View source for Kobold Paragon (3.5e Racial Paragon Class)

==Kobold Paragon==

All fear the surprising attacks of the Kobold Paragons, springing up out of the ground to slay their enemies in a swift and decisive battle.

===Making a Kobold Paragon===

The Kobold Paragon is effective at stealth, fast combat, and burrowing through the ground, but keeps the Kobold propensity for flimsiness.

'''Abilities:''' Although any melee character benefits from Strength and Constitution, the Kobold Paragon tries to use Dexterity or Intelligence whenever possible instead.

'''Races:''' Kobolds are the only ones who can be Kobold Paragons.

'''Alignment:''' Any. Kobolds tend to be lawful evil.

====Class Features====

All of the following are class features of the Kobold Paragon.

'''Weapon and Armor Proficiency:''' Kobold Paragons are proficient with all simple and martial weapons, with the [[Tachi, Shovel (3.5e Equipment)|Tachi]], and with light and medium armor.

'''{{Anchor|Quick Digging}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' The Kobold Paragon can make a dig check with the Tachi in only 4 rounds.

'''{{Anchor|Ears to the Earth}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' The Kobold Paragon suffers no penalties to Listen from obstacles.

'''{{Anchor|Weapon Excellence}}:''' The character's Kobold Paragon level stacks with his Fighter level for the purpose of feat prerequisites.

'''{{Anchor|Tachi Finesse}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' At level 2, the Kobold Paragon can use his Dexterity modifier, if higher, when making attack rolls with the Tachi.

'''{{Anchor|First Thwack}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' At level 2, the Kobold Paragon can meditate for 1 minute to get a +2 bonus to the next attack roll he makes in the next hour. If the attack hits, it deals 1d8 points of extra damage. This damage is not multiplied on a critical hit, and does not affect things that are immune to critical hits.

'''{{Anchor|Instant Digging}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' At level 2, once per hour the Kobold Paragon can make a dig check with the Tachi as a swift action, and add his Intelligence bonus to the attack roll.

'''{{Anchor|Architectural Sense}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' At level 3, the Kobold Paragon can sense the properties of the ground within 30' of himself, through obstacles. This allows him to detect open spaces, walls, and other such structural properties, but it does not allow him to detect specific details or creatures, such as items or constructs.

'''{{Anchor|Blinding Dirt}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' At level 3, the Reflex save DC for the Tachi's ranged attack becomes equal to 12 + half his total hit dice, rounded up. Creatures who fail the save are blinded for 1d4 rounds.

'''{{Anchor|Tachi Block}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' At level 3, the Kobold Paragon may add half his Dexterity modifier, rounded down, as a shield bonus to his AC as long as he is wielding a Tachi.

====Ex-Kobold Paragons====

Kobold Paragons who stop being Kobolds can no longer level up in Kobold Paragon.
