"We were knee-deep in Kobolds after stumbling across their lair. It was nothing we hadn't seen before, though. Hordes of little, scaly beasts who make up for size with tenacity and cunning. We were giving as good as we got and had them on the run. Then came the lightning, a long, many-fingered streak of blue that crackled and popped so loud I couldn't hear anything for days after. Two of our party were down, smoke trailing up from their bodies, but it got some Kobolds, too. I remember the smell and then seeing that scaly bastard in his tattered robes, little skulls dangling from his belt. I thought we were about to burn as fire formed on his fingertips, but suddenly a hard, magical rain came as it hurled curses to the sky. We didn't take time to think about it - we ran as fast as we could and didn't stop til we were back in town." The Kobold Caster is a relic of the old dragon casters from a forgotten time. While much of their knowledge was lost over the ages, a select few still possess innate talents and study the arcane arts as best they can. The result is as deadly and dangerous to their kin as to their enemies, for they have little control over the forces they unleash. Kobold Caster spells are mostly elemental: fire, water, wind, earth, electricity and sometimes effects that defy definition (and are likely unexpected accidents). In spite of their poor grasp of magic, they are revered in Kobold tribes when they arise. Kobold Casters are not so much made as born, you see. And their connection to the dragon casters of old earns them a special place among their kind. Instinct: to break and kill with magic.
