Notes

• Kobold Gunners are kobolds from advanced who have learned (or stolen) the secrets of gunpowder from gnomes, goblinoids, or other groups that are capable of producing gunpowder, redpowder, or smokepowder. These kobolds have cobbled together crude carbines and pistols that they use to defend the tribe or on raids.
• Kobold Gunners sometimes pack an extra charge of powder, giving them extra striking power with an attack, but due to haphazard design of the weapon also causes the guns to occasionally explode.
• In Wildspace, tired of the abuse they suffered at the hands of the Scro and larger humanoids, kobold tribes that once served on Gamaro Base stole the secrets of smokepowder, creating the first Kobold Gunners. A brief rebellion within the massive artificial structure led to a temporary setback to the scro's Morag-Bal Fleet and forming the 'Broken Horn Rebellion' named after the kobold's green dragon mascot, Broken Horn (Merosserth, The Broken Horn)
