I'm Blisterthumb Bottomknot! And I'm here to spread the love of Kender!
Do you love Kender!? If not, why?
All I'm saying is give Kender a chance!
What happened to my kender good looks?

Species 7037 you will be assimilated
Your biological, technological and magical distinctiveness shall be added to our own
We will strip away your weak , flawed persona and bring you closer to perfection
Resistance is futile
You look familiar. Did Reorx branch out or are you some Gnome's Life Project?

Bottomknot is a very proud family name! It represents the family's tradition of wearing the topknot of one's progenitor on one's belt, facing backwards to let those that have come before know that we respect them... I have no idea what might be clinging to my bottom, but it sounds gross. I am, however, very intrigued by the prospect of a gnomish personal grooming device. They make the best shiny things!
As to you, Mr Shark God Avatar, there is a very good reason that I don't go near the coast. Well, that and I'm allergic to salt water.
Now where did I put that left handed automaton wrench?

Ah, kender...the emotionally unstable, kleptomaniac halflings brought to you by the same campaign world that gave us mentally retarded hobo dwarves, technomaniacal gnomes with diarrhea of the mouth, a god with Alzheimer's, and the draconians: villains who are more dangerous and annoying once you kill them. Oh, and iron pieces.

I knew it was in one of these pouches......it's this one with all the blades that move every which way......
It's supposed to cut right through any knots on your bottom.I think he said it was originally supposed to get rid of nose hair, but something went terribly wrong when he had his supervisor test it.
I think he said that's why he had to leave the mountain......something about his supervisors widow and a meat cleaver.

As a setting for a novel, no; as a campaign setting for D&D, hell yes. *eyes the dagger, picks up a mace*
I'll have you know that's the only setting I care to play D&D in *jutt's out bottom lip, and signals companion in the bushes to poke Shadow dragon in the butt with his DRAGONLANCE*.......;)

Well, some people like to play in Krynn, some like to eat fermented duck eggs. To each their own, I suppose.

Hello Blisterthumb!
Good to meet a kender. Fun traveling companions. I have some stuff my last companion, Kenny Der Strings left behind. Maybe you want them? Let's see... a whistle, some bright blue scales, black feathers, a green glowing rock, a great tasting black pudding, an owl bears claw. Wow, he must have holes in his pouches cause I have way too much stuff!

*from the other side of the road* "two on one thats not cricket"
*walks up to shadow dragon* "with your permission, of course" and casts stone skin on shadowborn.
I also happen to agree with shadowborn. As a novel series it was brilliant but as a setting I refuse to play in a world where mages are treated so unfairly. Wear this color robe or DIE! WTF! As a aside my dragonlance knowledge is based from 1st and 2nd ed so if they have changed it I was unaware.

*looks around* Sweet crispy walnuts! Let's all be reasonable here, my fine friends. I'm an ambassador of friendship and peace, and it seems that things have become rather tense. I must agree that everyone is entitled their opinion, even if I don't like it.
*eyes Talek & Luna and sidles over* You have shinies? *smiles broadly* Well, I'll be happy to track down your erstwhile companion and return them. A person's shiny things are sacrosanct and should always be returned post haste!
As for the Wizards of High Sorcery, well, that's one of those things that I as a player actually enjoyed. It represents a person's commitment to the magical arts in a way that no other expression of the Wizard class really has. I will also side that the novels were superlative, and I will also go so far as to say that I probably only enjoyed the game because I enjoyed the novels. I will not, however, speak on my opinion of the novels after the ORIGINAL trilogy. Everything after that quickly went downhill, in my estimation. As for emasculating a Kender's player, well, that's probably going to be ineffective against a girl such as myself. *grins* I'd also like to think that I'm not being THAT annoying. 3rd edition introduces the "Afflicted Kender" which is ... well ... the anti-Kender Kender. They don't have the curiosity, the wanderlust or the 'handling' stuff. So perhaps they'd be more to your liking.

