DO IT!

Ask the kobold for kobold launcher upgrade.

Do it.

Quick and easy boarding action

Serious suggestion: carnivorous slime is a more suitable ammunition for ship-mounted anti-personnel weapons.

Considering that kobolds are _reptiles_ and shouldn't have breasts in the first place, I doubt that you can tell how many female kobolds were demonstrated here.

@@stretopovermind9680 It was obvious and he did draw them with such. So yeah

With an avatar like that I'd think you'd be happy with just cute Kobolds period, reguardless of gender.

@JC Denton To be fair we have never encountered any species like the Kobolds in reality, maybe they are a weird alien hybrid of mammal and reptile? I mean I've seen weirder creatures on earth, you ever seen Trump, I mean I'm just saying...

Also, I'd hit that. With legal consent of course.

Seconded!

So did i my dude, it was siiick :)

I play a kobold artificer named Toast the Tinker. They are so freaking fun

I don't remember gnomes having a way to launch themselves, not including gnome punting but that was invented by orcs and minotaurs as a sport similar to golf driving.

@@beastwarsFTW Gnomes are known as incredible tinkerers and mechanical builders, but they're also known to purposefully put flaws in their designs so that it isn't perfect. If you want, Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes for 5e talks about this.

Replace "wheat" with "tumbleweed" and you can have a deceptively terrifying bioweapon.

@@webbowser8834 Dear God

@@webbowser8834 thank you for the next bioweapon of my evil Lizardfolk artificer.

@@webbowser8834 especially since tumbleweeds are actually a fire safety problem down south.

@@attackonponyproductions4927 Oh they're a fire safety hazard in more than just the south. They're a hazard across pretty much the entirety of the great plains and then some. CGP Grey actually has an excellent video on just how widespread the tumbleweed menace is in North America.

All fun and games until they recruit them into making player launchers

Reminds me of one of my NPC’s in my current campaign, a ratfolk, “Mister Atchyoo”, who is the local gunsmith, and “mad scientist”, that runs a gunshop called “Rat-tat-tat-Atchyoo Shop.” He used to stutter a lot, and the name stuck, and now a days he pretends that the fact his shop’s name sounds like a rapid fire gun shooting, with a ricochet was intentional

To my knowledge, they're actually the only playable race in 5e that had a minus in any stats. They get -2 strength, in exchange for pack tactics which is... Admittedly, a really good ability, but still. They deserve more love than that

@@archsteel7 them and orcs, orcs getting a -1 intelligence. It annoys me to know end. The argument I constantly get is "it's a monster race, it doesn't need to be good." So stupid.

@@calebkopp7636 the orcs in eberron offer a mew version, which is essentially the same Just minus the intelligence penalty and they get an extra skill

@@tbonevideos23 that is awesome.

Enter the wonderful land of homebrew statblocks! I've DM'd for a couple kobold PCs before and I've offered an optional replacements for their kit They get an additional +1 to any mental stat (still keep the -2 str and +2 dex) Darkvision increased to 120ft (still keep sunlight sensitivity, just makes them more in-line with Drow) Grovel Cower Beg replaced with the goblin's Fury of the Small.

please do

Or ice trolls!

@@kathrynrovito6855 Ya!

Not gonna lie that joke is kob-old

Not a garden gnome, an actual living gnome you captured in the last battle with them

Tamara Stroyan exactly, I used the spoils of the battle to have this contraption built for me to remind them never to cross me. And as I bonus I have a new game to play, their pointy hats help them to stick in the ground target perfectly

Makes me wanna incorporate some sort of junk jet inspired contraption for my artificer

It reminds me of a webcomic- one alien race had every crime be punishable by catapult, the severity of the crime determined how far you were thrown- in the setting's history one corporations egregious missuse of something like copyright law had the aliens borrow a more advanced species' railgun, to launch the offenders at their sun. so that is what I envison, the kobols are so pround of the kanun that they use it for everything- crimes are punished via kanun launch without the parachute, teh sevarity determines whether it is aimed at a lake, or the side of a cliff, or invaders

This comment screams kobold in many ways

sniper and altylllery... keep practicing

They’re fricking adorable.

