[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 8613541, member: 7030563"] Regarding stealing and lack of value perception - I actually both played and DMed 1E Dragonlance in the 80s when they were published and DMed them again in a 1E game in the 2010s. I find the Kender Mechanics regarding stealing, inability to concentrate and lack of understanding of value to be diffcult to actually accomodate in play. In the first two games we hand waived those because it was too difficult and devicive. In the final game I made both Tasselhof and that Kender you end up with in the group that goes east (Kronn??) NPCs. Tas actually died in the Sanction in the third time I played. That was great because in the rest of the modules all the Kender the PCs ran into (including the east group that was the same players but different characters) talked about Tas' accomplishments and how he was a hero and saved the world, while minimizing the role the actual PC's characters made. This is doubly funy because as an NPC Tass' roll was actually minor compared to the characters (up till when he died). Also when it comes to[I] "I'm just playing my character"[/I] .... a Lawful-Neutral watchmember or magistrate who grabs the thief's arms and cuts off his hands after being stolen from is [I]"just playing his character"[/I] too.
