| Post subject: | Kobold Wiki |
I want to write a new Kobold article for Amia wiki, the one we have there isnt in depth enough considering Kobold is a player race. I have a "Races of the Dragon" sourcebook on hand as well as the old ADnD Draconomicon. Does anyone have any suggestions or requests they would like to see in my submital? |

That fact that kobolds aren't cuddly little dogmen, dangit. But yeah, sounds like you have good sources. Societal information would be a big help. |

As far as I am aware, Races of the Dragon overrules other Realms stuff and so is the main source for all things kobold. It's also one of those rare cases where the updated edition actually has as much (or more!) information than older edition stuff, so I believe it can safely be used entirely in place of 2nd Ed flavor. (Usually, the 3rd Ed stuff seemed to fizzle out with non-mechanical details, leaving us needing to refer to older stuff to fill in the actual meat. But in this situation, I'm pretty sure Races of the Dragon covers everything and more, and is the final word, besides DMs, where contradictions or conflicts of information or the like appear.) Also: AmiaWiki wrote: Copyright - Please do not just copy/paste large excerpt from a lore book. This is illegal and might get us into trouble. Instead try to rephrase the thing and just add the page you are writing off as a source. If you use images from books, be sure to cite the source.

I plan on doing a lot of societal information, i find the view of most people on Kobolds are basiclly as subteranean mining goblins-like thingies who worship dragons and hate gnomes. But theres way more then that, which is what i want to stress. |

I completely agree with that, races of the dragon is a treasure trove of information compared to most 3.5 stuff. And ill be sure to be careful im not quoting the book. |

As I understand it, Realms products overrule anything and everything in regards to other core sourcebooks. |

A few notes/nitpicks: Quote: black in colour.A Kobolds face It should be 'black in colour. A Kobold's face'. I also find the 'space after period' is missing in a few other places. Similarly, when addressing adjectives, it's 'Kobold's', not 'Kobolds', 'Kobolds' refers to plural 'Kobold'. Quote: they can stretch out their legs and stand about a foot taller but tend not to because doing so is uncomfortable. Given the picture in the monster manual, I'm not sure if they can do this. (Add citation?). I know they have reverse joint legs in the NWN model, but not in the MM. Quote: with a jaw that opens wide, wide enough in fact to hold a watermelon.
Fact check? I'm not sure if they can. (They are small). Also, on grammar, it should be 'with a jaw that opens wide enough to hold a watermelon.' If the above is true. Thats all I see for now. |
