didn't game with a bunch of try hards could make some fun builds trying to use a class that focused on their weakness and then try to work around it as a player. But unfortunately to many pansies didn't like the idea that their super special snowflake would have a downside and whined about it until every race was basically just a human with a bonus gimmick (stat wise).
>>98902434In my setting, Kobolds were created by the same process that created Dragonborn. Basically, whenever something really bad happens to the equivalent of the Weave, ancient dragons sacrifice all of their magic to mend the rips, but they choose a new form for themselves in the process. Dragons that wished to humble themselves to better know mortals became the first kobolds, while dragons that wished to inspire mortals as role models became the dragonborn.
>>98902686I liked that my kobold artificer is a scrawny little pipsqueak. It makes character interactions more fun
Happy Halloween!
>>98902822Yeah Kobolds having similar origins to Dragonborn is common but I'm talking about relations between the two. Kobolds are the servants of Dragons and Dragonborn are the soldiers of Dragon (reminds me of ants funnily enough). But what are the relations of Kobolds and Dragonborns? Are they also the servants of Dragonborn? If we follow along with Ants Kobolds would be the one that feed Dragonborn because Dragonborn can't feed themselves? Unlikely.Now I want to see a Factorio/Songs of Syx style game where you play as Kobolds that have to balance answering the whims of a Dragon Lord and standard city-builder problems. If you grow big enough you have to answer to the Dragonborn as well.
>>98902686>>98902833Yeah... I don't get why people thinking a race having downsides is by any means 'bad design', it should rather be seen as either a>game mechanic that ya need to learn and learn to make the best of, and/or>a trait that helps you better define your character, giving them more depth and complexityBut no, everyone needs to be super strong now. A halfling is OBVIOUSLY as strong as a goliath, or perhaps even more... you see what I mean? It takes away things that are characteristic of each species.If you want to make a physically strong kobold for example, I think it's cool if you really work hard to make it work somehow, instead of having the game just hand it for you. Even if you end up being unable to make a viable thing, you can find other ways to meet the same result.It's important to be creative and be able to adapt. You feel much more victorious when you work hard for it, instead of the game making it trivial for you.
