Let's at least agree that if a kobold falls in lava, it should die automatically, no save.
My 3.5 era 5th level Kobold Paladin begs to differ.

I can't speak for the original poster but I can still remember back to our first 4e game and our initial impressions of kobolds. The shifting on a miss was brilliant and really captured the feel of trying to swat the little buggers. The big chunk of hit points however felt very "non"-kobold though; and felt like they were getting forced screen-time. Like most things, you keep playing and it irks you a little less each time until it just becomes part of the campaign milieu. Obviously, this is the reason for minions but that created the reverse problem for me. Minions have never felt right, particularly at higher levels but that's more related to my preference for a less cinematic style of play.So... you're mad that 4e DARED to make more advanced kobolds that could continue the threaten the party at levels above 1? Or... are you mad that Fireball doesn't have a clause in it that states "All kobolds in the area are struck dead"?
what is this topic i dont even

And yet people still dodge the question.
People the idea is simple:
What monsters can a Fireball (at the first level one can cast it ), out right kill presuming maximum damage.
Not I rolled all ones, or 3 twos etc, etc.
It is a way to gauge power level of character ability to monster hardiness.
People can answer a different question if they like:
should a 5th level Fighter be able to kill a Kobold in one swing?
In most editions, again except 4E, this has been almost unequivably true.
I said at the bare minimum I wanted Fireball to kill any Kobold.
So a power used at 5th level can not just obliterate what historically been one of the weakest HP wise! Monsters in the game?
Just state it honestly if that is how you feel.
