Design and Development: Kobolds Part 4

So we've looked at the nature of kobolds and then we looked at their abilities and we've defined what makes a kobold a kobold in a mechanical sense. So all that leaves now is to figure out what classes a kobold adventurer can be:

• Assassin: Kobold assassins are scary, they're small, quick, can get in and out in an instant and don't hold the same moral values many of the other intelligent species do. A job is a job and they will do anything to anyone in order to get their target.
• Cleric: All kobolds worship Grebow, Lord of All Kobolds, though their worship is unique. The church has no doctrine, instead kobolds worship in whatever style of worship is predominant in the area they live. If the local churches use animal sacrifices under a full moon, so do the kobolds. If the local temple worships in several hour long chants relating to their god's deeds, so do the kobolds. However, all of the worship is given to Grebow, instead of the local religion. Grebow accepts whatever worship is given his way and will reward some kobold's with clerical powers for their dedication.
• Druid: Like the rats some claim them to be, kobolds are urban creatures and have no real understanding of the natural world. Likewise, they all pay reverence to their creator Grebow and have little time for ancestor or spirit worship. Because of that, no kobold has ever learned druidic secrets.
• Fighter: Many kobolds pick up martial abilities, either through emulation of local fighter's guilds or via training in jobs like militia, sewer guards, or other martial careers.
• Magic-Users and Illusionists: No arcane teacher would train a kobold, nor would any kobold maintain the patience and skill needed to become a trained acrane caster. And while some kobolds are born with innate magical abilities (a Wild Mage class may come of that), none will ever be fully trained casters.
• Monks, Paladins, and Rangers: There are no monastic orders in Bluestone and even if there were, much like arcane casters, few would train a kobold. Paladins on Bluestone are an exclusive human only brotherhood and, as mentioned above, kobolds do not have the respect for the natural world to learn to be a ranger.
• Thief: Like assassins, kobolds make dangerous thieves. Their size and speed give them many advantages to thieving abilities and skills and their unique sense of morals means they have little hold up about taking something belong to someone else.

That being said, how good are kobolds at being thieves? Well, their size and speed allow for the following bonuses to thieving skills:
Their small hands give them a +10% to Pick Locks and Pick Pockets. They gain +05% to Find and Remove traps. They gain a +7% to Hide in Shadows and a +5% to Move Silently, these numbers would be higher based on their small size, but their inability to stay still or quiet at times means this bonus is negated by them being so fidgety. Their small size is a determent to Climb Walls (like it is for all smaller species choices in the AEC), but their claws also help negate some of that, giving them a total penalty of -10%.

And there you have it, the final step. I'll let this sit for a bit, see if my "Co-Developers" have any thoughts on it, and if this one also passes the test, then a final write up will follow.
