Would you allow Kender outside of Dragonlance?

[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 6590601, member: 1210"] Which is absolutely no defense against a violent, possessive murderhobo who gets full of rage when your fingers are in his pockets. Kenders are, bar none, the WORST race every made for D&D. They are designed to undermine party unity, to break the social contract that many, if not most, groups adhere to ("don't steal from the party") and pretty much strictly to be annoying as hell. They are even worse than DL's stupid tinker gnomes and gully dwarves! Obviously, YMMV- feel free to include them in your game if you want- but IMHO a player wanting to be a kender is a serious warning sign that that player may not work out at a (typical) table. (Or at mine.) Granted, this is just a matter of playstyle preference, but kenders set off huge warning bells for most anyone that wants to take their game seriously or that wants a group that works together instead of having the wander-off-with-your-stuff guy in it. I know, the argument is that "bad player, not bad race!", except the race is explicitly written to encourage bad pc behavior. (Well, bad for the group.) [/QUOTE]
