Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ruin Explorer" data-source="post: 8613017" data-attributes="member: 18">I am not aware of an extant version of D&D where "expectations and guidelines" for Kender players are clearly presented. I think one edition had some kind of "don't be a klepto to the other players" suggestion, but I'm pretty sure a different one more or less encouraged you to be.How is it cherry-picking when none of that contradicts a single word I've said?You don't think some people think spoilt brats are cute?How do think spoilt brats get spoiled? It's because their parents think that incredibly obnoxious behaviour is "cute" and make no effort to stem it, even when it harms others. These sort of people still exist note - they're the sort of parents, who I saw a couple of years ago, when their kid rode a scooter directly into an old lady, nearly knocking her over, just said "Oh Tarquin (I can't remember the actual name it was that silly though), please come back here! Please don't ride so far away!". Because riding far away was the problem, not hurting people? They didn't even apologise to the old lady, nor did Tarquin. He'll probably grow up to be a politician, but I'm editorializing.Hell when I was growing up, my parents made me used to play with this kid who was very cute, and often funny, and yeah, cried a lot and seemed to care about stuff, but was the most horrible little brat you've ever met, who absolutely took things without permission and didn't care, absolutely was a bully, and an eavesdropper, and I dunno if he genuinely didn't get that was wrong (I sure told him), but he never acted on it, and because his parents never punished him, was absolutely fearless about this stuff.The whole point is that Kender are spoilt brats from the perspective of people who like spoilt brats.</blockquote>
