This is the same discussion every time this thread appears, lizard unless you're a weeb or uber traditionalist and tits depending on how horny you are at the moment, but I don't think you're here for Traditional Games discussion, I think you're here because you're a furfag

>>96044255 (OP)
kobolds can't wear plate armor sorry they're uncivilised and retarded and will get KOS in any area not kobold territory sorry op but you have to make a new character

>>96044344
The best feeling is playing a sincerely good member of a typically-evil race. Proving you are better than the world's expectations, overcoming bigotry, etc.

>>96044358
What constitutes being "sincerely good" to a kobold?

Is this just becoming a general thread? How often do you post this exact OP while just cycling a different image?

>>96044369
Depends on the character. Kobolds are normally highly loyal, protective, insular, and hard-working. All of these traits can be extended to a party of adventurers.

>>96044375
Honestly I'm just inspired by the periodic [x race] threads and wanted one for kobolds.

The only truly invalid type of kobold are the gnomey types. Lizards, dogs, weird goat dragon things, rats, all valid kobolds.

>>96044358
Good luck u will still get KOS cuz of your race lol also you can't speak common

>>96044624
>Ever used them?
Many times, both sides of the DM screen. Villains, allies, and players alike. My all-time favorite character was a kobold dragonfire adept in a 3.5 game actually.
>How did it go?
Well the players love to hate them as villains, love them as allies, and love being them as players. I quite enjoyed my Riilga.
>Care to show notes?
Sure, here's that aforementioned character:

The "messing up" of this dog-bold makes it look more like a hyena to me.

>>96044784
It's not a troll. I actually think that German kobolds are neat and og German folktales about them are rad.

>>96044310
In my homebrew kobolds are lizards and all female. They are the same species as dragons but they work more like bees. Dragons are all male, with hundreds of kobolds serving them and they ocasionally produce rotal jelly that makes kobold grow in size and wings and she becomes the dragon's concubine and very month lays a clutch of 10-20 eggs, from which one of 100000 is male offspring. Kobolds are busy rearing the young and foraging for food and from time to time they take pilgrimage with correspondence and gifts between different dragons, so not all the kobolds are related to dragon they serve.

>>96044624
I think they're the perfect monsters for fighting 1st level characters in 5e. Level 1 5e characters get so few hit points that a lot of monsters can one-shot them with good rolls, which can feel like bullshit. But with only 1d4+2 damage, the basic kobold is one of the few humanoids that don't cause this issue. Plus kobolds are supposed to be clever, so you can keep the dungeon interesting with traps, ambushes, etc.

What about dog kobolds?

can't argue with that logic.

>>96047447
Kobolds absolutely can into space, they're extremely compact and do not care at all about health and safety. They will plant the first flag on the moon if they have to make a staircase to it with their bodies

>>96046724
Honestly I'm more mad about the HAIR than the tits. How hard is it to make some attractive looking frills?

No, Goblins are Polish. That's why they clash with the Kobolds.

I'm simultaneously impressed and horrified by how well it applies.
I'd rather have them sent to space by someone more competent than witness such horrors.

>>96051409
Consider this: plumage. Granted, it looks nothing like it on the pic, but sufficiently small feathers, quills, or whatever could work as faux hair for those that absolutely need to have a haircut as part of the character design.

So these are just furry porn threads right?

Brodie helmets and shotguns would suggest they're American. Webley revolvers were not officially adopted by the US, but officers could pick weapons to their liking. Grenades could be battlefield loot.

>>96044310
Western style dragons have scales so their kobold servants would be reptilian. Eastern dragons are fluffy so their kobold servants have fur.

>I'm simultaneously impressed and horrified by how well it applies.

They wouldn't be kobold if they were willing to simply allow someone else to handhold them into space, relentless pride is part of what makes them what they are.

I would validate that kobold if you know what I mean!

Not sure this is the place but can I get some trap ideas for D&D? Like mechanics wise. I Dm'd for the first time awhile ago and had the players fight a kobold den under the premise that the bolds kidnapped a child from a nearby village and the player were paid to get them back. Ambushes were easy to come up with and I did make some pit traps (since I knew how fall damaged work), noise maker traps to alert the bolds, as well as a bolder trap that was pushed from a ledge into a doorway to cut off half the party in a room where the bolds fired down on them from above with slings. But I had no idea how to make more complex traps. Was hopping for some ideas and how they'd work in game incase I ever wanted to run a kobold dungeon again.

>>96071372
Pit traps: snakes, hungry animals, the works. Fall damage + a tussle with the animals.
Floor covered with oil for all your slip, slide 'n' burn needs. Slips and subsequent falls, sliding around and bumping into things, and burning, lots and lots of burning.
Flooding rooms: water, sand, poison/sleep/hallucinogenic/flammable gas via smoke bombs tossed inside. Drowning for water, add crushing to the sand, gasses might need some fiddling with the effects, I think?
(Al)chemical minefield: bunch of tiny vessels spread on the floor, whose content turns to gas/vapor once broken, may self-ignite too, causing an explosion. Look at various spells and try to make some spell-like effect?
Cage traps, both empty cage to trap PCs, and cages with animals dropped on them. Snakes are an all-time classic for this one. Material destruction for cages, and animal combat if the cage was full, I guess?
Tripwire traps: logs or stones falling down the stairway from tripwire in the middle of it, log with metal spikes in it swinging from the ceiling… Crushing damage stuff? Swap spikes for some shoddy spears with appropriate stats maybe?

