[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8224822, member: 6802378"] Kenders aren't kleptomaniacs, because they don't enjoy the morbid of forbidden actions, but more compulsive collectors, a softer version of Dyogenes' syndrome, and they don't understand well the concept of private proberty, almost a parody of communism. The streets in their towns are a total chaos, and that is totally intentional, to confuse invaders (some ancient temples or palaces from real life were built as true labyrinth as a defense against thiefs), but the commercial streets are easy to be found by traders from other communities. Roleyplaying kenders as the D&D version of Daniel the menace may be fun, but many players try it and the effect is the opposite, creating a bad fame about kender PCs as annoying dumbs. And I would change some detail about the origin of the gully dwarfs, as mixture of dwarfs and gnomes. I am afraid the authors was a racist against the crossbreeding. The origin of the gullys is the marriages between dwarfs and gnomes, and these survived a fatal epidemic, with some side effects. Later the survivor groups became the home of outcasts rejected by the rest of gnomes and dwarfs, almost as a no-official penal colony, as Australia in the past, something like the Dragonlance version of the valley of the lepers.
