Kenders.
Okay so they are halfing sized elf looking creatures with no fear no concept of personal property and some cool toys…
On there face they sound great. I HATE HATE HATE with a passion the idea that any intelligent enough to be a PC race could ever not be able to be taught any basic thing. In this case it is the above mentioned concept of personal property.
To make matters worse because the writers said so, they are supposed to be forgiven for this short coming…in fact whole pages have been written about how almost everyone loves them and no one stays mad at them…
I see this as FAR worse then the vistani as grouping an entire race under "They can steal because they are too dumb to be able to know it is stealing" mixed with a complete misunderstanding of the real life affliction Kleptomania.
In the Dragon Lance thread about the lawsuit we have hashed and re hashed the love/hate for kenders… I wonder though, is there a middle ground that we could find?
If you dislike and would not want to play with a kender as is, what is the most minor tweek you think that could allow it?
If you like and have played with a kender what is the most change you could imagine to one that would still feel like a kender?
I actually like the idea of a hafling subrace with fearless and the little cool toys like the hoopic…I just don't want the "have to steal all the time" baggage…
