All of them have Shifty and Trapsense as abilities (most of them, at least), and their unit tactics are built around them swarming their foes and flanking them en-masse while working alongside traps and special weapons designed to slow down their foes.Different humanoid foes will have different powerful racial abilities, and the specific versions of those races will emphasize different "racial strategies".The different stat boosts and abilities given to races in 3E were so small they might as well be negligible, and they certainly were not memorable, but in 4E that is different. Each race seems to have a core gimmick built into both the race as a whole and specific versions of the race, which makes each one stand out much more distinctly. What is more, I am willing to bet that the small details from 3E, like general stat differences, will still be in 4E (I doubt even the strongest of kobolds can match a front-line orc's Strength stat, and I certainly don't expect even a high-level kobold to be as strong as any giant).</blockquote>
