looking for ideas on character creation.

I thought of using dragonwrought, but it leads to a lot of cheese

It doesn't have to. You can actually choose not to take sovereign archetypes or epic feats.

Well, you might consider the Desert Kobold, rather than the standard Kobold, to avoid the Con penalty... unless, of course, you're taking a Wisdom-based class.

Jungle kobold gets Int penalty instead of Con one.
