How hardcore can you make a CR 11 Kobold Tribe using only NPC classes?

Huh?

Well maybe so.
I was unaware that 1hd Humanoid absolutely had to advance as non racial hd.

Maybe a template can get an extra 1hd, to get out of this trap?

[nijineko]

Kobolds can't advance via HD.

i believe that there is a debate going on about if dw kobolds can advance solely by hd. if the debate comes out yes, then there is a single exception to that.

A few years ago, I called Customer Service and asked if Dragonwrought Kobolds could take a racial hit dice of Dragon. They said they have to advance via class level.

[awaken DM golem]

Maybe that still fits, though.

2hd of Dragon racial ... can be continued.
1hd of Dragon racial ... gets the replacement routine.
1hd of Dragon racial + (at least) 1hd via a template = ??

[Lycanthromancer]

Check it.

Replace with the NPC adept for the divine casters, and that psionic NPC class from Dreamscarred Press, for best results. Oh, and the magewright for arcanists, too.

[Gavinfoxx]

Can you tell me more of the source for the psionic npc class?

Can you tell me more of the source for the psionic npc class?

Behold!

Plus, if you want more kobold villainy...
