== Epic Tier ==

= Racial Backgrounds =

=== Clan Leader ===

A lot of kobolds look up to you, because you're a clan leader. You're a big shot, the one in charge. Do you really believe that to be true, or do you have your doubts? Maybe you inherited your position. Do you have a chip on your shoulder? Do you feel in over your head? Maybe that's why you're off adventuring. Or are you adventuring with your clan?

'''Associated Skills:''' Diplomacy, Insight, Intimidate

=== Former Minion ===

You used to work for a dragon or some other imposing authority figure. Was your job important? Were you a close confidant to your master? Or did you scrub the privies? Maybe that's why you left. Did you learn a lot while you were a minion? Perhaps you became skilled in the arcane arts, or maybe you just learned how to foist off your responsibilities onto others. Could it be that your greatest accomplishment was being able to sleep on duty and never get caught?

'''Associated Skills:''' Arcana, Bluff, Stealth<br>
'''Associated Languages:''' Goblin

=== Miner ===

You're a professional digger who has carved out vast tunnels in the rock, with a little help. Why do you dig? Do you search for precious ores? Do you seek out other underground excavations so your clan can raid them? Do you not ask stupid questions and just keep your head down? Perhaps you dream of bigger things. Maybe that's why you're adventuring. Maybe you just got lost and hooked up with the first group you found. Are you actually any good at digging? All that swinging pickaxes probably gave you some good upper body strength.

'''Associated Skills:''' Dungeoneering, Endurance, Nature
