Construct Trap ◆◆◆ (manipulate) The kobold scout creates a rudimentary trap on any square adjacent to it. This must be on a surface, such as a floor, wall, or ceiling. The trap activates the next time a creature moves adjacent to it.

The creature takes 1d6 piercing damage and 1 persistent bleed damage with a DC 16 basic Reflex save. The trap is destroyed when activated or after 1 hour, whichever comes first.

The scout typically carries enough raw materials to make one trap.

Scamper ◆ Requirements The kobold scout is adjacent to at least one enemy.

Effect The kobold scout Strides up to its Speed plus 5 feet and gains a +2 circumstance bonus to AC against reactions triggered by this movement. It must end this movement in a space that's not adjacent to any enemy.

Sneak Attack The kobold scout deals an extra 1d6 precision damage to Off-Guard creatures.
