Changing weapon loads on monsters?

[Michael E Fisher]

Is it possible to change the weapons carried by monsters? For example, can you change kobalds to carry short bows and short swords instead of slings and daggers.

This would depend on the ruleset. This is a generic space and can't give you specifics. I can say that most NPCs in the numerous system are text driven and not run like characters where weapons/armor are able to be equipped and swapped out. So it's just a matter of replacing the text on the NPC and you have an instant different loadout.

Thank you for the information, sir.

AS @superteddy57 mentions, this can depend on the ruleset. For example, the Pathfinder 2 and Starfinder 2 rulesets support adding weapons to NPCs - drag/drop the weapon link to the NPC.

For example, adding a shortbow to a Kobold (left side of the image is the "before" view):
