[QUOTE="Green1, post: 6695081, member: 6800543"] I still think I should geek out and totally write a pdf scenario about a hell feydark demiplane with an army of level 20 Drizzt clones. But, I may need the big bad guy to be a cult of level 20 Kender who stole the genetics to clone the Drizzt's as the "power behind the demiplane" that must be defeated to get out. Of course, none of the Kender know where the gate key out is because it is constantly "borrowed" back and forth between the kender cult and no one gets mad because "..just awwww, how cute..." But more seriously, I agree whole heartedly and have personally seen Kender players destroy a campaign TWICE. While I am sure there are serious players who could pull it off, the only players who would be attracted to the concept are folks who want to be disruptive and have constant attention because the racial template encourages it. I also do not think any kind of retconning or 5e playtest abilities they came up with can overcome this stigma since the behavior is SO ingrained in players and DMs alike. There IS a reason why even with toned down flaws, the idea of a canon 5e Kender was quickly swept under a rug even though there are folks attracted to it. The devs ended up learning WHY and probably had to have a stiff drink at WotC HQ after being educated. [/QUOTE]
