DM with a vengence
First Post
I notice that a standard Kobold has 1/2 d8 hp. If I were to make a second level Kobold, would he have 2 1/2 d8? How about a Kobold Fighter, 1/2 d10 hp?
Opinions?
Opinions?
Dr_Rictus said:No. Creatures with 1 or fewer hit dice use only their character levels, if they have 'em. A kobold fighter gets 1d10 (adjusted for Constitution) like anybody else.
Personally, I think it was a mistake of them not to just have the standard kobold be a 1st-level commoner. It's led to just this sort of confusion.
Gez said:All 1-HD humanoid have 1 level of warrior (not fighter, not commoner, warrior). Humanoid with less than 1 HD (kobolds are the only example) or with more than 1 HD (like bugbears) have monstrous HD.
Non-classed 1HD humanoids would probably have 1/2 humanoid HD like the kobolds (so a nonclassed elf would get a 1/2 d8 HD).

Ain't no such thing as an unclassed 1HD humanoid. Such creatures always have a character class, which for the majority of the population will be commoner.

Except Kobolds.
Hey, actually, every humanoid race have lots of unclassed member. See the PH, Chapter 6: Description. It lists the minimal age for a first level character by race. For example, no human adventurer can be younger than 16 years (15 + a roll of '1').
A 70-year old elf is going to be unclassed.
Searching the SRD, here is the only indication of children:hong said:
Actually, is there any indication that children exist in D&D-land?
Of course, I notice that there is no "human" creature listed in the Monster Manual. Is this in one of the expansions, or is this race just a common House Rule?Characters typically use prestidigitations to impress common
folk, amuse children, and brighten dreary lives.
