Everybody rolls initiative, and then you take away 2 Healing Surges from people who rolled lower than the Kobold. Boom, resources drained, easily narrated in a few minutes, still can allow the PC to learn about the Kobolds. BUT 5e doesn't have Healing Surge or any other easy and handy universal way you could realize that kind of abstraction. Sounds like a lot of flipping around for no reason... I guess having BOTH the lines and the stat block could be useful. Sounds like it was just a lot of minutiae changing but with the same general philosophy. Like, they didn't change the way skills worked or feats or overhaul a class the same way the 5e Barbarian would look compared to the 3e one.</blockquote>
