Oh no, It's a another Kobold thread!

But seriously:

I just got a Kobold card from a friend and I've decided to play at least one, possibly 2 kobolds.

The first kobold is my Greyhawk Ruins character. I'm currently torn between Rogue, bard or sorcerer/Dracolexi and Cleric/Singer of Concordance.

Rogue is great, especially for trapfinding. Although a weakness against undead and other non-crittables could be a problem.

Dracolexi is good on either Sorcerer or Bard, but I have my doubts about losing a caster level. (Especially on a sorcerer.) A bard would have Inspirational boost/bard song to toss in

And Cleric/SofC is a damn good cleric build, but I'm not sure about playing a buffer/healer.

The second kobold would be a replacement for my Rogue2/Wizard3. (You know, the character I've mentioned who has died 4 times. Even another player who is a sucker for the "tough build" bags on him.) I'd like to play a rogue-ish caster, but I'm currently unsure of the build that I should play (or the combat style).

I'm leaning toward either Beguiler or an Unseen Seer build for this second kobold. I would probably take Wizard for an Unseen Seer build rather than sorcerer, because the caster level hit means less and wizards have Int Synergy. Also, I think scout is a little better for an unseen seer, because the damage is easier to get and Improved Skirmish can crank the damage up..

I know I've posted kobold builds before, but I'd like to hear everyone else's advice and opinions on the merits and weaknesses of the different possibilities. (Especially ways to lessen the caster level hit from an unseen seer build and ways to make rogues effective against undead WITHOUT multiclasse or with multiclassing.)

Thanks in advance,
Hariman

PS: I don't ask much, do I?

If you have posted builds before, perhaps you would recall that there is a character thread for such builds...

Maybe I'd like some fresh opinions rather than rereading older thread?

People could have new ideas or a new perspective on old builds. Or they could post their opinions on the options I've put forth as possibilities.

EDIT: Putting it in the right forum could help. Do you think I should repost this?
