"Vermin" is the word most other races use to describe the scheming Kobolds, and not just because of their rat-like faces. Conniving and opportunistic, Kobolds can be surprisingly intelligent, but possess the wisdom of an anthill; many of them are convinced magic simply does not exist. Kobolds can only remort into Goblins, and should only be selected by players who are REALLY looking for a challenge.

Comments

Kobolds are coded for much slower regeneration of hp/mana/moves when sleeping. They are also coded for much lower gains in spite of relatively normal statistics for dex and int. On top of that, they are subject to a spell cost penalty (at least 10%). Like the helpfile suggests, only choose them if you want a challenging race.
