Naturally, a significant portion of Kobolds of Golarion focuses on traps. The book reintroduces ranger traps, which first appeared in Ultimate Magic , and presents several new ranger traps for characters to learn. Unfortunately, the Learn Ranger Trap feat reprinted here from Ultimate Magic only allows characters to learn a single trap, which has always been a bit of a problem with the system.
There are lots of ranger traps to choose from, but characters can only ever learn one. Kobolds of Golarion introduces a new feat, Improved Learn Ranger Trap, which allows characters to learn another trap and allows non-rangers to create supernatural traps , but that still only brings the total known to two although the snare setter rogue archetype in this book and the trapper ranger archetype from Ultimate Magic can expand that number a bit.
Then, if they try to disable the decoy, they can end up setting off the actual trap! The chapter also contains lures items like fake coins that, from a distance, look valuable and goad people into entering a trapped area , trapped items like a trapped scroll case that is filled with toxic poison , and new alchemical items.
As well as trap-related abilities and equipment, Kobolds of Golarion also contains quite a few new feats, spell, and magic items. In addition to the snare setter archetype mentioned above, there are also two other archetypes: the dragon herald for bards and the swarm-fighter for fighters. Amongst the feats is a new chain of style feats for Kobold Style.
There is one odd, but rather amusing error in the book. Those who dedicate their lives to these goals sacrifice personal safety and peace in the name of good. When I first read these lines, I did a bit of a double-take and had to read them again. But no, the archetypes have nothing to do with promoting good. Nevertheless, there was something familiar about these lines, and a possible explanation crossed my mind.
It only took a little bit of searching as it seemed fairly obvious where these lines might actually have come from. In both books, these lines appear in the same spot at the top of page It would seem that Paizo uses a standard template for these books and someone forgot to edit out the previous lines and insert whatever was supposed to be there. Oh well. One small, amusing error aside, Kobolds of Golarion is a wonderful book. Not only does it provide players with a wealth of options to make interesting and diverse kobold characters, but it also provides both players and GMs with a vivid look into the psyche of this popular monster race.
Many of the character options in this book can work for other types of characters who want to use traps or fight in the same style as kobolds. Others relate directly to the unique parts of kobold life, such as the significance of the way their scales mimic the hues of the chromatic dragons.
