C'mon, if you have 1 measly hit die, no cool special attacks and the other general kobold traits, would you really try to stand toe-to-toe with anyone? They don't have the physical might to do anything but use good tactics if they want to survive.I've TPK'ed four parties with kobolds because the characters were stupid enough to charge into the kobold lair head-on. They were genuinely surprised to learn that the kobolds had set a bunch of traps, used crossbows from behind cover, and tied their movement options up trying to break through doors or climb over berms and ditches. These aren't brilliant tactics, they're elementary tactics. Even if you have overwhelming superiority in quality or numbers, it's a poor fighter that doesn't try to fight on his terms. It's not a soldier's (or a DM's job) to fight fair...</blockquote>
