Tas does not steal all the times and most of the time it is not things that are valuable but things like a knife and other knick knacks of no consequences. But, sometimes, perception can be skewed from the original. That would not be the first time it happens in the history of books and events. Somewhere at some point in time, one player played a kender as a real thief with bad intentions and got away with it. Then, a few heard of it and reproduced it and with conventions and tournaments the story spread and many others tried the same hoax and so on in a manner that became the norm.  I had to show all the passages I was referring in the six original novels to prove my point to players who wanted to play Kenders as thieves... Even the rules from the hard cover stipulate that kenders should not be viewed as thieves but as borrowers as likely to take baubles as they are to leave valuables. They are even prone to let their valuables in exchange for useful baubles (or what they perceive as useful ). This recommendation was often overlooked, too often. Kenders are hated simply because a lot of DM did not read the novels or the hardbound rule book. Even the soft cover DL5 had such recommendations.  If you decide to ignore the thing that restricts something, don't be surprised if that thing (kensers i our case) gets abused and perverted from its original intent.</blockquote>
