Re: GURPS Kobolds
They're an irritated SJs reaction to the kinds of nerds that start all conversations with "Well actually..."

Re: GURPS Kobolds
Thanks, yeah, Size Mod -1 or -2. I'm coming up with 73 points when I add it up now. I think the tunnelling should probably require a pick axe or shovel. It'd get their cost down by 7 points or so. I suppose it might be tunnelling 1 with their teeth and tunnelling 2 with a tool. Incidentally their temperature tolerance should probably be 45 and up rather than allowing the lower human temperature range. They're comfortable close to lava.

Re: GURPS Kobolds
Oh! That would be a nasty surprise for a delver expecting a D&D power-level kobold!

Re: GURPS Kobolds
Are these all reptilian kobolds? I can't shake my image of kobolds as being canine, which came from the ol' red box D&D and B2: Keep on the Borderlands.

Re: GURPS Kobolds
No, both the dogfaced and reptilian kobolds are basically a D&D thing. Mythical kobolds look more like D&D gnomes, ranging to a bit like monkeys, GURPS Fantasy kobolds are blueskinned and short IIRC.

In the old Moldvay D&D (Basic 'red' Box)they were "dog-like men" with "scaly rust-brown skin and no hair.". This has always* been my image of a kobold. * Until the 'cutebolds' arose in the Dwarf Fortress forums. I have to admit, I'm a cutebold fan. |

Re: GURPS Kobolds
Canine means dog-like.

Re: GURPS Kobolds
Confusingly mythical gnomes were meant to be earth elementals...
