[QUOTE="Ichneumon, post: 6246435, member: 98772"] I very much doubt that kender will be in the PHB. How many people would actually be [I]upset[/I] if they weren't there? The same as would fit into a rapidly imploding phone box, I'd say. So reserving them for a Dragonlance product is a perfectly safe choice for WotC. In past DL products, kender have been presented as an alternative halfling. It's never been the norm to put halflings and kender into the same setting, due to their conceptual similarity. (lightfoot halflings in 5e are also presented as small creatures with wanderlust). Therefore, I'd expect DMs who want both races in their setting to include them as an [I]active choice[/I], which can be done if kender are in a DL product.
