I'd implement 3e kobolds as a racial package as something like:
Kobold (-5 points)
Attribute Modifiers: ST -3 [-30], DX +1 [20]
Secondary Characteristic Modifiers: SM -2 [0]
Advantages: DR 1, Flexible (Scales) [4], Infravision [10], Kobold Trickery 2 [10], Sharp Teeth [1]
Disadvantages: Cowardice (12) [-10], Social Stigma (Savage) [-10]
*Kobold Trickery adds to Lockpicking, Mining, Scrounging, Sleight of Hand, and Traps, as well as Alchemy rolls to create harmful or destructive materials.
