Alternative Summoning Class (of Kobolds)

[fnork de sporg]

So my newest player wants a caster character that can summon kobolds and only kobolds. And only summon things. He wanted to have a list of different kinds of kobolds he can summon, like Kobold Ninjas or winged kobods, or kobolds carrying big bombs that run up to the enemy and detonate themselves.

Is there a summoner class that's at all similar to this? How would you do this? And what advice can you give me about running a game for such a character?

Look at the CRs of the Summon Monster spells and just build three kobolds of each level, including half-dragons, draconic kobolds, half-fiend (and half-celestial!) kobolds and so on. Give them classes and so on.

The character just sounds like a kobolophiliac conjurer to me. And good on him!

Dragon Magazine #302 has variant summoning rules where it tells you what the CR ranges are for all the summoning monster spells. You could then use this to make the kobolds that can be summoned with each of the spells.
