Or...use atlatls.I just thought of a good reason that kobolds couldn't use bows!Yes, but kobolds are tiny. They eat meat. They cant just run up with a spear, can they? They must be trained from the second they hatch to use a bow.
Okay, they could, but archery (IRL) takes a decade or two of training to be good at, and most kobolds don't really live long enough. Unless you're going with the vanilla maxage and not the old KC one. In that case, I'll stick to "Atlatls seem to fit kobolds better."
Maybe something like making kobolds learn bowboldship slower, but make bows stronger to compensate?Hatch? Did I mess up and leave [LAYS_EGGS] in?I just thought of a good reason that kobolds couldn't use bows!

*Checks Raws* Nope don't see it in my current raws for KC.
And if people want even if it is a major setback, but make training bows really hard?
Yeah, I meant clusters of chippable (and diggable) stone to be mineable.Even a steel sword can be broken by bashing it against a rock enough. The tip of a steel sword would make a deadly dagger, and the rest could be stuck together with a more maleable metal or with wire or leather or something to make armor or a shield or something.
Also, I'd vote for kobolds being unable to draw human and elven bows, but being able to make weaker bows of their own.
Breaking apart foreign weapons seems suitable for spears and pikes (to obtain spearheads), arrows and bolts (for arrowheads), and maybe axes (so that the axe itself can be attached to a kobold spear to act as a kind of halberd) but it seems really weird to me regarding other weapons.
And how would kobolds break apart a steel sword?
And what use will the unliftable blade be for them if they can?
I'd say only spear- and arrowheads (and maybe axes) should be useable to make kobold weapons, with all the other foreign weapons only going into traps.
EDIT: maybe they should be able to modify the handle of a dagger to make their own kobold two-handed sword, but that's about all I think.
So maybe a slow progression to zombification, but they cannont spread the virus. Only pure (elder zombies) have had the virus mature to the infectious stage.Why not? I'm sure there's something we can do, like how vampires make vampires by drinking blood!
After a bit teh infected would become sluggish, and dizzy and drowsy with fevers and seveare vomitting. Then become paralized but gain NOBREATHE. then they gain OPPOSED_TO_LIFE and NOT_LIVING and a massive stat boost to physcial abilies, and Blood is removed. But thought is left in so Braining them is a vaild kill switch.Excellent. I hope someone tries to make this! (Don't forget to turn off the old stuff once zombification sets in. Also, a chance of outright death would be good.)
Makes me want to play with this now
Were these guys dwarves? That would make it hard to choose.Rainbow Gods? And they said there weren't any gay Dwarfs...And if you think about the story of Noah and the Ark, that might say something about the deity depicted in the Bible.
There was a god of nature in one of my games - his high priest was the "First Nut" which I initially took to mean "Most Insane Person."
Originally I found her menacing, but the procedurally generated deity Nar Stintoral, or "Nar the Strifeful Laws" has grown on me. Nar most often takes the form of a rotting female dwarf and is associated with disease, death, war and fortresses, and she seems to be quite popular with the dwarves of the Sweltering Ceiling, particularly in Fort Drunkensteel...Very neat goddess.
Make it work off the Melt Object tag, and you have my +1. I end up with so many worthless crossbows when trying to train a bowyer.Seems good (assuming the name changed to Burn Object when applied to wood/cloth items). Of course, it would probably be <1 bar of charcoal per wooden item for the most part. Maybe something like the yields from melting?...Wait, aren't some weapons and stuff at >1 bar per item?
