Playable Kobolds?

[Defunct]

Have an entire "hardcore like" season where everyone who's running the event (both the light and perma-death versions) has to play a Kobold to take part in the event... That would be a heck of a cool way to introduce a new race.

I have a better idea for a hardcore, swap the player & monster races - Savage Species or Volo's Guide to Monsters should cover all the stat blocks needed for character gen.

But definitely a proper HC server would be brilliant to add a new race or xpac etc

They could also side step the armor issue by adding in race specific armor for Kobolds that only drops during the event and only if you are playing one. Not sure about after the event for conversion.

Probably another elf after duergar.

what fighter iconic would elf get?

dragonlord

 

[Arkat]

dragonlord

or Dragon Disciple.

 

[Hobgoblin]

make it a trickster? call it loki?

I swear, if after Duergar gets announced the runner-up in the vote doesn't even get acknowledged

And so many people are asking for races to get added whose entire thing is that they're humans or elves that just have different lore and abilities that really don't translate to an mmo

I get the cool ones, like Thri-Kreen, but if we're sticking with Eberron, kobold is where it's at

I'm pretty sure people asking for kobolds are trolling, no one would actually want to play a scaly rat. What's next, a playable frog?

I think you'd be surprised how many PC kobolds you'd see. My kobold PM would be the irhvir subrace and have a Night Revels broom. A dire weasel mount sounds like fun too.

If they do add kobolds I don't think they should make them a requirement for racial completionist. It's for fun and if people don't like them they shouldn't have to play them.

"Wariness!?" The entire reason I created a ranged DPS was to kill kobolds and especially kill them in their stinky jumpy sewers. Now y'all are considering making me GROUP with them!? If you do it, please please flag them as NPCs so that I might kill them.

I would hunt kobolds in their beds,​

and then shoot them in their heads,​

I'd chase them through the snow,​

and thump them toe to toe.​

​

I would slap them with a trout,​

and then turn their pockets out,​

I'd run them up a pole,​

and heckle every kobold soul.​

​

In a barrel, in a boat,​

I'd wring each scaly throat --​

no matter young nor old,​

I'd slaughter every kobold!​

Definitely auto-pvp on. You should be hunted even in the marketsquare

You know, I bet people like you seethe with rage at not having the option to kill the many kobold npcs in Stormreach. Like the weirdos with PFPs that are suspiciously German iron cross looking.

I know we ain't getting wings or meaningful use of tails or tail weaponry like in the old 3E material, but

Kobolds are dragons. They get access to dragon feats. They're small, but mighty. If non-Eberron 4e canon Dragonborn get to be in DDO as playable, I say it's well past time for Kobolds to get a chance to be brave adventurers

A Tanky Bigback Kobold would be interesting in Raids:

 

[Archmage]

''Yark! Yark! Stab stab!''

 

[woq]

Kobold assassin rogue

Kobold stalwart tank

Kobold shintao monk

Kobold alchemist

Kobold trickster

I endorse these as my future comrades in crime - the squad of little murderhobos

They'll bond over a sixer of ale and a Big New Yarker

Chet!!

why do I think of the excremental from dogma when I see that?

 

[FaceDancer]

They're very similar in an oozy kinda way?!?

In some ways the idea of a playable kobold race turned into Hardcore. The initial idea for Kobold was a race where you'd see how far you could get with it, and after the community pretty loudly rejected the idea of a playable kobold race we did the vote and went with Dragonborn instead. Times have changed, though, perhaps, and the idea of a playable kobold race might not be as rejected today.

Cordo I have heard Severlin for YEARS talk about wanting the Gith to become reality. Is there ever going to be a time where we think we will do that? Planescape/Gith? My gosh I think people would go ape!

Secondly, should consider looking at the Bloodstone Content which is a classic. Duergar are there (since we now have them…) there are Nagas, Basilisks, Intellect Devourers, and even the River Styx, which would be an amazing wilderness area.

Yeenoghu, Demogorgon, Juiblex & Baphomet, Lolth realms accessible…

Not a troll, and also Grungs are rad as hell
