As for kender, yes they are only there to steal the spotlight and annoy everyone in the game including the DM, who has to keep coming up with new ideas on the fly because the kender just talked the evil necromancer into giving up taking over the world to open a dance school (yes it happened), but that is the thing that makes them great. However, any character who wants to play a kender has to instantly come up with 10 different excuses for having (random object) in their pocket, and submit an Uncle Trapspringer story. If they don't know who Uncle Trapspringer is, or the story doesn't make me spew Mtn Dew out my nose from laughing then they can't be a kender.

I have banned drow from all my games bacause inevitably the player wants to be Drizzt. You are not Drizzt!!! Deal with it! Everyone who sees you on the surface is going to say "look, a drow, lets go kill it because it a)must be a spy sent to gather information for a coming attack, b)is a member of an evil sadistic race with no real redeeming qualities, c)its funny-lookin', or d) all of the above.
