"Kobolds are better than goblins" They hated nonat because he told them the truth

Kobolds have always been better than goblins. They're DRAGON goblins. What's not to love?

While I am inclined to agree I put them on the same level. Goblins are super fun due to their badass versatility. You can place a Goblin inside any and all situations and they have lore reasons they will adapt. Kobolds meanwhile are amazing in the ways they can outwit much higher level enemies and are often overestimated.

I've made a kobold summoner with a dragon eldalon, not the best pairing with the dragon being a striker with a weak kobolt helping with hp, but the joke at the beginning is the best. *Two dragons walk into a bar. One riding the other.*

I had a Kobold Summoner in DnD 3.5. Only took summon spells and status effects as a sorcerer. Had a felldrake familiar and rode a monitor lizard. Moved to financially ruin the kingdom of Dunwin for refusing to give him a title when his party members did. He organized kobold crafters to sell quality goods at slashed prices.

It's important to note, while kobolds are typically chromatic or metallic in color, they can resemble any true dragon, from the primal dragons to the imperial, planar, and even esoteric dragons like nightmare dragons. Most of these don't have statblocks yet in 2e, but you can look them up from PF1e for reference. So you could be a Havoc Kobold, harbinger of chaos if you so choose! Or an enigmatic Nightmare Kobold, with dark scales and pure red eyes. You could radiate pure good as a Paradise Kobold, and so on! Keep in mind, you will have to work with your GM for stuff like element damage, breath weapon shape, and saving throw. PF1e in the sorcerer bloodline addressed this, so if you need reference, that isn't a bad place to start.

I made a kobold that looked like he was made of cast iron because iron dragons are a thing.

There's a caveclimber kobold gunslinger in my campaign. He climbs the champion in full plate and uses him as a living shield

This idea would take a few levels to put together, but a Geniekin Kobold who learns how to use a Wishblade could spend their turn breathing fire on their enemies before capturing the elemental energy of their breath weapon into their sword and slashing their enemy with more fire.

The very first game of 2e i ran, one of my players was a half-elf kobold abjuration wizard with a fighter archetype who firmly believed he was a normal elf and was trying to learn all the elven techniques.

I'm actually running an all Kobold 1shot with friends, next weekend, will be the first time they're playing pathfinder. So this is very conveniently timed.

17th level crafting feat: Yeeting Snares. You've learned how to create traps that add insult to injury. Any creature damaged by one of your snares gets yeeted in a 15 foot arc of your choice.

My players adopted Pip and Zarf from the Age of Ashes campaign and then later played them for a side campaign I ran when everyone couldn't be there for the Age of Ashes campaign. Part of the adopation was to take them to Jorrell to teach them the basics and then temples in town to help mentor them. Pip became a might Dragon Wizard and Zarf who is implied to have a thing for the leader of there Tribe back in the Mwgani Expanse Hezle became a Bard to learn the songs to woo her. My players are also real sad everytime they read about how other parties just killed those two kobolds.

My 2 concepts for guns & gears: toy soldier poppet gunslinger which is basically a nutcracker doll that was mass-produced by a crazy guy. The second one is an armor inventor pixie sprite. The sprite is still tiny but it's always in his small size armor like it's a mech suit. As for kobolds, my first character would probably be a caveclimber giant instinct barbarian. My latest character was a NG bard aasimar/strix who hated being constantly mistaken with angels.

I'm currently playing a (red) Dragonscaled Kobold Sorcerer, with her Draconic heritage being a bronze dragon - having that internal struggle of good and evil more pronounced than most should make for some fun moments!

I always found it strange when a feat says "Requires Trained in X" when the same feat either gives said training or the Class gives training in that skill. Inventor and Alchemist have feats that require Trained in Crafting, and they get that. It's still ironic that the Alchemist has the wording "You gain the Alchemical Crafting feat, even if you don't meet the prerequisites", when the class gives you Trained in Crafting. Also looked at Nethys, and Snare Setter does still give you Trained in Crafting while also needing it to get the Feat.

Future proofing?

I planned my current kobold when the APG came out, and we finally started our second campaign, giving me the opportunity to play him--I'm playing a white dragonscaled kobold barbarian with the black dragon instinct, and I'm going to take blue dragon disciple archetype. 3 breath weapons!

I intend to play a Kobold Ranger with a Riding Drake companion. I love the idea of a Kobold having their very own DRAGON that they ride on and fight with!

Definitely recommend trying out a Kobold. Having a full party of all Kobolds just makes the entire campaign a blast to play.