>how to make more complex traps
Traps are either a dangerous thing, or a dangerous thing set off by a trigger.
A witless peon either touches the dangerous thing and dies…
…or he touches the trigger mechanism and it activates the dangerous thing that kills him.
A trigger can be passive, like a tripwire, or it could be active, like a (sacrificial) guard animal, or some 'bold on watch duty triggering it.

Seals work better for mermaids/sirens along with dolphins. All the biology problems solved and they have limited mobility on land. Think about it.
Maybe turtles would be better for kobolds?

>>96071372
How about viet cong traps?

In my homebrew setting, kobolds can't sleep well unless they cuddle with each other in a big pile, or with a medium sized humanoid.

>>96094979
Genuinely pretty inspiring. Thanks anon.

>>96099728

>>96099728
So, are they cold-blooded or do they have poor thermoregulation?
A kobold cuddle pile sounds comfy, though.
>inb4 kobolds are threatened even in their dreams and need numbers, or a powerful ally to defend against nightmares
Can even be purely psychological. Something something stresses of kobold life, something something trauma.

>>96101013
Kobolds are mesothermic, changing their body temperature in response to external stimuli. To a mammal, they're always the cool side of the pillow

>>96101065

I was talking to a friend about a small, roughly Waist-high lizard-like Reptilian Alien Species I use for my Sci-fi games.
when I was explaining them as basically being spacefaring Salvagers who love tinkering with old Technology and have a tendency to accidentally maim themselves with said tinkering, my friend said "so they are basically space Kobolds?"
and now I can't unsee that I basically just created Sci-fi kobolds while trying to come up with Ideas for a 'friendly' Reptilian species while filling my setting with non-humanoid Aliens

>>96103495
That's hilarious and awesome

>>96099728
I'm stealing that idea for the next kobold character.
Even if it's not the fault of biology, I'm taking that as a personal quirk.
This is just too cute not to do something with.
>>96101177
Why not both? It's called multitasking.
What starts with heat sharing ends with touching booba.
Acting adorable improves your odds of surviving said touching too.
"Booba boop" for a muzzle boop is fair trade as well.

>>96110791
>I'm stealing that idea for the next kobold character.
You have played kobold character before?

>>96111629
I have. D&D 3.5, was about to start wizarding our shit up, but then IRL happened and our party fell apart.
The keks I've had from gently bullying the other kobold PC that was a shy, yet also a shameless fag.
I think this might be my first encounter with someone playing a stright-up femboy character, now that I think about it.
And no, I didn't do anything with him, he was sort of an adopted younger brother.
So it was more about playing interference with illusion magic outside, while he jacked it in a toilet stall.

Somewhat related question. How do I weasel my way into playing as such a niche race, should I manage to get into another campaign? Assuming I'm not doing it for any degenerate purpose, of course.
The aforementioned party was half degenerates, half sorta serious, me and DM being the non-degenerates.
We were pretty much okay with the other two fagging it up "off-screen", and everyone was cool with the whole tiny lizard people thing too.
Now I'm worried I may not find such a based group of dorks to play with again.
Also, fuck D&D, and fuck vancian magic system, they both be gay.

>>96112278
That sounds adorable. You ever played a dragonfire adept? My favorite magic subsystem in 3.5

>>96113333
The femboy fagbold and his buttbuddy were completely new to tabletops, and I was somewhat new as well.
So DM went with a basic D&D 3.5 set, since it's better known than possible alternatives and would be simple enough to break us all in.
I'd prefer something less restrictive, but he didn't want to overwhelm people with alternative systems and whatnot.

pick a class that his helped by their racial stats and just say you're trying out some lesser picked races to see if you like them or not. Than once you get a feel for how the rest of the party and DM act either just play them straight or if they're a more lax group start having your character to dumb shit in there down time and see where it goes.

>>96071923
>kill yourself, he says
>mfw there is no need because after talking to him I have cancer

But what about 'the good ones'?

Honestly conservatives are even more up their own ARSE than the liberals. You are so rabid about anti woke shit an so focussed on a bunch of spergs who think the setting is fascist in undertones because it has all orks as evil, that you sperg out yourself and can't even enjoy a simple scenario that would appeal to conservatives like 'guy becomes a credit to his race'. You even sperg out at the liberals who are playing the game as if they're the same as the woke spergs.

And it's jolly funny to watch!

>>96130585
This might be difficult to pull off.
I.e. picking a wizard and going hog on INT.

On the other hand, in my old group I explained it, more for the the RP and "informing the DM" reasons, as being a servant of a now-dead wizard and, possibly, one of the experiments to create a smarter breed of kobold servants.
Hence the above-average intelligence and an aptitude for magic of the same school as the dead master's, and with one of the used surgical tools as an arcane focus. It was Necromancy. When in necromancer's tower… do as the he tells you or your reanimated corpse will do it
I figured, being smarter also left enough wiggle room for a non-racial alignment. Started off neutral, but later shifted to CN as it was more fitting, according to DM. Makes sense, to be honest.
Guess I better practice backstory bullshit to justify it without being heavy-handed.

First for dogbolds are cuter.

>>96130585

I never understood the fur thing on the small dragonlings. Is it because the dragon fucked a human or a some sort of other mammal? Seriously what is with the fur?

>>96147730

>>96147730
If kobolds are descendent or created from dragons, wouldn't the species of dragon ancestor influence the resulting kobolds?
So, something like eastern snake dragon would result in fluffy 'bolds, while the european dragon results in regular scaled kobolds.
Imagine what kobolds would look like if you use other than those two species as a base.

>>96053111
Goblins are Russian.
Orcs are Italian.

Dragons aren’t mortal
Immortality is a prerequisite for “always x” alignment, best mortals can do is “usually x”
