DRAGONKIN CHAMPION TACTICS
Dragonkin champions fight poorly when caught
away from their draconic masters. When in their
preferred circumstances, dragon kin champions fight
more shrewdly than most brutes, waiting until their
masters have pressed the enemy before engaging in
melee. They use shy-ty to avoid becoming trapped,
knowing that the longer they survive, the more harm
they'll be able to inflict on their master's enemies.

WYRMGUARD KOSOLD
BRAVE AND TRUSTWORTHY (by kobold standards),
wyrmguard kobolds guard their dragon masters
zealously. Wyrmguards single out one creature or
object—usually a dragon. one of the dragon's lieu-
tenants. or one of its prized possessions—to protect,
forcing enemies to take care of them before harming
those they guard.
Wyrmguard kobolds wear armor decorated with
runes of warding. Their gear is a combination of mun-
dane items and magic tools—all wyrmguards practice
some amount of magic.
