Yeah, to follow the whole Naked Lunch thing, I figure, if you're going to merge everyone into one being, you're gonna get ground really smooth, you know?
It's because they're suffering from a fantasy version of ADHD, a fantasy version of unconscious kleptomania, and a fantasy version of Urbach-Wiethe disease, all incurable in-game (except for afflicted kender). We shouldn't be making fun of the mentally ill, and I don't think saying they have a fantasy version of a mental illness excuses this.My third is mor problmatic... why can't they learn the concept of personal property? I can understand THEY don't use it in there communities, but when traveling through OTHER communities even for decaids they CANNOT learn 'people don't want you to borrow without asking'

I hope you noticed I mentioned the fantasy version of the condition. Also, I did not say complaining about kender is ableist. Rather, the way they're portrayed could be considered ableist.Whosawhatnow
That's a new one. Complaining about the logical fallacies of Kender culture is ableist now?
I want off this ride.
No. You're ignoring the consistent portrayal and descriptions of Kender in official DL fiction, and you even cut out all the cultural description in your screenshot.People who have an issue with the way Kender are played due to some bad apple they played with is because that player was already an awful player. Someone who wanted to cause grief.
Is it though?I hope you noticed I mentioned the fantasy version of the condition. Also, I did not say complaining about kender is ableist. Rather, the way they're portrayed could be considered ableist.
Kender cannot stop these things. There's nothing cultural about being "immune to fear". There's a reason afflicted kender are so different. They aren't just kender raised apart from other kender.Is it though?
I don't remember it ever being described that way. It always seemed cultural to me.
There's zero evidence that it's a "mental illness" on intended to mock RL kleptomaniacs.I don't remember it ever being described that way. It always seemed cultural to me.
Barbarians would like a word.Kender cannot stop these things. There's nothing cultural about being "immune to fear".
I don't buy it. If Kender can't stop taking things, they barely possess free will. Tasslehoff clearly can stop taking things (and exercises caution at times), but likes taking things (also weirdly as written he does actually seem to experience mild fear, and is only relatively fearless).Kender cannot stop these things.
The intense curiosity that kender feel feeds
their desire to know how locks can be opened,
how to approach people unseen and listen in
on their conversations, and how to reach into
pockets or pouches to find interesting things
Kender do not steal for the sake of profit.
First of all, they have little concept of value.
Faced with a choice between a 2,000 steel
piece diamond and a huge, glittering chunk
of purple glass, 90 kender out of 100 will take
the glass. (The rest will take both but will get
rid of the diamond first.) They pick things up
out of curiosity and wander off with them.
Sometimes the owner of an item leaves before
the kender can give the item back, or else the
kender becomes enchanted with the item and
forgets to return it.
A kender
might not necessarily remember where he
found something, even if he picked it up half
a minute before, and such responses are often
delivered as part of a subconscious defense
mechanism. Intense curiosity is a trait
ingrained in their souls and minds from their
racial creation by the Greystone of Gargath.
They cannot be other than what they are--
natural thieves.

Fortunately they dropped this stuff in 5e.no race in 2022 should have a trait like
They sure did. But because of concerns about fantasy versions of mental illness or because everybody hated that stuff about the Kender from jump for at the table reasons?Fortunately they dropped this stuff in 5e.
¿Porque no los dos?They sure did. But because of concerns about fantasy versions of mental illness or because everybody hated that stuff about the Kender from jump for at the table reasons?
Only BECAUSE the blender was not turned on long enough.I'm DEFINITELY crunchy.
This is unpopular by today's standards, but back in AD&D it was accepted that each fantasy race was actually different than humanity. Kender were biologically incapable of understanding the concept of "property" as we understand it, just like they were biologically incapable of experiencing fear. Their minds just didn't work the same way, nor did elves, dwarves, gnomes, orcs, etc, as they were alien to us.
