[QUOTE="Lonely Tylenol, post: 2150195, member: 18549"] Kobolds. My players are utterly paralyzed by kobolds. Not that I had anything to do with that...*cough* I still tell the story of the two party members who decided to go and assault the kobold end of a particular dungeon after the rest of the party had got what they came in for and were on their way out. They didn't bring the rogue with them. There were traps. They escaped with their lives after losing a masterwork longsword and about 15 points of Str to the kobolds and their damnable poisons. They never actually saw a kobold either, just heard the mocking laughter echoing through the cracks in the walls. The thing that some people forget about kobolds is that you can design a kobold encounter for any EL. They can get class levels just like humans, and they get a racial bonus to crafting traps. A couple of kobold experts and a sorcerer or two and you've got yourself a TPK without the kobolds having to even lift a finger. They can just sit back and watch the show. [/QUOTE]
