Kobold babies...

[Arravis]

My PC's have inherited two kobold eggs, which are about to hatch... anyone have an idea of what kind of stats to give kobold babies?

Overeasy.

My recommendation for kobold babies is barbecue sauce. They taste like chicken and are quite tender if you marinate them properly.

Virtually none. They will have infant kobolds. Are they planning on raising them for 10+ years?

They should have made kobold omelette while they could. Mmmmm, kobold omelette!

As my wife says...

But they're soooo cute!

The recent dragon article (or was it Slayers Guides to Kobolds?) has them maturing in 2-3 years. Our campaign has already taken up 3 years of so of in-game time, so such a thing is not unplayable.

Btw, they are Meepo's kids

i'd say the young die before hatching.

obviously, if the pcs have no idea how to care for them. any moving or manipulation or improper handling would be detrimental to the eggs.

removing them from the right location, temperature, lack of cooing to them...

Is it me, or are kobolds the new smurfs? They aren't cute, they are vicious little xenophobes, the bastard children of a chihuahua, rat, and some sort of reptilian chicken.

That's rather arbitrary. The PC's are 19th level and have quite a bit of both arcane and divine magic at their disposal, and they are interested in keeping and attempting to raise the kobolds. Why shouldn't they be able to?

Give them no stats other than one hit point the first year. Give them half-stats for however long you want to say they're children. Races of the Dragon might have some insight on this, but I doubt it.
