[QUOTE="Dr. Bull, post: 8571308, member: 6693776"] This may have been mentioned somewhere in the [B]53 pages of posts[/B], but... 1. I am very happy for the return of Dragonlance. Back in the 80's, I read all the books and played most of the modules. 2. I think Kender are cool. However, I question the addition of the "bag of many things". In past editions, Kender never had magic abilities. Why change? In my opinion, "ever-full pockets" is a meta-game addition that stretches in-game realism. ALL Kender can summon stuff at any time? I[B]f so, why would they do anything or go anywhere? They would just sit at home and pull whatever they want out of their bags. Kender would become shopkeepers who sell equipment (and make huge profits in the process).[/B] What's wrong with them being thieves? They aren't malicious, they're just curious about everything around them. They absentmindedly pickpocket all the time. It's actually very endearing and fun, in my opinion. The Kender have a different perspective on personal property and ownership. If a "race of thieves" is such a terrible ethical issue for WOTC, then what do we do with Murder Hobos for heaven's sake? From an ethical standpoint, murder is a much worse than petty theft! Even worse, Murder Hobos murder THEN they steal. A Kender will just take the trinket you have tucked into your belt... Other races have stereotyped traits. Generally speaking, Half-Orcs are violent, Dwarves are stubborn, Dragonborn are disciplined, Drow are sadistic, Wood Elves are free spirited, Changelings are deceptive, Aasimars are righteous, Firbolgs are gentle, and Humans are ambitious. Why can't Kender be curious kleptomaniacs? 3. [B]I am REALLY hoping that WOTC includes some good maps of Krynn...[/B] Over the past 30 years, I still have not seen a map of Krynn that matches the quality of maps for Forgotten Realms or Eberron. A beautiful continent map designed by Jared Blando or Mike Schley would be amazing! [/QUOTE]
