gotten to know the kender will tell you the truth of this
remarkable race: kender take things not for their
monetary value, but because they are interesting. Given a
choice between a valuable but dull -looking platinum
candelabra and a worthless but surprisingly-shiny rock,
the kender will take the rock every time. Kender are the
children of Krynn perpetually innocent in all that they do.

curiosity that can not be denied. This leads them to
explore every nook and cranny, check behind every door,

If you win the contest, the target must use its next
action to attack only you. If you are out of range, it must
charge at you or, failing that, dash toward you. The target
attacks you with disadvantage during this action.
If the target wins the contest, it is immune to your
Taunt for the next 24 hours.
Kender Pockets. Kender constantly pick things up and
pocket them, and then often forget about them. If you
find yourself in need of a piece of nonmagial equipment,
there is a 25 percent chance you have it. Roll a d4. If you
roll a 4, you find the item in your pocket, pack, or pouch.

this way takes 1 minute.

and Kenderspeak.

Subraces. Two main subraces of kender populate

Krynn: Afflicted and true. Choose one of these subraces.
Kender Handlers

Kender really dislike being called thieves, for in their

minds, thieves are despicable people that take things that

rightfully belong to others because of their own selfish
desires. Kender, on the other hand, handle things to
help out the people they take things from. It s a huge
difference.
That said, these kender handlers are in fact,
mechanically-speaking, thieves.

Afflicted

Your people have suffered much, and are grimmer and

more serious than other kender. The kender from
Kenderhome and the marakai of Taladas are afflicted
kender.
