I dunno why everyone is complaining about hit points every time they reveal a new monster. I remember when in 2E, 150 hit points was something reserved for stuff like Tiamat herself. I don't know whether 5E continued the 3E trend where you can increase your starting scores as you gain levels (so...

I expected this would detail the evolution of the species, but instead it went on to the Tucker DM's descriptions... I'd have preferred to read about just what and why changed in 3E when kobolds became draconic creatures, whose idea it was, etc. I frankly always wondered why and how the traps...
