=== <u>Kobolds</u> ===

Kobolds are known for their skill with Alchemy and Magic.

It's said that inside every Draconis kobold is the dream of the dragon they wish to be. Most young kobolds reaching adulthood set out on a journey of self-fulfillment to seek to attain the standing, wealth, or fame in their chosen vocation that will prove them worthy to support a large clan and lead a long and prosperous life. Thus there is a strong streak of ambition running through many draconis, though this may manifest in many different ways according to the temperament of each individual. Just as a kobold merchant may focus on attaining prosperity and esteem in their trade, a kobold paladin with the most altruistic goals will nevertheless seek to be a shining example of their ideals.

Despite their varying physical details, both common varieties of kobold are born from eggs, and many aspects of kobold tradition revolve around them. Many kobolds keep the shards of their own egg as a sentimental keepsake and sometimes fashion them into ceremonial artworks that make up the centerpiece of a personal or clan shrine. This reverence even extends to the eggs of other species; although kobolds do not necessarily regard the eggs of non-sentient species as sacrosanct, they treat them with a respect greater than that they hold for the flesh of food animals.

* '''Hoard Sense:''' a Kobold in possession of their shard has Expertise (double proficiency) to all Wisdom/Insight checks regarding the appraisal of minerals, gems, and crafted items of value.
