Kender outliving Warforged is gonna sting

Kender outlived humans, for crying out loud. AND DROW.
I'm surprised that FR fans haven't ignited from righteous indignation.

FR fans? What board do you think we're on?!

When there is a long list its easy to overlook something. Especially something truly awful like Kender.

To be completely candid, I missed that kender were on there. New target sighted!

The kender are surviving because everyone knows we can and will all join together to smite them off the face of the earth when we the time comes to, they’re a dead species walking and everyone knows it so everyone is getting their own jabs in first against the other ones they don’t like while it’s still in chaos

I tried, I really did. But I couldn't find a fair and balanced way to do that.

What categories would you have used?

I was looking at it, and while I would like to have divided it into themed categories (Wild, Stone, Civilized, Savage, Planar, kinda in an homage to the 3.5 books) I'm not sure if everyone would be ok with so many of a single race in each category. Otherwise, I'd do 10 categories, one for each type of Tiefling (the most numerous category specie).

Also, the fun new-fangled (read: twenty years old or less) stuff must be brought to heel first.

(I'm gonna go with dwarves and hobbits. I'll reassess after they get eliminated by the anti-LotR crowd.)

I like Dwarves and Halflings!

The Kender are still untouched?

I guess they aren't as universally reviled as some folks would have us believe.

I honestly didn't notice them there o.o

Based on the above comments, it would seem they're surviving on a mix of "oh, everyone will take care of that, I have to do the stuff others won't" and "I literally just didn't see them there, time to fix that!"

Ironically, commenting on them being overlooked may in fact be the single biggest reason they don't survive much longer.
