Kus-Kus

Kobold Monster Hunter. Lives in Bavlo because it’s quiet, “but not too quiet.” Every Monday morning, well before dawn, Kus-Kus checks the caravan guild office for bounties in the underdark concerning great beasts and bandits who attack traders moving between cities. After they take the bounty home to their room in the Lion’s Share, they spend the week making traps for the next bounty.

A slayer can only maintain these bonuses against one opponent at a time; these bonuses remain in effect until either the opponent is dead or the slayer studies a new target.

After this first attack, the target is aware of the sniper’s presence.

  • Kobold Sniper: When you are sniping, you only take a –10 penalty on your Stealth checks to stay hidden.
  • [Prospective: Stealth 3 ranks] Expert Sniper: Reduce the penalty to stay hidden after sniping by 10. (Cumulative with Kobold Sniper, eliminates the penalty.)
