Kobold (Class, Pages)

Kobolds are small demihuman creatures that stand 3 feet tall and weigh 30-40 pounds. They have enhanced abilities related to stealth, traps, and senses. As they level up, kobolds gain increased hit dice, improved armor class and attack bonuses, higher chances of success with skills, and eventually the ability to establish a stronghold that attracts other kobolds. Their prime abilities are intelligence and dexterity.

RollingSkillChecks
All skills except hear noise are rolled on d%,
with a result of less than or equal to the listed
percentage indicating success.
Hear noise is rolled on 1d6. If the roll is within
the listed range of numbers, the skill succeeds.

Player Knowledge
The referee should roll for hear noise, hide in
shadows, and move silently on the player’s
behalf, as the kobold does not immediately
know if the attempt was successful.
