[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 8846228, member: 87792"] Kender. No other race is even close (even if Gully Dwarves are Hall of Shame members) And no it's not a problem with the players [I]when the rulebook tells the players to play like jerks.[/I] Which it does in almost all editions. And no, "Tasslehoff was a good character therefore the published (pre-5e) kender are good doesn't follow first because a one note joke wears thin, and second because the Kender published in the rules aren't a society Tas could have come from so much as they are a Flanderised version of Tas made even more annoying. In our introduction to Tas we see him pickpocket Flint, then end up not retrieving a dagger with the line "Besides. The dagger was Flint's." Which means Tas [I]does[/I] understand private property (unlike the Flanderised write-ups). He's just a troll who enjoys winding his friends up and knows how far he can push them and they know him to be useful and entertaining even if annoying. The sort of person you trust with a sword at your back or to go in alone and scout a dragon's lair even if you can't trust them within quarter of a mile of a custard pie. Meanwhile the Kender in the books are told to go for it - and that they literally don't understand private property. They're instructed to not know when to back off and to carry the joke far too far. And many of the players aren't good at jokes anyway. [/QUOTE]