I currently have a kobold character on hold for PFS. The reason it's on hold is because I'm waiting to get the "Touched by Dahak" Background, which requires finishing the Age of Ashes AP (currently nearing the end of book 3). The concept is a Kobold Ancestors Oracle, but rather than being plagued by the spirits of his ancestors, he's plagued by the different aspects of the god Dahak.

I play a level 10 Kobold sorcerer, blue dragon type. It's 1st edition still. She had successfully earned a citizenship in a human kingdom, introduced capitalism to her fellow Kobold's, and is working on being enobled, so she can further raise the status of her people in her new lands. Along the way she's nearly started a riot over cross species mating (she really doesn't care, but it covered her parties get away), and successfully staged a coup in another city to put someone else into power to would look more kindly onto Kobold's.

I am really wanting to play a Kobold Summoner with a Dragon Eidolon who takes the Snarecrafter archetype to go all in on snares. Meanwhile the Dragon Eidolon breathes on people and smacks them around. The ideal combo comes at level 10 when you can get the Pushing Attack class feat. Setup a snare behind an enemy then get your Eidolon to attack them and get a free shove to push them into the snare for extra fun time damage.

A kobold character I wanna play in the next PF2E game I can play in is a homebrew Pink (Sonic Damage, Cone) Dragonscale Kobold Warpriest Cleric of Sarenrae with the Amnesiac background named Pin'Kee. The little backstory I had for him is that he one day woke up with no memories and only a shoty wooden holy symbol of Sarenrae, and travelled, getting ridiculed by towns although all he wanted to do was help people. The whole Pink kobold idea was from a race trait in Pathfinder 1E called Carnation Scales, which made the kobold an outcast from Kobold tribes because of your light pink scales but gave you a bonus to survival, me and a friend of mine (the GM of the PF2E) campaign I'm running loved the idea of Pink kobolds just being outcast since it made sense, Like what Dragons are Pink??

The reason we chose sonic is because 1, it's underused and 2, it seems accurate since well, breathing fire or freaking lightning is 100x scarier than screaming loudly. I'd more so flavour my character's use of Breath attacks to be, he's so terrified so he just does it more so because of the genuine fear, rather than an innate ability whenever he picks up the 'Breath' ancestry feats

Admittedly the only kobalt build I came up with was a magus who has the free archetype of snare Crafter, he's just a little guy bragging about his immense and numerous victories and his magical powers but he is never stayed and fought a fair fight in his life.

A kobold summoner with a dragon eidolon would make for a cool combo...

I just started playing Shiggi Shinescales, a bronze kobold who eats rats, plays violin, and serves as a cleric of Shelyn! He just joined the circus after the death of our monk

Ally's Shelter seems pretty good in a boss fight. Makes playing a class with low saves a lot easier.

I have a Kobold Bard, who leads a small band of red kobolds. they befriended a bronz or brass dragon and treat her as a deity. one session our little band came across a watch tower, and one of my other Team mates decided the tower was blowing raspberries at us. Subsequently my kobold stating she is allergic to Raspberries and leading the team to take on every Guard in the tower including their captain and killing them all. Save the captain who they offered as a present to their Dragon Princess ( the Brass or Bronz). It was a good time had by all and to date she is still one of my very favorite characters I have ever played. ZowZow the Bighty is her name. for a while I had her singing a song to the tune of "Jockser the mighty" from Xena. I love her. Favorite kobold ever.

I’ve always liked Kobolds as a way to access Dragon Disciple without having to be a sorcerer. Thanks to the expansion on dragon types in Mwangi Expanse I can finally make a forest dragon disciple kobold plant druid.

Unexpectables. First go. Task (Tarasque) if you know, you know just how epic a Kobold can be. Redscale. Great storytelling! And OMG the under-the-table romance. Thanks, Montyglu! How to play a Kobold long enough to make him epic? Aside from having Chris Zito play him, play to the strengths and avoid (like the plague) the weaknesses. Which means: be a distance fighger, not a tank! Duh! Okay, so now that some of you have listener to a few (heehee) episodes of The Unexpected led (first run)....

