Am I safe to assume that the whole kobolds as clever, magicky, sadistic masters of trapmaking thing originated with Tucker's Kobolds? I had never heard of Tucker's Kobolds before this thread, but I've read it now. And yeah, it does sound like Tucker was a bit too in love with his creations.And you say (if I'm understanding you correctly): If you remove Tucker from the Kobolds, they're not worth much in a fight as they're written. So to make them worth a damn, you'd have to either boost their stats (and thus defeating the point) or cheat.Which is true. But it doesn't matter, because the traps, tactics, cruelty, etc are the point. That a bunch of low-level reptiles on home ground can beat you, thanks to tactics and forethought, just like a PC can beat a higher level foe with the same. Because Kobolds are more than just stats. They're sentient creatures that created this death trap of a home. That's the point. Tucker is the point!Anyway, CA and Aid Another goes a long way.</blockquote>
