What do you think? Kobold as a player? I love these guys, can it work? -4 str and -2 con hurts, but I've really got the urge to play one.

Races of the Dragon has some alternate class features which makes Kobolds a bit more viable (i.e. Fighter substitution levels giving it a bonus to Str). Still sub-optimal but by no means unplayable. Also a boost if you're going to play a kobold sorcerer (it gains the dragonblood subtype).

Of course kobolds can be PCs. I am still waiting on one of my friends to get up the guts to let me play a kobold sorcerer with the augment summoning feat!

Surely you have heard of our Koboldnomicon? Where is Whizbang when I need him?

Oh, the little guy above was done by Herman Lau for the book.

Small size and a 30 foot base move is a rather cool and unique combination.

2 of my best friends are running a "kobolds only" campaign and their group is loving it so far. I believe they are also using Races Of The Dragon for their game. I was supposed to join their campaign, but I'm already running 2 groups and playing in a Rolemaster group. Joining a 4th would just convince my wife that I need to be committed!

Kobolds rock. Even without many of the available third party supplements.

Don't underestimate their combat prowess, the lack of str hurts but they can do fine due to their good AC and mobility.

The Scout class would make an astonishing kobold fighter.

Not as unique as you might think...

But goblins aren't nearly as loveable.
