[QUOTE="Green1, post: 6695776, member: 6800543"] You know, I have been sitting back soaking in others' opinions on this. After all, on another thread I was going WTF was the Drizzt hate about yet I would disallow Kender. I have since seen an example in thread of a responsible Kender player, so I need to rethink my policy on them or I am a hypocrite. I do agree the way they are meant to be played is disruptive. I have even seen someone go way out of control with it back over a decade ago. I think that is where my disdain comes from as is with the Drizzt clones or whatever groan lame character concept of the era comes up. Though, I still maintain the Kender is a far worse offender But, I started thinking. There are TABLE RULES as well as backgrounds and concepts and GAME RULES and RP CONVENTIONS. While I am not going to throw a 3E Epic Level Handbook vengeful gaze of god spell at someone if they say "their character will do that" like an earlier poster suggested simular, I do think the health and welfare of the game takes precedent. The players MUST work well and not be douches and have fun TOGETHER. This is the old law that transcends character concept or even the DMG of any game or edition. I reverse my decision. I doubt I will have to use this ammended clause because those are niche and based on older fantasy novels and DL doesn't get the press. But, I WILL let them play. I will even look up the 5E playtest stuff for them to do it proper. But, NOTHING can be done to screw other PCs and they can not hog spotlight like I do with any other PC. If they do otherwise, I talk to them in person and front of the group. It continues, I ask them to leave. But, I can not imagine someone wanting to play it. It seems to be a a trick concept and there are cooler things to play. But, I stand corrected. Thank you, ENworld forumites! [/QUOTE]
