[QUOTE="Solarious, post: 2762461, member: 27346"] For assistance in deciding how a Kobold Sorceror would work in Eberron, there is no better source that the [url=http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ebds/20050321a]holy word of Hellcow[/url]. Okay where it counts, the Kobold is a halfway decent choice to play, especially considering the cosmopolitian nature of Eberron. Plenty of goblinoids all over the place as a permenant underclass... monstorious mercenaries of Dorram (Ogre labourers, Troll shock troops, Gnoll archers)... a kobold doesn't seem too out of place. In fact, I'm playing a Kobold Artificer! :p Even though the party had a pair of gnomes (one was a cleric that disappeared, the other is a bard that my character is a bit chummy with), the real antagonism is with the Seren Barbarian without an appretiation for the finer points of magical power. :] See if your DM will give you the Daylight Adaption feat for free, mine did since Kobolds are gimped enough as it is already. Elves are also a great choice in Eberron. Specificly, you can be a Valenar elf, and have an ancestor patron that typifies nearly any concept that you want.
