Giggle.

 

[Nifft]

Heck, you could build a whole character concept out of just Epic Toughness and Epic Reputation. Throw in Epic Speed, and ... wow.

Said Kobold can also alter-self into various dragons, correct?

Said Kobold can also alter-self into various dragons, correct?

Various non-templated dragons that are within one size category of itself and have 5 hd or less. Which is basically some wyrmlings, but not all.

It's not really that great of an option. For true dragons, anyway.

Faerie dragons might be good - anyone have the stats handy?

 

[Nifft]

Yeah, true dragons have annoyingly high hit dice, which severely limits the utility of alter self.

Pseudodragon would be okay if you needed to fly (or to otherwise be Tiny).

[Mycanid]

Nope. Wouldn't fly. Kobolds have 1 racial hit die and advance by class. Racial hit dice are not a class, so you're out of luck.

This is basically what I thought on the matter too.

I heard somewhere (can't recall if it was in the FAQ, or Ask the Sage, or the WotC site) that even though a monster has advancement "by class", the DM can opt to advance it by HD instead. Am I seeing things?

 

[Len]

Yes, a DM can advance a monster by increasing its HD, but a player cannot advance a character that way. Not normally, anyway.
