In my setting, hobbits are peasant serfs of a "tall people" ruling caste, so it makes sense with the folk myths of the kobolds as workers, making the household chores when treated good, and sometimes mischief makers.Jack Tremainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12906068267967864239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-19613983857587510002020-10-20T17:16:37.449-04:002020-10-20T17:16:37.449-04:00I am not fond of the draconic kobolds either.

Unfortunately these days I’m running for fifth edition enthusiasts, and though I slip in a lot of old school mentality I’ve been sticking to current depictions for standard humanoids.
