While resistant to cold, the Czerd are relatively few and physically fairly weak, so while they are certainly better suited to deal with the cold than most other races, it is still a very harsh and dangerous place (apart from the angry dragon), and while the Volsk have had the numbers and resources to build themselves a town, the small groups of Czerd usually won't have the resources to do so. In other words, it would be possible, but highly unlikely that a Czerd family would settle somewhere on the surface.
I hope this answers your question.

If they are cold blooded, doesnt this mean in cold environments they move so slowly or not at all. But then again arent turtles cold blooded, and live in the cold cold cold sea.

Arent any half dwarves running about. I think its cause other genes are afraid.



So what will my Kobold look like?  If i arm a spear will it show a spear in his hands?

Wait, who said they were cold blooded?

I'm slated to do some graphical work on them, but my time is very limited right now with building so I can't do anything in regards to their looks.  Any weapon they are allowed to equip will show in their hands, otherwise, they look pretty much like the Kobolds we all learned to love in SoH (along with the unfortunately strictly limited armor/clothing options).  There may be expanded visual options at some later date, but I cannot give a guarantee on that right now.  :)

They can not; or they reffuse to even try?

They are physically unable to breed with other races.

We can still try then! And not worry about the results, right?  :D

Rule 34 applies to Persistent Worlds. No exceptions.

Much lambasting aside, however, it's worthwhile pondering how different Kobold physiology might end up. We know very little about the life cycle of the race as a whole [other than there being eggs scattered around Haldun], so we'll have to wait and see what additional information is revealed at the time of release.

Plotting in the shadows: back full-time for DC 5.

Sure, we could do that . . . or we could just let love take its course!

Maybe Kobolds when they grow up become T'Skrang (T'Skrang are an Earthdawn race)

Great Picture :D
Id love to see a band of kobold PCs pirating the canals and rivers of DoN.
