Joes and Janes: Three Kobolds

Originally, these were going to be 0-point characters. For those who would rather not have "super" kobolds, most of these characters can be reduced to 0 points but cutting a couple advantages. As usual for non-humans, any cost marked with a '*' means the cost is partly or completely included in the racial template cost.

(And yes, if I had GURPS Goblins, these would have been goblins ;)

Notes: This NPC is a minor messenger of a minor gang or organized crime outfit. Because of the inherent limitations of a kobold messenger, he is not given terribly important messages to relay. His Acrobatics skill represents his ability to twist and turn through crowds.
