Feats for tail use?

[Krug]

Starting a campaign for kobolds and was wondering if there's any good feats governing the use of tails. What would be a feat chain for tail usage? Any suggestions?

It's pretty obscure, but Dry Lands, by Mystic Eye Games has the Dragori - a race of dragon-type people with tails, and I believe there are feats in there for tail combat, and other tail-related things. I think Bluffside (which has the same race) also has some feats. I don't have either book handy, so I can't confirm what is in where...

I'm not aware of feats (that kobolds could use, at least), but there are tail weapons in Savage Species and Vigil Watch - Warrens of the Ratmen. The latter also has a tail fighter prestige class. Don't know if that helps you?

This is frankly a brilliant idea, and I think I'm going to steal it.

Maybe a Prehensile Tail feat? Howabout a Tail Strike? Or a feat that lets your tail break off so you can get away, like a lizard??

Okay, I think I'm getting too excited about this.

Thanks for the tips. I remember the Ratmen book... there was a tail casting feat? Gotto pry open the Savage Species again.

Jester> Yeah I was thinking of the lizard tail-break off thing. Lizards use it as a distraction.

These are very good ideas. Now I've got the urge to make a "Tail Master" PrC for races with tails, including Dragon Disciples, which is similar to the "Exotic Weapons Master" PrC.

There's a Tail Attack feat in Oriental Adventures, for Nezumi and Vanara (ratmen and monkey-men, respectively). IIRC, it just let you use your tail as an off-hand weapon.

I'd probably include a feat that allowed spellcasters to use their Tails to cast spells.

There are also tail feats in Ssethregore - the Serpent Empire book from Paradigm Concepts (also probably in the player's guide to Arcanis)

Do you have Kenzers Gnome&Kobolds? It's pretty new... and it has a feat for the tail as well.
