Special Abilities
Kobold Slinger
Kobolds revere dragons and tend to dwell in and around places where dragons are known to lair. They skulk in the darkness, hiding from stronger foes and swarming to overwhelm weaker ones. Kobolds are cowardly and usually flee once bloodied unless a strong leader is present. Kobolds like to set traps and ambushes. If they can't get their enemies to walk into a trap, they try to sneak up as close as they can and then attack in a sudden rush.
- Kobold slingers are responsible for laying down the bulk of the damage in ambushes. As such, they will hang back and use the slings for as long as possible while other, more melee-capable allies occupy their foes.

CombatTactics = Kobold slingers are not as good at melee as other monsters, but they are quite good at ranged attacks. If there are multiple slingers in an attack, they will try to clump together so that their bonus from Mob Attack is maximized. They will fire into melee with impunity, their Precise Shot feat negating penalties for doing so. They will use Shifty to maintain range for as long as possible, and if forced into melee combat will flee.
OutOfCombat = Kobolds have a cultish zeal for any dragon that lives in the area, often erecting temples and assisting in the construction and defense of the dragon's lair. Even the lowliest dragon is vastly more powerful than any kobold, even on its worst day, but that doesn't change the fact that dragons see kobolds as useful.
- It is unclear what benefit kobolds gain from their worship of dragons, though some stories suggest kobolds have access to divine spells and powers, like a cleric, and these powers are granted by their dragon.
- Kobolds follow a peculiar system of honor, which follows such an elaborate pattern that it is all but unintelligible to outsiders, even those who can speak Draconic fluently.
