Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tiefling" data-source="post: 787890" data-attributes="member: 251">Allow me to expand upon my previous suggestion of enslaving them.Goblins and, to a lesser degree, kobolds make great farming and general laboring slaves because of their low food requirement; Small creatures eat only a quarter of their Medium-size cousins, occupy smaller living areas, and consequently have a fraction of the upkeep costs of a Medium-size humanoid. As farm laborers, where sheer strength and skills usually isn't very important, they excel. Even in general laboring jobs involving carrying heavy material they are superior. An average kobold can carry nearly half as much as an average human or other Medium-size creature with a Strength of 10. But requiring a quarter of the food and living space, they become twice as cost-effective. An average goblin can carry nearly two-thirds as much as an average human, and has the same benefits. Additionally these Small creatures can generally be captured with less difficulty than Medium-size humanoids, and would therefore have a lower price, meaning that the buyer can make a lower initial investment. The appropriate slaving guilds and middlemen may have contact with buyers interested in kobold concubines (either deviant humans or kobold tribes). This is a good way to get extra money from the prettier kobold females. In conclusion, there will be a good market for kobold slaves, and this is a good way for an adventuring party to make quick cash.</blockquote>
