Damn. Someone already said Pun-Pun.

6. Level 3s with epic feats.
7. Reveal that they are actually Shapechanging paragon prismatic great wyrms.
8. Make one of them a wizard who uses Magic Missile to auto-hit an atom, thus splitting it and nuking everyone.
9. Get a kobold Wu Jen casting Giant Size to be Colossal and then splattering everyone.
10. Getting a kobold hulking hurler to throw said Wu Jen at the survivors.
11. Suicide bombers with 500 Explosive Runes on them.
12. Have them pretend to be good guys and stand next to the PCs. Use their attacks of opportunity whenever the PCs take a move action.
13. Fire them from a catapult.
14. Make them into zombies that explode when they die (yay Libris Mortis!).
15. Give them 4 levels in adept against level 1 PCs and say that it was only a CR 1 creature when they want to know why they died from Scorching Ray.

18. 100 Kobolds with crossbows
19. 3 Epic Paragon Kobolds

Both those scenarios have come up in a game, and both would have been TPK if we'd actually fought them.

20. Kobolds with gliders and rocks. Death from above!
StormKnight

As the PCs are crossing a bridge, high above a deep chasm, a horde of enraged kobolds charges them - collapsing the bridge with the PCs under the weight.

22. Have one of them sing the Doom song!

Doom doom dooom, doomy doom dooooooom, doom doom doomity doom doom, doom dododoom doom doom dododoom doom!
KedynCrow

23: Kobold Bard with max ranks in Use Magic Device. And two wands of fireballs.

24: As above, but the encounter takes place on a rickety rope bridge high above a yawning crevasse.

25: Fifty Kobolds engaged in a grapple with each PC. Odds are that the zerg rush will kill them.

26: Put the party in a room with a well. At the bottom of the well is a longsword of shock. This electricity will split the water into its component parts...anyone? Anyone? That's right. Oxygen and Hydrogen. Send in a Kobold with a torch.

Can anyone say Hindenburg?

More forthcoming.

34. Make the kobold a henchman of a BBEG wizard. BBEG wizard changes the kobold into an attractive female. Make kobold have relations with party members, then reveal that it is a kobold. Party suicides.

My friend once explained the most lethal use he ever found for kobolds unbfortunetly I can't post it here as it would be against board rules.

I will say this however, it involves 10 kobolds, an elephant and mister Rogers...

savagecain

09-21-07, 11:21 PM
46. make the kobolds level one sorcerers and then give them wands of acid arrow 5 charges each.

cheap (relativly) and you get to use low range attacks to hit touch AC as apposed to reg ac. besides who dosent want to ambush a player group with 5 kobolds attacking from cover and coating the hero's with acid
Generic_NPC

09-22-07, 12:27 AM
47. Build a fortress out of petrified kobolds with contingency spells to return to normal when the party gets to the most central point- kobolds that really know how to bring the house down. A little bit more stylish than just pouring them out from some chute in the ceiling.
savagecain

09-23-07, 04:51 PM
48. build an interlocking series of tunnels in a town that is kobold sized. sprinkle with traps and then run a gorilla war from the tunnels against the party. think of a really mean labyrinth

Azekial_Archangel

09-23-07, 05:47 PM
51) Have the BBEG enslave some Kobolds, cover them in "make-the-save-or-die" poison, and send them out to hug the PC's and hope the Kobolds don't scratch or use the bathroom before they get there.
TotallyGenericName

09-23-07, 08:23 PM
52) Kobold master trapmaker

53) Give them a bag of holding and a portable hole.

54) Kobold armies. Even if their AC is insanely high, one of the Kobolds will roll a twenty.

59. Ninja Kobolds.

60. The famous trap of the kobold ninja training camp. A pit trap with spring loaded poison tipped spikes at the bottom which launch up when ever some on tries to steal the Necklace of strangulation off the skeleton pinned to the pit's floor. Nobody ever expects a booby trapped booby trap.
sooperspook

09-26-07, 01:32 AM

DestraOtsego

09-28-07, 10:22 AM
these actually appeared in our epic-level game
62: Give a tribe of Kobalds engineering and a collassal steam engine of death and bad smells.

