[QUOTE="AllisterH, post: 4861885, member: 51325"] The thing is, kobolds in 4e ARE just low level threats across all editions. In 2e, a single kobold could certainly ruin your day as a 1st level PC (which as a 2e DM I can attest to. I think the only difference is that the scale in 4e isnt as sharp as in previous editions. Once a fighter hits 5th level, gets some plate armour plus shield and or finds a magic cloak/ring, with the mage having enough scrolls/slots to be using frieball, have a cloak and bracers plus more hp, the kobolds quickly become well too weak as the gear of the PCs and their abilites simply outstrips them. 4e's more gradual slope means that this doesn't kick in until a high level. (As an aside, how many rounds of combat do people think is too long anyway?) re: "Arbitary" PrC entrance requirements Er, didn't the Red wizard and the witches of Rashemen have the "must be from Thay/must be female" entry requirements? I've stopped DMing 3.x but I thought it was totally cool to have such PrC such as "only if you're a local from this area can you enter". [/QUOTE]
