A few hours later, he woke up, the worm gone and much of his tribe seemingly still around... or so he thought. He heard them, that was for sure, but he couldn't find any survivors. It quickly became clear that poor Syrrex was hearing these voices from his own mind. Somehow, some way, he had become connected to the spirits of his brethren, both recently deceased and those that had been around eons ago. Syrrex could hear and communicate with them when he concentrated, and with their aid, he discovered he had become host to divine magic, learning to wield it with the advice chattering to him from his spectral kin.
But over time, he began to hear another voice in his head... more accurately, an echoing roar. It was distant, but he could tell the speaker was mighty and large. Syrrex packed up his things and set out to discover the source of this strange roaring, confident that the aid of his ancestors (at least, the ones who knew what they were doing) would lead him to the answers he seeks. His path has led him to the perilous Shackles and Riddleport, where he has paused to rest and consult his kin about his next course of action...
Because of his penchant for speaking to himself/ancestors, Syrrex doesn't see much need for company - after all, he has generations of kobolds to speak with should he want. However, he also realizes that just as he needs his ancestors, others may need him to stay alive, and he is more than willing to step up and help others... assuming it benefits him in the process. His constant muttering and regular spurts of yelling for quiet can be off-putting, but he is remarkably good at keeping his cool under duress when things get crazy, an attribute he has honed having to sort out the gibberish from the advice when talking with his dead kin.
Edit: Forgot to add traits. Should be fixed now.
Hey, just wanted to note that I'm dropping out. While this is awesome, I think I have enough on my plate already. Also, I want to run another game, I think.
So if someone wants to do a barbarian, don't hold back on account of me. Barbarian kobolds are also awesome.

Hey! This started up! :)
So I have a few thoughts before starting.
1: our racial stats means that anything Melee and durable will be hard to come by (but it seems that's not stopping a barbarian or two), so maybe anyone think of a class with a pet or maybe a summoner?
2: if we don't get much of a front line, we could always go gunline :) aim to sneak around, trap up the place and play rocket tag with anything hoping to get close (BTW trapper alchemist is awesome).
3: as well with our racial stats, swim is a Str skill. Hope no one falls in!!
4: we all have light sensitivity, are we going to be the rare breed that sails in the night, or just suck it up :) While I think that a kobold lookout in the crowsnest would be cool, 60ft Darkvision isn't far!!!
What I am thinking for myself is to create some type of Captain Fang, a wanabe Captain with a really big hat who aspires to have a crew and ship of his own, so a bard or cavalier (mountless) who aims to inspire his allies, and let them do the dirty fighting. I am thinking of a cavalier with a focus on teamwork feats, his banner and tactics, or a bard who "commands" those around him.
Wow. That's a 9pb... Wow. Lots of 1s \^-^/
I'm going to be taking the fallback 25pb!!!
I know that kobolds are weak, but I don't want to be that weak!!!
Personally, I think that whoever our captain is, he or she should take at least a couple of alternate racial traits that make them more draconic. Because how else can you get kobolds to call you their leader?
(Plus, I'd love to see somebody take the gliding wings ability.)
Ack, finally found this thread and I already promised myself that I wouldn't apply to any more games :'(
Might make a character anyway, not sure yet
What sort of game are you running? Also sorry to see you go, GLHF.
Evil-to-neutral E6 game. Thieving, murdering, intruiging and power-struggling. [shamelessplug]The recruitment thread is currently open for busines [/shamelessplug].
I'm looking at creating a Kobold Inspired Blade (Swashbuckler) that will stand toe-to-toe with his enemies. I am considering the alternate trait gliding wings as I would rather like to see him drop out of the skies suddenly and challenge his foes to a duel.

Well I can definitely take dragon related things, in fact I was thinking of taking the dragon Herald archetype and I could definitely take the dragon scales Trait!
I am also thinking of taking the Shoulder to Shoulder Trait, but I am wondering if anyone else would want to as well?
If no one else does I will probably take the wyrmcrowned Trait.
Also, I have to choose a dragon patron and his lair. Can you help me with some ideas for a Red dragon and could Captain Fang claim to know of its secret lair on an island somewhere in the great blue, with him hoping to one day return to it?
I've already committed to Shoulder To Shoulder on my Unchained Rogue, so you're good.
I kinda designed my character (Aramant) as a potential captain... So crossing my fingers here! I wouldn't mind if anyone else wants to and is more specialized, though. :)
I could feasibly prestige into the Dragon Disciple class thanks to the Scaled Disciple feat, since I've got Oracle, if we really want a dragon-esque kobold.
I could also find a way to make that fit into his ancestor mystery as well. Just say he's got a dragon in his lineage and he just channels it through himself. That would definitely work with his Spirit of the Warrior revelation - hulking out as a mighty dragon and wrecking house (or... ship) on everything in range.
Yes. scaled disciple is allowed.
If you want you can link stories with others. You all just get press ganged at the same time. But most would be from different tribes.
Words of Power is a nice system. But the complexity is a little to much. So no Word of power.
The d2 and d4 could be After or before Racial.
Legal sources for Character Building is all official Paizo. But not alt/variant systems (Hero points, Word of power, ...).

