Kobold Skirmisher

In this thread on the Paizo message boards I saw a link to this picture of the Kobold Skirmisher stat block.

Cool. (Doh!) Thanks for posting.

I notice that he has tons of HP for a first-level enemy. In fact, considering his mediocre Con he actually has more HP than most of the players do. I also really like his abilities: sneak attack (if reduced to 1d6) and free shifting (since he wouldn't be using those minor actions for much else) mean that this skirmisher really will be sliding around the battlefield trying to poke PCs in the back.

He also does 1d8 damage, instead of the 1d6-1 or so he would have done in 3e. All in all, the kobolds are not so useless anymore.

actually quite competent for a first Level enemy... i don´t want to face him in 3e

I guess this isn't a "minion"?

You really don't want to be surrounded by them either, do you? 8 kobolds, each attacking at +13 and doing 1d8 + 1d6? That's gotta hurt no matter how many hit points you have!

holy crap, you're right. That's terrifying!

That's one tough kobold...1st level PC's aren't looking quite so uber anymore.

Now I wonder what that "mob attack" thing is....

Brilliant news - I was hoping that at least one monster would turn up so I could try running a 'mini 4e' game on Sunday night

Nice clean look to the stat block, easy to read, easy to reference.
This skirmisher looks more challenging that the kobolds of old. I wonder what other kobold stat blocks will be like.
