The size and low Str combine to make the character barely viable for
carrying anything, she's at the limit of her light load, without being
able to cary any food or other common supplies. A human would have
been much better, as warlocks seem to need feats & skills badly,
wouldn't suffer from the weight limits so badly, and touch acs aren't
that hard to hit that you need the +2 from being small and the Dex. I
was originally going to put some points in disguise and bluff, but
figured what the hell is a kobold going to convincingly disguise itself
as that will pass in civilized non-evil lands? Besides a disguise kit
is too heavy for her to Cary, and I needed the points elsewhere.

riding dog can drag 1,500 pounds.
Combat
If trained for war, these animals can make trip attacks just as wolves
do (see the Wolf entry). A riding dog can fight while carrying a rider,
but the rider cannot also attack unless he or she succeeds on a Ride
check.

have a +4 racial bonus on Survival checks when tracking by scent.
Trip (Ex): A wolf that hits with a bite attack can attempt to trip the
opponent (+1 check modifier) as a free action without making a touch
attack or provoking an attack of opportunity. If the attempt fails, the
opponent cannot react to trip the wolf.
History
Snarfi knew only slavery from the time she was hatched. She did not
adapt well to it, having a feisty personality, always being beaten for
being upity. Her masters recognized this as being the blood of the
dragon that is in some of her race, and attempted to train her at being
a sorcerer. However before she learned much beyond the ability to
decipher the arcane writings and amplify her voice, she came across an
old tome that mentioned a forgotten and imprisoned or possibly dead
being of primal chaos. She sympathized with his plight, and wished the
both of them could be free - out loud. She then heard a voice croak
at her "As you have pledged yourself to me, you will be my champion.
Take my power and free us both!" Multi-colored flames erupted from
all over her body. Instead of casting just light, they cast both light
and darkness from her. She did used it to free herself throwing bolts
of raw magical chaos and using her limitless magic to power her voice
and break her bonds, and free all the other slaves she could get to.
She escaped in the ensuing chaos stealing as many of the magical
writing she could carry. She now seeks to find more about this being
and where it is imprisoned, and works always to free those enslaved,
imprisoned, or oppressed she comes across.
The size and low Str combine to make the character barely viable for
carrying anything, she's at the limit of her light load, without being
able to cary any food or other common supplies. A human would have
been much better, as warlocks seem to need feats & skills badly,
wouldn't suffer from the weight limits so badly, and touch acs aren't
that hard to hit that you need the +2 from being small and the Dex. I
was originally going to put some points in disguise and bluff, but
figured what the hell is a kobold going to convincingly disguise itself
as that will pass in civilized non-evil lands? Besides a disguise kit