Not terrible I shall come up with something wonderful for sure. Spooniness is really hitting home with me at the moment. (Bard and/or Skald) I would love love to be in this.
Hmm...GM does the d2 and d4 have to be put into different stats or can they be used to bump one stat up to still less then an 18 after racials?
Okay haven't worked a backstory yet but thoughts?
Planning to dip into rogue around lvls 3-4

I have not made an alias yet as I like to reserve that for PC's I know I'll definitely get to play, but here is my concept for Draazk the Unblooded, Black Scale Kobold Cleric of Nethys:
Draazk (Link)
2 Notes, I have left the Kobold teamwork feat blank, as I feel it would be better to pick one if/when I am chosen to promote team cohesion.
You didn't require a campaign trait, so I didn't take one, but if you'd prefer me to pick one up, I can make a few quick adjustments that should not alter Draazk's back story very much.
His was an odd egg, black and white, a stark contrast to the rest of the eggs around it. The Dankblade Crew breathed a collective sigh of relief when Draazk hatched and was purely a black Kobold, but those among them who understood magic and the gods felt that the egg had been an omen, and shortly after he was born, Draazk was taught the powerful and often unpredictable nature of Nethys. Although not naturally gifted with magic, his devotions were quickly rewarded, and his divine magic was amplified by spells known only to devoted clerics of the All-Seeing Eye.
Draazk grew up in much the same way as the rest of the hatchlings. He helped lure ships into the traps set by his clan on their home of Raptor Island, and he would bring offerings to the dragon Machazmroh, hoping to win his favor as it scoured the rest of the Shackles for worthy servants. He has, odd, though. He never seemed as excited as the rest of the crew for the capture of a new batch of slaves, and was never seen killing or beating anything. He was always focused on his divine skills and perfecting the magic bestowed on him by Nethys.
When his horns grew in especially prominent, he enjoyed a status boost among his kind, though strange, he was now even more a dragon than the rest, and Draazk quickly learned to use his new fame to his favor, using his silver tongue to convince his clan to leave him out of the raids, so that he may study the arcane. Occasionally, though, he would ask to be brought along on the ships of the crew or their allies, so he might see more of the world and witness the duality of magic so often preached by his deity.
Draazk came of an age where the clans expectations of him changed. No longer a hatchling, he was expected to help provide for the tribes well-being. When he refused, he was exiled. Having never killed an enemy in service of the clan, he would not be allowed back until he had done something significant and could prove his worth. Even his honeyed tongue did not get him out of this situation. So it was that Draazk, the black kobold, worshipper of Nethys and student of magic, wound up in Port Peril one night, and knowing no other way to earn the friendship of non-kobolds he purchased a few drinks and tried to find a way that he could be useful to his tribe, unfortunately, after the first drink, it all goes black as his scales...

I am also thinking of taking the Shoulder to Shoulder Trait, but I am wondering if anyone else would want to as well?
If no one else does I will probably take the wyrmcrowned Trait.
Dont forget that we all get the teamwork feats at lvl 2,4,6 etc. Since im building a wizard i was hoping to take a spell slinging teamwork feat with one of our (druids/clerics/etc).
Also anyone want to be blue scaled/tribe?

I though it was odd levels, and I suggest stealth synergy. With a group of kobolds we'll be unseeable.
I'll post my character later today.

