Special Abilities:

• Energy Resistance 10 (Ex): This replaces (does not stack with) the racial energy resistance that the Kobold chose at character creation. His scales become more vibrant in color.
• Natural Armor (Ex): The specified value replaces the Kobold's racial Nagural Armor bonus.
• Elemental Spell Power (Su): When casting spells with the energy descriptor that matches the Kobold's energy resistance, the character's Caster Level gains the indicated bonus.
• Draconic Ability: The Kobold gains one ability based on its scale color as follows:
  - Red: Extra +1 Natural Armor bonus (Ex)
  - Green, Black: Water Breathing (Ex)
  - Blue: Create Water (Sp): 3/day, caster level = character level
  - White: Icewalking (Ex)
• Breath Weapon (Su): The Kobold may use this special attack up to 4/day as a standard action once every minute. The DC is 10 + 1/2 the Kobold's character level + Con bonus, and the breath weapon deals 4d8 damage in the type & shape indicated:
  - Red: 15 ft. cone of Fire
  - Green: 15 ft. cone of Acid gas
  - Blue: 30 ft. line of Electricity
  - Black: 30 ft. line of Acid
  - White: 15 ft. cone of Cold
