It also given them more porpouse to be on higher level adventures like this, because they can end up being servants of a dragon and such. On my campaing that is on paragon tier, they still have their uses because of the antagonistic factions is a draconic army (Dragonborns and Dragons metallic and chromatic...they want to bring back Io), they use them in big quantities to swarm enemies and to infiltrate towns and buildings and sabotage them.spearheadstudioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10116896355279361699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790030420507335953.post-13653577776857970382013-01-02T16:44:58.163-08:002013-01-02T16:44:58.163-08:00@Svafa: Precisely.

I just wish D&D had a better magic system to support kobolds with strong draconic bloodlines. <br /><br />@L DM: The drawing is all well and good, but I like the new stuff better. I think that a more mythologically accurate kobold would make for an interesting monster, however.David Guyllhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16299128722345607123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790030420507335953.post-16767679667203763242013-01-02T16:35:40.637-08:002013-01-02T16:35:40.637-08:00DiTerlizzi kobolds all the way...DiTerlizzi kobolds all the way...LDMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05345390125161935391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790030420507335953.post-60233940870699735872013-01-02T15:33:35.674-08:002013-01-02T15:33:35.674-08:00I like the idea of draconic colours for kobolds an...I like the idea of draconic colours for kobolds and dragonborn so much that it's canon for our home game. I've taken a more liberal stance, allowing chromatic dragonborn and metallic kobolds, but they're vastly in the minority and are typically ostracized. I also allow the rare non-matching colour/metal to breath weapon for dragonborn, essentially just to give the players more freedom if they want it (both dragonborn characters have chosen corresponding metals and breaths, however).<br /><br />But yeah, I've put in a good deal of effort to correlate dragonborn with Bahamut and kobolds with Tiamat.Svafahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12237691554328991393noreply@blogger.com