Too true, very sorry i misunderstood.
I am working on Bucky of the Golden Blade at this point in time, but wanted to throw my 2 cents in on the free teamwork feats. For 1st level, I might suggest the feat lookout. Being able to act in the surprise round is a great boon and extra actions during the surprise round don't hurt either.
Perhaps the whole teamwork feat should be discussed after people are chosen. There's lots of good options, and each will have it's supporters.
BTW, thanks for including teamwork feats as bonus feats. Otherwise nobody chooses them except the classes that get them as bonus feats and get to grant them or use them alone.
I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to build my character. I'd love for it to go combat druid using Dirty Trick manoeuvres, but that's quite feat intensive. Biggest issue though is that unless I want to rely on strength, which obviously is tricky on a kobold, I need another feat as well. Basically I'd be lvl 17 by the time I got it all in place (including Natural Spell) which is a tad late.
I'm looking at a follower of Besmara, as the Kraken Caller archetype dictates. He however sees Besmarra as a godly Brine Dragon that went rogue when she got bored with her existence. In her example he cast off his tribal life and became a pirate, even working to dye his scales in the blue color of the Brine Dragon. The way he sees the holy symbol of Besmara it also features a draconic skull instead of a human skull.
Interesting approach, Cuàn! I loved the idea of having the jolly roger with a draconic skull, we definitely should use this as our flag in the future! Lol
Say hello to Mopsank, a sneaky black-scaled rogue! Originally from a swamp to the west of Bloodcove, Mopsank's tribe were captured to be sold as "exotic pets". Unfortunately for the crew of the ship who took him, they were unprepared for some of the nastier diseases that lived in the swamps. Several of the crewmen came down with nasty infectious diseases and succumbed to "limb rot". The pirates, mostly human as they were, were terribly squeamish about that sort of thing.
Thinking quickly, Mopsank volunteered to take care of the infected limbs for the humans, and made himself nearly invaluable. And all he had to do was hack off a few bits of human; it was basically a dream job! His friends and family were still sold off to collectors, but he was okay, and that's all that matters, right?
That was three years and two ships ago, and frankly, the little kobold has never been happier.

SnaggleTooth from the Blue Lightening Tribe. Good ole Snags has been made fun of most of his life, first for being different and having magical aptitude at a young age, and then when he grew his adult like teeth one front tooth grew in far larger then the others. As if to add insult to injury he was named Snaggletooth at the Blue Lightening tribes naming ritual, rather then go through most of his tribe life as an apprentice wizard to LightScale his wizard mentor, Snaggletooth set out to become a pirate because no other kobolds he knew were pirates.
Snaggletooth is a rather clumsy member of the Blue Lightening tribe a rather fierce tribe of kobolds that live near the intersection of a river and the ocean. BLT(<-Tribe) have an affinity for water dragons and sailing their canoes/ rafts out to unsuspecting merchants and plundering the small ships under the cover prepared for them by their tribal wizard Light Scale. Snaggletooth probably would have been killed off for being too weak and clumsy when he was young if not for his magical aptitude.
The crunch is basically done and i will post it once i can get to the computer that has it.
Here's Sassarra.
Sassarra comes from seafaring stock, a blackscaled tribe that keeps to the seas. When she was born, their ship was caught between an oncoming storm and the Eye of Abendego. They managed to steer the ship free of both storms shortly afeterwards, but her mother was torn away by the winds as soon as she stepped on deck. She knows that her mother's being taken was the price for her gifts, gifts from the eternal storm. She is linked to it somehow, dreaming of the constant wind and waves.
She knew she had a destiny and came forth to meet others and try to find it.

Hmm, welp I can't help but try this one out. Alternate Traits: Day Raider, Jester, Pre-hensile Tail. (If the rest of the Kobolds do not take Day Raider then I will of course remove it.) I love the idea of a Dragon Skald and it works well with the flavor of the campaign. Profession Sailor and Craft Carpentry is the Background Skills chosen, and the 1d4 was applied to Cha bring it to 15, then the 1d2 was applied to Cha bringing it to 17.

It's not a teamwork feat so it probably be best for at least one party member to have it so the entire party is not blinded in daylight. So it'd probably be best to keep it anyway.
Also just throwing this out there for roleplay opportunity, in Kobolds of Golarion it says that Kobolds don't have traditional nuclear families, they're mostly raised by the tribe as a whole, so it could be cool to add some flavor on why some tribes have chosen to emulate the rest of the races.
.. add 1 to the 13 and 1 to a 15.
This is Tharasiphs alias for the game.. stats are for a different character atm.

