Kobold

Kobolds are creatures of the dark, found most commonly in enormous underground warrens or the dark parts of the forest where the sun is unable to reach. Because of their physical similarities, kobolds loudly proclaim themselves the scions of dragonkin, destined to rule the earth beneath the wings of their great god-cousins, although dragons have little use for the obnoxious pests.
Most kobolds still live in tribes, using traps and their vast numbers to overcome their enemies. Adventurers hailing from these tribes are often seen as heroes, as they dare to travel to places where other won't go.
Play a kobold if you want…

• to be yipping pest.
• to have a passion for tunneling and traps.
• to be a member of a race that favors the alchemist, fighter, and rogue classes.
