@ Chuck: Thanks for elaborating. It wasn't exactly a misunderstanding, I just wanted to clarify it out now, to prevent any hard feelings later (e.g. if you insisted that the breastplate is yours, because no one spoke up when you said you'd take it and someone else wanting to use it differently later on, leaving either you or the other person grudging).
@ Trixxa & Zim:
Unless other PCs object, I would let them do it. Oh, and since there is no need for the caretaker of the offspring to be female (no breast feeding, because egg layers and not mammals), why not let Zim become the nursery kobold?
But I would like them (and anyone else who wants to breed) to ask for allowance before they do it again, at least until we got the 'food problem' dealt with.
@ GM: what are the chances that the offspring will become a gifted kobold? And will there be a difference in % if one or two of the parents are gifted kobolds, too?
(Because if we get a (better) chance to get more gifted ones, I will - with the GM's gracious permission - SO switch KnickKnack to female. Some people already seemed to think he is, anyways.
)
EDIT:
KnickKnack's actions:
Free: Permit Zim and Trixxa to become bonded and breed, but under the condition that Zim becomes the 'nursery kobold', meaning he is responsible for the little ones (the ones of him and Trixxa and any future kids the colony will have) and therefore should learn some skills to aid with that new task. Namely, order him to train healing (non magical). If possible, he'll also gladly take a look at the stuff Ludo brought back. [knowledge: nature & minerals]
Active: take Pskal (and any volunteers) with me to the meadow. [lead]
Passive: go forage (mainly for food, but I wouldn't say no to other useful stuff, e.g. wood) [forage]
Training: Armor (Con)

KnickKnack welcomes Ludo back from his scouting trip and attentively listens to what the fellow gifted kobold has to say. He'll also gladly take a look at the stuff Ludo brought back. [knowledge: nature & minerals]
He also listens to Zim and Trixxa's request and nods in agreement. "I think you have done a good thing in preparing all this stuff, even though you did it in secret. I hope you didn't neglect any other duties you had for that. As for your request, I wouldn't dream of standing in your way, but since this colony is very small and we don't have anyone who can take care of the young, sick and/or wounded, I hereby decree that you, Zim should educate yourself in the ways of medicine making kobolds feel better and taking proper care of anyone who can't do so themselves. You will also be responsible for the offspring, watching over them, protect them from harm, keep them out of trouble and teach them to become proper and upstanding kobolds, much like you and Trixxa. Also, since our food situation is everything else than rosy, I have to ask you to check back with the leaders of this colony again for each new clutch for the time being."
When this is all sorted out, KnickKnack will ask Pskal to come with him into the meadows to forage, always watchful for danger. (Preferably edible stuff, but he wouldn't leave other useful resource - e.g. wood behind.)
He also thinks that once armor is readily available, he should be able to use it, too, so he practices how to wear armor.
I have missed out the point where I gained my 15th skill (it was the healing spell in turn 11). I would like to put another stat point into Con.
I would also like to change my combat presets in so far, as the first thing thrown will be my new good rat bone/ash wood javelin, not a spear.
I would like to know if KnickKnack could craft the spider chitin into armor (e.g. armor braces, shin guards, chitin plate armor on a leather or cloth 'shirt' or 'trousers', helmet etc.), because I guess that would take [craft: bone]. Can I have some recipes for that, please?
Like e.g.
Craft braces [spider chitin]
Skill Craft-bone
Material ? [spider chitin]
Tools needed ???
Yield ? pair(s)

Craft shin guards [spider chitin]

A skill-check is made by rolling [Skill]d[Stat]. [Example: Kobold with Mine 3 and Wis 5 rolls 3d5 on a Mine-check.]
Using a skill without skill is 1d[stat] -2 (no skill). Minimum possible roll is 0. [Example:Kobold with cut trees 0 and Wis 4 rolls 1d4 -2 on a Cut trees-check]
Info on breeding:
1d6 turns until they lay 1d6-2 eggs.
3d4 turns until they hatch.
10 turns until they can work.
If it's a new couple, they will be bonded and after their eggs hatch they have 25% chance to get another clutch ready to lay.
(so after you allow so 14-28 turns later you get up to 4 new worker. 10 turns they need to be fed and can only do stuff like add +1 to cooking or mining)
The eggs need breeding boxes or nests (wool,fur,hay). The little guys need food and perhaps someone to make sure they don't go to the wrong directions.
You do not need a skill to raise kids, but a few skills that might help (Heal, Spell Heal, Spell Revive, Perception, Sense Motive, Persuade)