Kobold Tank- its a wagon with scrap metal nailed onto it, and the bottom removed so kobolds can push it flintstones style, with how small kobolds are you can fit a lot of them, or other stuff in there, like a big crossbow or argonel as a turret equivalent. The iron serpent- basically an armored version of the dragon's from parades for chinese new year- the head has a flamethrower like device, using either oil or alchemist's fire, and the outside is covereed in actual armor, or imitation scales depending on how stupid you want this idea to be, the inside should be made of flamable materials so if the fire breath malefunctions all the kobolds flee the inferno. the Great Kobold of Kursk- a giant obviously fake kobold, set on waggons and puppeted on the inside via pulleys and a lot of kobold muscle, it is actuall dangerous if its similarly sized weapon or arms actually hit something, but that is unlikely, its main purpose is morale, the kobolds take way more risks with it as their backup making it actually dangerous if you get bogged down so the pilot in the head can organize the crew to line up a hit.- basically a combination of the great mouse of minsk from american tail, and the gargants orks have in warhammer The floating mountain- basically a medieval tech ironclad, its a shoddily built boat coated with cement and rock bits, and maybe some plants, so it can be disguised as a small island, you can either have it really small like a kobold attempt at stealth, or go big- have it the kobold equivalent to sheild's helicarier, big as an actual island, big enough to have farms and stuff inside, a self sufficient community, that uses it as a base for raids since it looks nothing like a ship from the outside- but have it also be a constant battle to keep it afloat, so raids are largely for mateirals for repairs- but also so if players actually board it for some reason, they risk going down with the ship themselves if they do too much damage fighting- but doing damage could redirect the hordes of kobolds on board towards repairs and away from the pc's- It could be a great encounter where kobold ingenuity, and idiocy combine to threaten the heroes at every turn, especially if they need to recover something or someone safely from the ship

Another idea, the Great Drill *(needs better name) think the giant drill from Avatar the last Airbender, but in a world that doesn't have the steam engine, its huge, powered via muscle and or magic, it is also very slow, use it to drill through walls, only to have the challenge be for heroes to figure out how to stop it without hurting themselves on the mass of irregular and rusty metal- its too big to stop, but too slow to realy be a threat, so they have to assault what is basically a small moving fort- or have it go underground and the real risk is the collapsing of land and structures as it passes as it is still super slow- like the town guard aren't worried about the kobolds invading so much as the walls and houses of the town collapsing into a sinkhole or something, for that scenario for extra fun, have it be a sneaky mission for the kobolds, like tunneling into a bank to rob or something, but it is so loud and slow every human in town knows, their target loot was moved but the aformentioned danger to buildings gets the pc's called in- they then have to risk cave ins and rock falls while trying to stop the kobolds

@@timothycarney9652 These are all great ideas. Since I posted my original comment, I already started developing the game mechanics for a Kobold tank, drill, and mech suit strikingly similar to the ones you described, (I guess great minds thing alike) but adding a fake dragon and an armored riverboat to the mix sounds like a lot of fun.

@@Nikolapoleon The boat idea was for my own take on a kobold empire as a concept- in 3.5e at least kobolds are an interesting mix of tribal and comunisitic- tribs split equipably when they grow too big for an area to support and go and found a new mine/colony like ants, I had the idea "what if a kobold leader manged to keep the groups under his control after the split" following that the idea was basically massive infrastructure to support the already huge kobold population and keep seperated groups in contact so he coulld keep control- the end game was a kobold empire- which is something I havent heard of in any D&D setting, which is weird considering even orcs and gnolls have examples. the boat idea was basically a floating mountain, a way for that empire to expand to teh seas, my original concept was less silly, basically a floating fortress powered by a steam engine (heat metal as a permanent enchantment to make it work) to sail and start exploiting sea resources for the Dragon Blood empire

@@timothycarney9652 I considered adding steam power to my setting, but eventually decided to reject it on the grounds that it would have too big an impact on the world. Nevertheless, I've decided that I like the idea of having the kobolds experiment with the science of compressed air. Specifically, I think certain items such as their drill could be powered by bellows that pump air either into a metal tank, or directly into the pistons that drive the machine.

I like the idea of magical sniper vs tinker artillery duel, the sniper has to manuver to a spot they can actually hit the engineer from, and if they fail any stealth check the kobolds start their bombardment, probably not very clos to hiting the sniper but as the bombardment continues your sniper has to deal with more and more environmental hazards, and wandering kobolds spotters.

Obviously the way to stop that kind of cheesing is to put the Kanun behind a hill or something that blocks direct line of sight.

I had one called the orc a' polt. The orcs would use shields as sleds to "block the ground" when they landed.

It actually is still run by the Kobolds, they just appreciate that the orcs are so willing to be literal cannon fodder
