View Full Version : 3.5 Kobold Character Brainstorm

Recently I came up with these concepts for a kobold in eberron, the only thing all builds have in common is Kobld and of course Dragonwrought (I like the "free" stat bump sue me and tons of of RP opportunities concerning the dragons and the draconic profecy)

Ok first build

Kobold Artificer.

What I like to do with this build is a weak (even by kobold standards) kobold who in an effort to overcome this weakness started to try to find ways to benefit from his higher than normal inteligence, his studies eventually leading to artificery XD.

Basically this artificer will be focused on golems and other constructs for battle, transport and other misc things. I am actually thinking on making an effigy of a huge creature (probably some kind of dragon) to use as a tank/mobile base.

Second Concept
Kobold Dread Necromancer/Walker in the Wastes

Concept:
This kobold as showed great arcane promise when he was hatched so the tribe leader (I forgot if kobold have other name for them) tried to nurture him into sorcery; the tribe was right on his arcane progrees but instead of sorcery he showed great progress in necromancy and so he became a dread necromancer. His newfound power over life and death made him a bit dellusional and he started trying to find ways to become immortal. He has travelled through all the 5 nations looking for this information. On one of the universities of Karnath he found text detailing the dry lich and how to become one. Right now he is looking for some good quality corpses for his experiments in the mournlands.

This build will be a vanilla dread necro going into walker in the wakes, who will have his undead for heavy muscle work, and will help from the edges of the fray with some de-buffs, a bit of direct damage and what no maybe even get into the fray after softening the enemies from afar.
I need to find a way to get both dragonwrought and Tomb-tainted soul. Now that think so is Tomb tainted soul a first level only feat?

Uttercold Kobold

A kobold who hails form a snowy (for my life I can't remember the snowy part of Eberron, anyone kind enough to enlighten me please?) part of eberron. He is apprenticed to a master evoker who likes to blow stuff up, to his master chagrin this kobold doesn't like to blow up stuff, he likes to freeze stuff and THEN blow it up.

Basically a blaster wizard using energy sub (cold) piercing cold and uttercold assault (maybe even black lore of moil). and I need to get a metamagic reducers...maybe Incantrix or is it too cheesy?'

Thinking on being a domain wizard, cold domain or fire just for irony (and maybe show his teachings.

BTW if can get any of this builds past my DM they are ECL 10.

Any comments, advice suggestions for any concept will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Bump

Also is there a way to make a half-construct half undead? because If yes then the dread necro build will have an artificer cohort for increasing the power of his minions.

For the Utterbold:

More cold subtyped dragons that you can shake a stick at:

Whitedragonspawn (LA Buyoff) Loredrake Dragonwrought Desert [Tundras are Deserts!] Kobold Sorcerer 1/Kobold Paragon 3/Mindbender 1/Incantatrix 5

ACF: Metamagic Specialist instead of Familiar

Rite of Draconic Passage (Identify 1/day)
1) Dragonwrought
Flaw: Vunerable) Energy Sub (Cold)
Flaw: Noncombatant) Piercing Cold
3) Draconic Resevoir (Identify 3/day)
6) Lord of the Uttercold
9) Maximise Spell

He's a very Koboldy Kobold.

For the Necrobold:

I'd recommend Archivist, so you can get all the good divine necromancy spells and get into Walker in the Waste early. Though, the first level of Dread necromancer IS good for an eventual undead. Dread Necro 1/Archivist 3/Walker in the Waste 10 still gets 9th level spells.

I like the utterbold very much BUT loredrake and White dragonsapwn on the SAME build.... thanks but I prefer to avoid getting books thrown at me.:smalltongue:

Plus it uses rules we don't use (flaws)

Never played an archivist before, so I might play one. Also does undead qualify to get the half golem template??? I need to get an armored construct and my Artificer cohort may be the best option.

Can I clarify something? Looking at the description of the Dragonwrought feat, I see nothing that says that you take no physical aging penalties. Could somebody point me in the direction of where this is coming from? I'm seeing it all over the place as one of the benefits of the Dragonwrought feat.

It's in the kobold section of the book, under Appearance, below the ageing table.
