[51] D&D Next Playtest: Races, Sep. 19, 2013 --

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.
