Note: This race is notorious for poor roleplay decisions leading to frustrated parties annoyed by their Kender teammate stealing all their stuff and just
generally mucking things up by unmanaged kleptomania. As a result, there is a very real prejudice out there against Kender. Should you choose this race,
speak first with your DM for approval, and be ready to have a character concept which will not be a massive annoyance to your party or DM.
Furthermore, this is often a Krynn-specific race and your settings of your campaign may necessarily exclude it and other Krynn-specific races, even if your
DM would be inclined to permit it otherwise.
