Oh, wow. A psionic kobold is a recurring D&D character concept for me. Psion is perhaps my favourite D&D class; kobolds are just plain awesome - so mixing the two together is an obvious step forward.

Kineticist, eh? I've only relaly had Kineticists as NPCs in my games; their blasting-focus is a bit too overt for my play style. I've generally found Telepaths or high-level Egoists to be amongst the most powerful psionic character classes; Telepaths can easily dominate the battle (literally!), and cheap, subtle powers like Death Urge can make a serious mess of someone's day. Egoists have powers that really help them stay alive, and with Metamorphosis and the Metamorphic Transfer feat, can quickly get powerful enough that I've actually banned the feat from my games to prevent the array of abuses it allowed!

Nice to see I'm not alone in the psionic kobold division...

Although, technically, I believe the 'Dragonwrought' kobold actually changes your type from Humanoid (Dragonblood) to Dragon outright, if we're talking about the Races of the Dragon feat?

Heh, I enjoy playing kobolds of any kind. this is just the only one I got to play from level 1 to over 20. ^^ I played a kinetist not for the damage side, but because his specialty was 'moving things'. It was a RP aspect more then anything. Trust me, I might have been a kineticist, but I wasn't 'blasting-focused'. I forgot what his specialty but it was the 'creating things' specialty. I moved things into place, and he reforged it to something appropriate, and then I 'gave it life' so to speak.


As for the dragonwrought bit, i can't find my book, which is why it's taking me so long to respond, but I remember it saying that it added the dragon subtype, not that it changed it to dragon, I might be wrong *shrugs*. It's one of the newer books, and as such have not memorized much of the stuff that I would have liked to.

I'm envious. I've never had a character run from level 1 to level 20; I'm the only DM I know who's run a campaign right the way through amongst my gaming group, sadly.

Sounds more like a Shaper than a Kineticist... were the specialty powers ones like Fabricate, and Astral Construct? For that matter, are we talking 3rd edition psionics, or 3.5? I'm only expert in v3.5 psionics and 2nd edition AD&D psionicists... I managed to skip 3rd edition entirely, believe it or not!

I also enjoy playing kobolds of any kind. The only times I haven't, are because the DM has either asked me not to; they haven't existed in the setting; or I've been designing a character while I already had so many active kobolds, it was time for something a bit different.

The advantage of having lots of short games, I suppose... more kobolds

Yea, the human was a shaper. Couldn't remember it, but those where his favorites, especially fabricate.

I'm kind of the same way, I usually keep with kobolds whenever I can unless it just isn't the best.

Kobolds start off (according to RotDragon) as Humanoid(Dragonblood, Reptillian). The feat: Dragonwrought specifically states: Your type is dragon rather then humanoid, and you lose the Dragonblood subtype.

So therefore Dragonwrought Kobolds are Dragon(Reptillian) :x We're both wrong XD

It sounds almost like WotC were making some sort of comment on draconic biology if reptillian dragons are a distinct subgroup.

he has nice abs :o

Thanks, I was using another picture (the psion) from the book and ... well been looking at it and debating if I should have used black or dark brown to make them less ... pronounced :\
