Fitting to the current 5e lore, yeah, but... not particularly appealing. This is a problem for me, because my Malebolge setting (link at bottom of post) makes pretty extensive use of kobolds.So... yeah, I'm going to homebrew my own kobold race. I've got an earlier attempt to do so further back in the thread, but I could really use some help jazzing them up and making them work. For example, I initially went with a subrace angle... but maybe I would have been better off pulling a Tiefling-style and using switchable racial traits?I can also post their racial stats from every other edition up until now, if folks could use the extra reference material.<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?492035-5e-Homebrew-Setting-Malebolge-Post-Apocalyptic-Fantasy" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?492035-5e-Homebrew-Setting-Malebolge-Post-Apocalyptic-Fantasy</a></blockquote>
