Re: Dog-Faced Kobolds
I am also wondering the same thing, they don't seem like they fill the little trap laying schemer role they usually fill. Is there a new definition of Kobolds for Basic Fantasy where there are no reptilian features? Since Kobolds pre-date DnD is a large change to them needed?Demetrius wrote: ↑Sun Jan 15, 2023 6:48 am I absolutely love the dog-faced kobolds! These pictures are so good!
However, I'd like to note that we already have cynocephalus-like people in Field Guide 1, caneins (FG1, p. 16). If kobolds can be like any dog breed, how are they distinguished from caneins?
(Although I guess we could retcon it so that caneins are related to kobolds, or maybe even a type of kobolds? Maybe caneins are kobold paladins?
Or maybe caneins know they're totally different from kobolds, but other people confuse them all the time?)
Regardless, I do like all of these creature designs and am working on my own rascally Kobold to contribute I wonder if there is way to rectify both the classic nature of the Kobolds and dog-men look alike ideas.
Best of journey's, fellow adventurer.

Kobolds are smaller, tribal and have the heads of ANY breed whereas all Canid's look like boxers, are much larger, and more advanced society wise.FantasyCargoPantz wrote: ↑Fri Jan 20, 2023 6:03 pmI am also wondering the same thing, they don't seem like they fill the little trap laying schemer role they usually fill.

There are no lizard features in 4e Kobolds as that is WOTC intellectual property, yes Kobolds predate RPG's however they were mythologically faeries, the German equivalent to the Scottish Brownie, what you call the "classic" nature of Kobolds is strictly from 3e D&D (the first time they were described as lizardlike, though 2e did add Scaly to the 1e description of "Dog headed"
No matter where you go...there you are

This guy does not have Leather armour... and I think knobbly hands would be most fun, but here you go. Sketchy idea.

Re: Dog-Faced Kobolds
Not all Kobolds are warriors (though at least in my game they are all worriers!) so no leather armour isn't a big deal! I love it, think the pose and outfit is intriguing! looks to me like a stealthy sneaky Kobold inspecting the loot stolen from some big stupid flatface that's invaded it's lair!FantasyCargoPantz wrote: ↑Fri Jan 20, 2023 7:33 pm Gots it, thank you!
