[B]Kobalts as Characters[/B]
Most kobalt leaders are fighters or fighter/rogues.
 
The sample kobalt presented above had the following ability scores before racial adjustments: Str 10, Dex 9, Con 11, Int 13, Wis 12, Cha 8. 
 
Kobalt characters possess the following racial traits:
 
[LIST]
[*]Strength Str +2, Dex +2, Int +4, Wis +4, Cha -2.
[*]Size Small.
[*]A kobalt’s base land speed is 30 feet.
[*]Darkvision out to 60 feet.
[*]Racial Hit Dice: A kobalt begins with two levels of monstrous humanoid (reptilian), which provide 3d8 Hit Dice, a base attack bonus of +3, and base saving throw bonuses of Fort +1, Ref +3, and Will +3.
[*]Racial Skills: A kobalt’s humanoid levels give it skill points equal to 6 × (2 + Int modifier). Its class skills are Craft (trapmaking), Hide, Listen, Move Silently, Profession (miner), Search, Spot and Use Magic Device. Kobalts have a +2 racial bonus on Craft (trapmaking), Profession (miner), Search, and Use Magic Device checks.
[*]Racial Feats: A kobalt’s monstrous humanoid levels give it two feats.
[*]+2 natural armor bonus.
[*]Special Qualities (see above): Light blindness, mutations, resist mutation and poison, stonecunning

[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5214745, member: 57383"] I think so, with the appropriate stat changes. The only thing I'm slightly worried about is the LA and whether a "PC" kobalt should roll mutations on a d20 or a d100. Is LA +2 high enough? They've got good ability scores and NA, so could make nasty rogues and spellcasters. I suppose their racial HD ameliorates this problem somewhat.
