Well, you have witnessed two other rant columns. Now feel the unbridled power of mine. This will contain things that shatter your mind. Why you may ask, are my rants so potent? That’s simple, because I’m the DM for these guys. Yes it scares me at times as well. Enter Demon Eyes Kyo’s rant. :: Warning: Character avatar subject to change at fits of fancy:: Well for once I’m going to agree with someone here. Timbo you are so right. Bunny you are a whining mofo. Yeah that’s right I used to be 2nd edition too, but at some point you have to wake up and see the better brighter future. I mean at some point you might decide that roleplaying is a bit better than rolling dice for half an hour only do die from a single kobold. Yeah I know I really want to spend two months and 8 adventures trying to kill one kobold at a time with guerrilla tactics just to get that coveted 2nd level. You fail to realize that it is like the absolute weakest sentient creature in the game for a reason! There’s this thing called a 1st level character, and although they may seem better than the average peasant, they still suck dirty balls. Now unless your DM is the kind of mofo that would send you against trolls at first level and then deus ex machina your ass with a level 10 pally, you’re going to need to start small. And unless you have a particular hatred for weasels then kobolds are the answer. They’re annoying small and evil. And all of that combined is easy justification for why you must massacre them. Plus you get the rush of actually defeating something at low level. I mean a gang of Kobolds would rape some farmers so its not like they are total worthless. And if you really have this sick kobbo fetish that you seem to have well, then you can give them (gasp) character levels, raising their CR to higher levels. A group of level 5 kobold rouges are more than a challenge for low-level characters. So there you have it not only is 3rd edition good in making enemies for low level characters, it also allows DM’s with disgusting draco-fetishes to make said pansy creatures into killing machines.
