I'm guessing that Fragile is an (ex) ability, but what about the Stealth and Wizard special traits?  The wizard traits are definately not on par with the other trait packages.  Also, Accelerated Communication doesn't have much of a game effect.  Perhaps something like this would be better:Accelerated Communication (ex): Koborians share information with each other at a much faster rate than any other intelligent species, in both written and spoken communication. An elder koborian (4 to 5 years old) can tell their life story in great detail within an hour to other koborians. While non-koborians can speak or read their language, they are unable to absorb the information at the same rate. In game terms, a koborian takes half the normal time to scribe a scroll, place a spell in a spellbook, make a Forgery or Decipher Script check, make a Spellcraft check to decipher a scroll or spellbook, or make any Bluff, Diplomacy, Gather Information, Intimidate, or Perform (Comedy, Oratory, or Sing) check directed at other koborians.  In addition, non-koborians take a -2 penalty to Spellcraft checks made to determine what spell a koborian is casting.Speaking bluntly, very few players are going to want to use this race, given the massive penalties to strength and the Fragile trait (which I see little point to; it's not as if the penalties to strength weren't enough to offset all of the other traits together).  I'm afraid that the race needs a lot of work, and there's many people who are better than me at helping others, making monsters, or both.</blockquote>