I'm currently playing A Spellscale Kobold (with white scales) Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer in Agent's of Edgewatch. Frost believes he is an Actual White Dragon (he's not), and someone (he knows not who) stripped him of his power and trapped him in the weak body he now occupies. His personal goal is to regain his former power and body, but he's not exactly the smartest. He is smart enough to know that there must be a book somewhere that can help him with this, or possibly multiple books, but such research is expensive. So he has joined the guard to both earn money and eventually a higher rank as higher ranked people have access to more guarded secret books (so he believes). My free Archetype feats are going into Dragon Disciple so that Frosty can gain, even if temporarily, access to some of his former power. At the levels where Dragon Disciple feats don't actually do anything because Frosty is a Draconic Sorcerer, I'm planning on Multiclassing into Wizard as a mechanical way of showing what he's learned from all his research into regaining his power. To Further play on the research theme, I'm also planning on taking Arcane Evolution to gain my Spellbook a few levels earlier than when i plan on Multiclassing. As for Frosty's Kobold ancestry feats, I have Kobold Breath (because he's a dragon) and plan on taking all the feats for Wings (because dragons fly).

"Kobolds are better than Goblins" This has been known for like 25 years now :) #teamkobold

One thing that surprise me is that they AC can be nuts.

Love the Kobold, want to play a super trap Koblod Ranger for all the traps ;)

i played a Black Dragonscaled Kobold Monk Dragon Disciple named Vixnax. Fun! but only until level 2 because pbp is really slow. Their background is great. Vixnax was born in a small kobold village in a swamp next to a desert. They were born with thick, black dragonscales that showed they were a chosen one, their life purpose to serve a giant black dragon living on a mountain west of the village. When it was time for them to go serve their master, Vixnax took a wrong turn and ended up travelling the desert to the east, where they met a bronze dragon. The dragon took pity on vixnax and taught them how to fight, becoming the first disciple of the bronze dragon.

I know I'm late to the party, but my kobold is a cleric to the god of cooking. His name is Éclair, and as he only speaks Draconic, the party druid is the only one who can translate for him. As such they have an agreement that he must us live traps and make sure whatever animal he catches isn't a friend of the druid's before he kills and cleans it. Many a traumatized rabbit has had to spend a large portion of the game being carried by the druid. Also, an npc paladin that traveled with the party for a bit was cut by accident and now Éclair refers to him as 'canned goods'.

I heard your initial statement and I knew then that you're a man of culture. Kobolds are 100% better than goblins! I totally wrote a book with Kobolds as the main character, I wonder if you'd like it...

Built a Duskwalker Kobold Swashbuckler in PFS. This just points out all the things I can do with them now.

Dragon-scaled red kobold with breath weapon at level 1 who is a flames mystery oracle. Credit goes to a GM who knew I wanted a fire-themed character; so, he offered me fire to go with my fire so that I can set fire to things while on fire.

I played a Kobold Redemption Champion. I was the tank and the strongest member of the party and surprisingly had either the most hit points or was tied for the most pretty much the entire time I played him. Funnily enough, he was also the shortest member of a party that also had a hafling, goblin, and a short catfolk. And I love breaking molds like that where the tiny person is super strong and is supposed to be up front or someone big and impossible being of the backlines. Granted I haven't been able to do that second one a whole lot because our party has desperately needed a tank.

Hmm... If I were to make a Kobold, he'd probably be a Warpriest Cleric of Apsu with the Draconic Sorcerer dedication. I'd give him this heroic, kinda stupid, "Good-boy, Draconic Angel of Justice" personality. That could be a lot of fun, in fact, Imma go build that character right now!

My only experience with Pathfinder is the Owlcat games, so you can imagine my surprise the first time I met a Kobold in-game and they weren't dog people like they are in most other fantasies.

Cringe is cool, if you have a resistance to dmg also you can take even less dmg cause they stack since differnt types of damage debuff

As someone whose first ever ttrpg character was a kobold druid, the intro made me smile, you are correct :P

Note for Hatchling flight, it actually accentuates the original winglets. Say you can reasonably jump 25 feet, you can now with a 30 foot movespeed with fleet jump 40 feet, since you can activate that second action fight AFTER the original jump. Likewise much the same for something around a 25 foot high jump.

"You never see kobolds above level 3!" Obviously, sir, you have not run afoul of Kobold Kommandos. I used them as a DM to TPK a party, and the replacement party, and half of the replacement-replacement party, before they managed to chase them out of their warren. Even in Pathfinder 1e, they didn't have a penalty to Int, so any tactics or traps a human could think of, so could they. Alchemical fire, murder holes, hit and run attacks to waste the party's spell slots, every 'normal sized' corridor was full of traps, while the kobolds used much smaller tunnels that inflicted penalties on the medium sized player characters... the list goes on. And all that was before giving them class levels. Monsters, used correctly, will have the players in a cold sweat thinking about how to deal with them. Even the "weak" ones.
