    Kobold as Viable PC Race?

    The reason that kobolds are fun to play is that it is a test of player skill. Use MM for base adjustments, roll up a character, and ignore all of the newer alterations designed to make them "playable". Removing the con penelty or adding a cha bonus means that it isn't a kobold anymore. It...
