Homebrew Oria Kobold Species Details

Kobolds are often powerhouses of the economies they set themselves up in. They are amazing specialists, and often work together in efficient groups. Members of their band are often tight knit and have known each other for years. These groups work interdependently to perfect their chosen craft. Feuds often form between one kobaldic band and another if they have the same specialization. Kobolds sometimes have more nonspecific goals, and in these cases they each work to become a cog in a larger machine, where nobody else steps on each others toes; though very rarely does this manifest itself in so far as to make an entire town or city.

Kobolds are treated as workers and fodder by most dragonborn and lizardfolk societies, with their much smaller and more compact buildings being used as a nuisance obstacle to invaders by placing them on the outer rings and outskirts of cities. Kobolds are usually seen doing work the other reptilian races don't really want to do, as often they really don't mind menial work.

Oria Kobold Traits

Kobolds hold a number of traits that set them aside from the other races

Ability Score Increase

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

Darkvision

Kobolds are on average partially nocturnal, and as such have developed excellent sight in the darkness. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Reckless Devotion

If an enemy within 5 feet deals damage to an ally, you can use your reaction to make a melee attack against that enemy. If you damage them, deal an
additional 1D6 damage of the same type. Until the start of that enemies next turn, you have a minus to your AC equal to that roll.

Pack Tactics

Kobolds are used to working in teams, and therefore excel at fighting with their allies. You have advantage on an attack roll against a creature if at least one of your allies is within 5 feet of the creature and the ally isn't incapacitated.

More Than Meets the Eye

Kobolds are often looked down upon, but they are easily able to adapt to tasks they are set upon. If allowed time, they are able to specialize quite well. Gain one Skill/Tool Proficiency feat, you do not gain the Ability Score Increase it provides.

Languages

Kobolds are proficient in both the Common and Kobaldic (Draconic script) languages.
