Homebrew Fifteen Kobolds in a Trench Coat Mk. 1.1 Species Details

Following a great tragedy that befalls a Kobold den, remaining kobolds may choose to form an alliance and pretend to be a large race such as a Goliath by stacking themselves inside of a large trench coat.

Driven Survivors

Every day brings new and different challenges for the group. One wrong move or word could mean as much as a whole town trying to kill them. As such, the group places an emphasis on persuasion, distraction, and diversion.

Group Names

Not every Kobold in the group has their own individual name. They are often referred to in groups by their position in the trench coat, for example Right Arm, Left Leg, or Torso. The only Kobold with a name is the head. The head’s name is likely based on what the name of a Goliath could be, but is made up nonsense the head must remember at all times.

Fifteen Kobolds in a Trench Coat Mk. 1.1 Traits

The Kobolds, while still being Kobolds, do their best to mimic the traits of Goliaths.

Ability Score Increase

Your Charisma score increases by 2, and your Intelligence score increases by 1.

Age

The lifespan of the pack depends on several things, so there isn’t a clear cut answer.

Size

The Kobolds aim to be like Goliaths, which are between 7 and 8 feet tall and weigh between 280 and 340 pounds. Your size is Medium.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

For the Pack

You can sacrifice one of the kobolds by throwing it out of the coat to occasionally shrug off injury. When you take damage, you can use your reaction to roll a d12. Add your Constitution modifier to the number rolled and reduce the damage by that total. After you use this trait, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Combined Less Than Might

You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.

Huddled Together

Due to being fifteen bodies in a trench coat, you have resistance to cold damage. You’re tolerant to high altitude, including elevations above 20,000 feet.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common and Kobold.
