Goblins are overpowered then? They are 6 race points. Take your pick.
Actually Goblins are 10 pts.
+4 Dexterity, –2 Strength, –2 Charisma: Greater Paragon (2 RP)
Goblinoid: Humanoid (0 RP)
Small: Small (0 RP)
Fast: Normal Speed (0 RP)
Darkvision: Darkvision 60 Feet (2 RP):
Skilled: Sneaky Rider (6 RP)
Languages: Xenophobic (0 RP)
Kobolds are terrible. They really don't have much of anything that makes them decent for a PC race.
They are only 5 race points, but play even worse than that. Their skills bonuses are more suited for NPC use. Attribute bonuses are terrible of course.
Actually Kobolds are 8 points:
+2 Dexterity, –4 Strength, –2 Constitution: Greater Weakness (–3 RP)
Reptilian: Humanoid (0 RP)
Small: Small (0 RP):
Normal Speed: Normal Speed (0 RP)
Darkvision: Darkvision 60 Feet (2 RP)
Armor: Natural Armor (2 RP)
Crafty: Skill Bonus (2 RP) X3 + Skill Training (1 RP)
Weakness: Light Sensitivity (–1 RP)
Languages: Xenophobic (0 RP)
You could easily make them a 10 point class by giving them the Weakness Stat Array:+2 bonus to one physical ability score, a +2 bonus to one mental ability score, and a –4 penalty to any other ability score.
That would give them a +2 Dex, +2 (Cha,Int, or Wis), -4 Str

I'm still getting 5. They only have two skill bonuses. Craft (Trapmaking) and Profession (Miner). Although you are correct that the table should read Xenophobic for their language.

Total 7 RP
The addition in the Race creation section forgot the Skill Bonus (Perception), but then that makes them an advanced race...
I suppose we could slot it in under Senses Racil Traits to get around that
Also it should be Xenophobic for Language
Ah good catch. Idk why I missed that. I was actually looking at the Kobold as presented on page 133 instead of the table towards the end of the book.
Started a Kobold last night, he is a fragile rogue1/sorcerer4 and doesn't do as much damage as the straight rogue or Paladin, but he has a lot of skills and his specialization in acid spells makes him all the more fun to play, plus he has failed his wing check twice with a fly score of +8.

Ahh my bad. In that case you could give him a Standard array:
+2 Dex, -2 Str, +2 (Cha, Int, or Wis)
For example I would play an "Alpha" Kobold with +2 Dex, -2 Str, +2 Cha in a heartbeat. That would be a 10pt Race.
Human could be given the Flexible trait or something.
Yeah, goblins are crazy good.
SHHHHH, Paizo will hear you...
