1. However lomg it takes.
2. No Good indoctrination of the entire species. Thank you.
3. I really don't share this interpretation
-a) See above. I don't share your worries.
-b) The species would advance entirely by class level, so thus shouldn't be possible.
-c) This us genuinely odd, as I could have sworn I picked it from the Forge post.
-d) That one isn't helping. They need higher mentals first and foremost to learn faster and lead later on.
4. I'm not sure why Viserys couldn't have the idea on his own.
2) Wasn't thinking about alignment at all, just effectiveness as teachers. No biggy if we don't use them.
3) To me the
template reads like Super Alexander the Great In A Bottle (™). There are going to be too many supernaturally effective leaders among them and far too few followers, IMO. Maybe keep the mental attribute and skill bonuses and other abilities, but lose everything else, or at least the Born to Lead and Enchanting Presence abilities? Enchanting Presence is especially problematic, since it is an automatic Mind-Affecting effect which is applied to everyone who comes within 30 feet of them. The effect itself is relatively mild, thankfully, but it's still something that requires a Will save and could cause issues. The more I look at this template, the more I think it should be at least +2 CR, maybe even +3 if applied to Bards, Sorcerers, or anything else with a modified Charisma attribute of 16+.
c) Nope, we haven't encountered it anywhere, yet.
d) Half-Dragon would be a very nice substitute, too. Despite being a +2 CR template and costing a bit more, it's actually quite reasonable. Combined with the Advanced template, it would make the G1s exceptionally strong and tough, and their mental attributes would be very high. Flight is always great to have, too.
4) Viserys could come up with it, and I won't argue against him when the time comes to kick the project into motion, but it just fits Lady Saenena better IMO. Regaining lost and forbidden knowledge, including the existence and creation of Kobolds by ancient Valyrians, was her life's work prior to the Doom. It was completely forbidden and would have seen her put to death, at a minimum, if the authorities had learned what she was doing. Then after we restored her humanity and helped Resurrect her children, one of the first things she did with her new life was to complete her previous research, which allowed us to grow Kobolds once more. It makes sense that she would go one or two steps further and work out how to introduce a new species of Kobolds to the world. Viserys does amazing stuff all the time, so it's nice to see our other people pull off cool shit, too.
