These are cool, but a lot of them are kind of weak. Shake off is awesome and something any kobold would probably want, but Active Gambit is not too strong. Kobold Saboteur is very weak, considering you can take Skill Focus and get a +3 bonus on ALL thievery checks. You could argue that the two stack, but there are so many awesome feats in 4e that I doubt anyone would put that many feats into being exceptional at disarming traps. Perhaps give it some other bonus, like the ability to reroll a disable trap check 1/encounter?
Shifting Ruse is cool and adds nice tactical options. Horde Adept is very weak for a paragon tier feat. Lord of the Horde is weaker than a lot of low-level Warlord powers, so I don't see someone taking weak feats just to gain access to it.
I like a lot of these and they are very kobold-y, but I think you need to bump up the power level.
Thanks so much for the feedback. Hmm, I can definitely see your points, and I think I'll have to take a look at these and rewrite a few of them.
I'm glad you think they feel like something a kobold would do however.
Adding the 1/encounter re-roll can certainly assist the Saboteur feat, and I think Horde Adept can be dropped down to Heroic tier and remain viable.
Lord of the Horde might have to be completely redone, maybe as a warlord class feat...I am doing Kobolds and the Martial Power Source next...
And once again, thank you so much for the feedback. I've been out of commission for awhile with personal issues and am certainly relieved for the feedback.