To say that Sarag was an oddity was perhaps an understatement. He was far from the typical kobold but still surprisingly useful. His oddities made it hard for him to get along with the rest of the tribe. His eyes were not useful for the dark, but strangely he wasn't blind during the day. His scales were a purplish color, uncommon to say the least. Normally that alone would get him ran out of the tribe. But his daysight made him useful, as was his skills at build things besides traps.
But he grew tired of his life in isolation, so one faithful afternoon under the bright hot sun when all the rest were sleeping. he abandoned his detail as a lookout and set off on an adventure on a raft he had been secretly making. During the night, the river forked while he was asleep and he woke up to the raft being caught up in a whirlpool, he did his best to get himself out of the situation but lost everything but what was on his back. He managed to follow the river out to the ocean before putting it ashore. What he saw amazed him. He'd never seen a settlement so large or a place so bustling with people of all kinds.
He watched the settlement with curiosity, scared that if he entered he would be slaughtered and worried because he was not with his tribe. It wasn't till he saw what looked like a lizardman and another kobold or two scurrying about that he felt somewhat safe. He skittered in after the kobold that he saw and made his way into the port till he made his was into the tavern only to be seen right off the bat. He yelped a bit and begged for his life in the common tongue which caused the whole tavern to laugh at him. This...this was a moment that he could use. He sheepishly put a hand behind his head and tried to play it off as a stunt. He was met with more laughter and some of the tavern asking for him to entertain. He wasn't sure what to do so he did the only thing he could think of and began to sing in Draconic an old song about a dragon that terrorized the seas.
Here's Sassarra.

Ooh, a kineticist, I love them.
Dancing Dervish and buckler ok or not please?
Backstory: Mak'e Ral is a kobold after his one true love... gold. He loves the way it shines, the way it feels, the way it even tastes when he is biting it to test if it's real or not, he has that itch and has to scratch it, preferably with gold backscratcher if he can get his hands on one. As such he had to leave his traditional tribe, since the gold always went to their dragon ruler, and well...kobolds that tried to take some of the precious for themselves tended to get eaten...or melted...or worse.
When not getting into scraps with people bigger then him just for some gold in a prize, Mak'e makes all sorts of fine crafts out of wood, from sturdy chairs to a peg leg or two. Because outside of having gold, earning his own gold is even better. Since he knows his way around a saw, he has taken on some side training as a ship's surgeon, hacking off limbs and making new wooden replacements that he'd brag were better then the fleshy one the poor fella had before.
Then one night he was tossing a gold coin in the air and catching it, when he heard a lady scream, seeing an opportunity to be a big hero, that'd get him attention...and more chances for gold he rushed around the corner into the alley and then...'thunk'
No need to answer question I can't do that anyway...
Ooh, a kineticist, I love them.
They are a fun class - I think being storm inspired is very appropriate for this campaign. Air and eventually water really work for a naval game.
"Kill 'em all!" G'nasher whispered in draconic. The black masked kobolds in his team nodded silently. The time for retribution had finally arrived.
G'nasher placed his dagger between black stained teeth and silently motioned the signal to advance to his team. Slowly the rogues crept up the ship's rigging. Before crossing the ship's threshold, G'nasher touched the small skull hanging around his neck G'ra, guide my sword. Grant me your strength and fury. By dawn, their hated rivals would rest at the bottom of the sea.
On that moon lit night, death would arrive from the shadows for the drunken pirates. The arrogant humans, whom themselves preyed on the weak and unwary, would learn a new respect for the red scaled killers whom plied the alley ways of Ilizmagorti.
When it was over, G'nasher nodded to his team and wiped the blood from his blades. He took no satisfaction from killing - it was a necessary part of the business they were in. In the Shackles, only the strong survived.
G'nasher turned to his lieutenant and growled, "Disembark the ship. We sail for Port Peril!"
Tonight, they would celebrate at the Formidably Maid ...
Damn this party is going to be fun. :)
Agreed it looks like a blast, i still imagine the dopey kobolds but i think im slowly losing that image, i mean look at G'nasher thats one rough and tumble kobold.
I've never seen kobolds as inherently dimwitted or stupid. Weird, absolutely, but never dumb. I've always pictured them as zealous and selfish, which is scary - if they want anything, they go at it with unnerving determination. And heaven help you if you try to take something they think belongs to them.
Maybe it's just me, but I've liked kobolds over creatures like goblins. Chiefly because they can think and plan out an encounter, and they regularly have very little to lose (and they know this), which makes them all the more nasty. Or admirable, if you like.
Agreed it looks like a blast, i still imagine the dopey kobolds but i think im slowly losing that image, i mean look at G'nasher thats one rough and tumble kobold.I've never seen kobolds as inherently dimwitted or stupid. Weird, absolutely, but never dumb. I've always pictured them as zealous and selfish, which is scary - if they want anything, they go at it with unnerving determination.

The way I look at it is that it's a very harsh world and kobolds start with a lot of disadvantages. They have to be clever and nasty simply to claw out the existence they've had. when you play kobolds as smart and working together they can swing way above their weight class.
I once ran a tribe of kobolds where they had their sorcerers making potions all day. Each of them had 3-5 enhancements- they uses scouting tunnels and spy holes to warn people so they could drink their potions. It almost turned into a TPK.
