[QUOTE="Shabe, post: 4408265, member: 66108"] So if a kobold with a stat block saying wearing no armour and carrying a spear and light spear would be described the same as a kobold wearing leather armour and carrying two short swords? I don't get your point. Surely the ones with two shorts swords (skyblades) are described along the lines of Armed with two short swords and wearing leather armour this wary and agile kobold has a keen eye that is looking for the slightest gap in your guard. as opposed to the kobold minions These scrawny kobolds scream challenges in draconic as they cautiously gather round you hurling their javelins in your direction. I just can't see how you can describe a minion in the exact same way as a normal creature. Its like not saying that the one at the back is carrying a small bone wand (the wyrmpriest) and then surprising the players when he casts a spell. Whoo I suck, thanks for telling me, you might want to rephrase that as an opinion. But seriously why can't it come down to the fact that the minions do not look as combat trained or well equiped, the players are going to figure it out, the characters are going to figure it out. Why does it irk you so much that people (players or characters) can tell who the poor sods are, that aren't going to make it through the battle. [/QUOTE]
