Kobold Skirmisher

[Fallen Seraph]

May I ask where the information on the minions is coming from? And what is actually said?

See the "Monster Stats!" thread in the 4E News forum. Xath has linked to her Picasa page with pics of all the monster statblocks. The pic with the kobold minion is 3rd row down, 5th across.

Thanks

What's REALLY funny is that the kobold skirmisher has Int 6, but the kobold minion has Int 9....

I am surprised you can even make it out, its so blurry.

Which means the minion, who knows he's a one-hit wonder, will stay far in the back...

Rich Burlew is gonna have a field day w/4e.

Looks like kobold minions can't crit. They do a set amount of damage, which means it can not be maximized.

Still, 4 for 100xp is a nice deal on warm bodies. And this confirms that 20 goblins at first level remark.

Where are you getting this information?

EDIT: Found it in the Paizo thread:

From what I heard from people at DDXP, this is a "middle level" Kobold; there's a "Kobold Mook" apparently that does a fixed 2 points of damage per hit and dies in droves too, and there's a Kobold Chieftan that can eat the Mooks and Skirmishers for breakfast...

Hit Points are now: CON score + Class Value + CON bonus at first level, and Class Value + CON Bonus at all subsequent levels.
Apparently Kobolds have high CON scores...

Ok, deep breath...

27 FRAGGING HP? WTF?! Will NOTHING die in in one hit anymore?

I hope to high hell there are still kobold minions with 3-5 HP out there...

Heh. Turns out minions literally die in one hit now. They don't even have hp. You hit them and they die.

I'm not entirely sure that this isn't done for convenience for the delve.
