Message: <blockquote data-quote="Faolyn" data-source="post: 8312032" data-attributes="member: 6915329">The problem is that they are written very... hypocritically. If that's the word I'm looking for.Kender both fail to understand the concept of personal property, but also generally keep what they stole, instead of just redistributing what they take to whomever they feel needs it more. They should be known as givers, not takers, but they're not. This suggests that they do understand the concept of personal property; they just don't care.Kender are supposedly fearless, but they lie when confronted about their stealing. The only reason for them to lie is if they fear the consequences of their actions and don't want to get in trouble. Kender are supposedly innocent and kind, but one of their racial abilities is taunt. They can make fun of people in order to (emotionally) hurt and enrage them. In 5e terms, they'd likely have vicious mockery as a racial cantrip. This is neither innocent nor kind. And they can do this despite the fact they apparently speak too quickly to be easily understood.For some reason, humans love kender, even though they constantly steal, touch things they shouldn't (due to their curiosity) and make fun of people just to get the riled up. And they can't, or won't, learn not to. And those races who don't love them kender considered to be in the wrong. But would you love an uncontrolled and unrepentant kleptomaniac who won't stop pushing buttons and making fun of people?Whether or not these traits are hardwired into their fantasy DNA, it makes them, IMO, thoroughly unlikable.</blockquote>
