But Goblins are superior to Kobolds in every way

Kobold is just the German word for 'goblin'.

Also little dragon critters are cuter, this is my subjective opinion and thus the only truth!

Is that why kobolds serve tyrannically evil dragons even tho most of said dragons will kill the kobolds for fun? is that why Kurtulmak serves Tiamat? working together because they are weak to serve something that WILL kill them for reasons like "I was hungry" (white dragon), "because it seemed fun" (Black dragon) "Because i can" (Blue dragon). All while likely seeing being eaten by a dragon as a great honor.

People already do. Its easier to just live with it.

Sorry to say. That's sad.

So? Who are they hurting? You wanting to "fight the good fight" is getting in people's way and telling them what to do. Sad.

and who am i hurting? expressing opinions on the internet is common. Why are you arguing for them? its not like im hurting you and its not like they are giving you a massage. are you white knighting?

You're not expressing opinion. As you said, you are fighting for a change not wanting to let people have what they want. And I'm not fighting for them specifically. I'm arguing in the favor of the freedom to express yourself. If they want to bang a fictional dragon people, so what?

So you are fighting for what you believe is right? let me bring you this quote and but its coming from my mouth this time

See, kobold life is already reaaaally rough as is! And somehow those little critters manage to keep an uplifting spirit and find the time to play pranks on gnomes!

Dragons were originally immortal, but they sacrificed that gift, along with a piece of their own flesh in order to create the first Kobolds.

Also, since the rules of death and the afterlife are influenced more by whatever faith the mortal adhered to in life, than a definitive version of life after death, it is worth mentioning that Kobolds believe in reincarnation.

Whenever a Kobold dies, its soul is reborn in a nearby egg. Not unlike how Elves reincarnate after their own deaths. So even if their masters get bored and vore them once in a while, it's not like the Kobold is gone forever.

"Kobolds were the first of the dragonspawn and were created by Asgorath (another name for Io) alongside urds around −24,500 DR. They lived under Kurtulmak in Darastrixhurthi, a vassal state of Darastriverthicha, a nation ruled by the green dragon Caesinsjach" Thanks google, maybe not all of Rhexxs lore is from the same edition
Forgotten realms lore, The lore from the baulders gate setting is forgotten realms

I'm not trying to change people's minds or stepping in their way though. You are.

You are stepping in MY way, You are trying to change MY mind

Define Pranks

[Neratrocity]

Or goblins! I love how they made goblins in BG3. obviously kobolds would be cool too.

[InkTide]

people like CDI Mario are pretty much exactly the reason i hate D&D's racial alignments.

making races of individuals with nothing but copy-pasted and immutable ideologies (which essentially makes them not sapient, but instead more like automata merely mimicking sentience) is not only pathetically lazy, it's a largely useless holdover from a genuinely more racist era of tabletop games.

i'm 100% in favor of adding kobolds.

[KaffeeRausch]

All companions in BG3 seem to have a dark secret as well as the companions in DOS2.

Even if you are convinced to do the right thing for yourself, believe you are right, behind this in DOS2 there was often pure egoism with an evil truth.

Playing a Kobold is * evil * and would rather be the good guy, who in the end was drawn into something because of the group members in BG3, which he didn’t want, that would be something.


Good ... or bad.
If you look at some groups of players on Twitch who appear totally * nice * with their Aasimar Paladin, there is a shock.

The Aasimar Paladin is a Fallen Aasimar Conquest Oath Paladin who is just Brutally, everyone participates.

You notice more and more that the goblins, gnolls, hobgoblins etc. are not the bad ones, they want to save their world from the Alliance, which was long untouched by elves, humans and dwarves.

The players are invaders and don't want this to be true, they keep going.

Good bad...
It depends on what players and DM / GM make of it, the rule book is an orientation but not a guideline that you have to adhere to 100%.

You can already tell from the Dragonborne fan concepts.
