Kobold Love: The Half-Kobold Template

Originally posted here.

Designed by Yan Décarie. Feats by Yan Décarie and P.A. Ménard.

The origins of the half-kobold is unclear, the Underdark scholars believe that it was created by vile arcane rituals similar to those that created hybrid monstrosities such as the Owlbear.  Regardless of thier origina, Half-kobolds are a very effective blend of Kobold Cunning and Human resourcefulness.  While not as small and shifty as thier kobold-kin, they possess an uncanny survival instinct.

We also propose three new feats (all powers and feat names are placeholders):

Shifty [Kobolds]
Effect: You can use the shifty Kobold power (MM P 278) as an encounter power

Improved Shifty [Kobolds]
Prerequesite: Shifty
Effect: You can use shifty as an at-will power

Designer Notes: The shifty ability is too powerful to give freely to a PC. I believe that Making it into 2 feats makes it more inline with current PC available powers

Trap Sense [Kobolds]
Effect: You gain +2 bonus to all defenses against traps.