63: Epic level Kobald sorceror that polymorphed into a dragon and ordered the party to 'retrieve stolen loot' (from the count's personal, golem-crawling, trap rich vault, no less)
DM-Scott

09-28-07, 04:54 PM
64: Kobold fighters (yes fighters) armed with point blank shot, rapid shot, rapid reload, light crossbows and lots of poisoned darts (statistics for drow poison work well).

65: Big 60ft pit trap filled with oil, hidden by a minor illusion. One kobold readied to toss a torch into the hole after the party falls inside, another kobold redied to cast Web over the surface to make it difficult to get out. Flying would be tricky without perfect maneuverability, climbing is difficult when you're on fire and rushed, casting is difficult when you're on fire and taking damage (for spider climb), and dense smoke causes the suffocation rules to come into play.

66: Twelve kobolds (4 sorcerers, 2 clerics, 6 rogues) between the levels of 1-3 spam grease and silence spells to force a party to be flat footed and move poorly, be unable to cast spells, and lets the kobold rogues with their good speed, great dex, the balance skill, and their sneak attacks to kill everyone.

67: Kobold cleric has lots of little animated kobold zombie tanks, and kobold skeletons, and regular kobolds, shooting crossbows armed with poison bolts (again with the drow poison).

68: Kobolds with blind fight dual wielding blade-whips in a room with a permanent Heightened Darkness spell that the party walked into, only to have the adamantine door be slammed behind them and arcane locked. They're attacked repeatedly by kobold fighter/bards with blind fight, two weapon fighting, weapon focus, weapon specialization, and weapon finesse from 15ft away, while they can't find anyone in melee with them (whips attacking up to 15ft away), and when they do find them they suffer 50% miss chances against them, and the kobolds just move next turn.

The spell-casters likely will not have a line of sight to attack, and the heightened darkness spell is likely a higher level than daylight or any other spell they would use to illuminate the room, meaning it stays dark. It becomes a slow and painful execution by whipping as the kobold fighter/bards sing (+1 attack/damage) and heal themselves if needed.

69: Kobolds fighter/rogues use guerrilla tactics, flaming oils, molotov cocktails, flaming arrows, cover, and traps to take them out the old fashioned way.

70: (This one will be the joke one) Near naked kobold anti Garl Glittergold fanatics charge a party and then activate a fireball single use magic item (which explains why they are near naked, since their NPC gold went towards the 1 use magic item). "Gnome infidels!!"

Reminds me of a game i had. *Sigh*
50 kobolds vs 3 lvl 4 pcs. it was a boodbath. No kobold was left alive. The wizards familiar was stomped to death. Poor thing.
RollaD20

10-05-07, 04:39 PM
give a polymorphed kobold a vial of 'peanut allergy causing' poison and invite PC's for dinner in area of anti magic field. include peanut butter bread and insist to them to try it after they eat poisoned food. PC's throats close and they die. kobold didnt poison his own dish:D kobold loots corpses.

75: the only rank 21 deity is a kobald who is now returning and angry with the pc's for their unkind way's towards kobalds.
apathy42

10-09-07, 06:40 PM
76) Give kobolds ability to levitate. Make floor of large room (>60' long) illusory (1st level illusion should be sufficient for this purpose), 60' drop, poisoned spikes at the bottom (maybe include a couple of trap spells as well?). Fill room with "floating disk" spells. Players, in their heedless rush to slay the cowering kobolds, which are levitating at precisely the height of the floor. As a readied action, the sorcerers controlling the disks dispel their spells as the players get into the middle of the room. Players fall to their deaths.
Chardre

10-10-07, 01:05 AM
77) Lure PC's into a room with 50 smoking kobolds. Chances are that they will get lung cancer and die an early death.

78) 1st step: PC's fall into pit trap
2nd step: 1200 kobolds come in after them.

Chardre

10-20-07, 01:21 AM
1) 12 kobold sorcerors with improved initiative, casting explosive rune field.

2) One Kobold with a very high rank in disguise, infiltrates the party and uses the detonate spell to obliterate them.
