Kobolds

Post by Katze » Sat Sep 20, 2014 9:17 pm

I am going to work on a general reference on kobolds, is there anything i should know before doing this, or any material that you think should be added? Also, I will be adding material from 3.5 D&D and my own philosophical study of them, but, i am not against any other sources of information.

Focus on history, culture, interspecies relations, and religion. Psychology and philosophy are good topics to touch on, but it's best to stick to canon and avoid personal interpretation, especially in General Reference, so as not to discourage alternate interpretations.

Forgotten Realms Wiki and whatever D&D Monster Manuals you can get your hands on should be good sources of information. Consider whether this is an article worth writing, given the already abundant array of information between Arelith's Wiki and FRWiki. It might be a better idea to expand on Arelith's Wiki article with more detailed information about the species in general and Arelith's particular brand of Kobolds, especially where it might assist new players in assimilating with UD culture.