Why thank you, Mister Horned Guy. I was a precocious little Kender and I was always trying to grab my porridge when it was too hot. Eventually, my Mother just gave me the name!
*peers at the golems* They just wanna be loved! Although if they'd stop dropping pieces of themselves and then stop working. My uncle Tas tells me that when golem people drop bits of themselves I should return them. But I can never figure out where they go.
*wrinkles his nose* Oh well, we welcome our new robot overlords!

HA HA HA HA HA!
Wait, you were serious? They're going to be our overlords?I don't like that idea. They smell funny, like that weird clay I always see the poodles next door working with. I found a cool sculpture there yesterday, you know.

Well, they're smaller than the Dragon Overlords and they're less likely to eat us. And if welcome them, they're less likely to try and eat us.
Though I must confess, being eaten by something sounds really cool! I wonder how that would feel...
*looks around for one of the automatons* Here droney droney droney, here droney!

Hey, you probably shouldn't ris....ris...ris...attempt it. What if the inside is smelly or something?
...Whoops, sorry. Must have rolled a natural 20 on my Wisdom check. Heeeeere, droney droney droney!

All interesting places are smelly, didn't your Uncle tell you that?
If they weren't smelly, people would all go there and they'd stop being interesting.

My Uncle Trapspringer told me about that, but I thought he meant they weren't interesting.

Blisterthumb Bottomknot |

Ah, great-Uncle Trapspringer had the worst allergies. He inhaled some Gnomish powdery stuff and he was never the same after that, absolutely hated smelly places.
My Uncle Tas met the Gully Dwarves and they smelled AWFUL, but they were really interesting. So, I guess it really depends on what you're allergic to. *shrugs*
Now where DID those droney things go? They seemed so eager a little bit ago.
...
That seems to happen to me a lot.

They were muttering about 'major assimilation difficulties similar to those of the poodles', or something.
...They must be planning a welcome party!

How about we change our names to 'goblins'? Or some other extremely annoying race that yaps (not literally)incessantly.
Perhaps a varient Halfling with a name like Wanderkin, noone knows where they come from but they sure don't act like other Halflings

I'm pretty sure that my Aunt Fluffina Whistleflop is a Kender Gish. Or maybe she's a Gish Kender. I always get those backwards.
She's got this really big sword and she wears this longcoat that looks very silly because she's always walking on the bottom hem.
As for Open Content, well, I'm openly content. Is that the same thing?

"Well, what have we here? Not halflings... no.... OH, wait you guys must be kender! How delighted I am to make your aquaintance. I am J'Hakil Darkwalker... also known as Jumping Jack the Springheel."
*Reaches into one of the pockets of his longcoat and pulls out some fey sweetbreads to share.*
Yep! I am, in fact, a Kender and my name's Blisterthumb Bottomknot, of the Solace Bottomknot family. That's a very nice looking coat there, I used to have one just like it. Mine was red, though. It didn't have enough pockets so I gave it to my nephew Tasslehoff.
Oooh, sweetbreads. Those are my favorite! Are these genuine Silvanesti sweetbreads? I thought Silvanost fell to the Dark Knights? Or was that Qualinost? I always get those mixed up.
I went to Dargonesti once, but I'm allergic to seawater so I didn't stay long.
*pockets the offered sweetbreads*
Thank you! *reaches into pockets*
Oooh! I have this sapphire that I found a few minutes ago. I can't figure out who it belongs to, so did you want it? It's the least I can do to repay the sweetbreads!

Blisterthumb Bottomknot |

You think that's bad? I have three words for you: Kender Wild Mage.
My cousin Fidget Bundlebottom tried that after the Graygem broke and the world went crazy. But he got bored of turning rabbits into hamsters pretty quickly. I haven't seen him in a while, I wonder where he's gotten off to.

Wizards wear there robes in the same manner that Clerics display their colors or holy symbols.
Many Wizards travel in neutral dress, there is no "wear this color robe or DIE".The Wizards are proud of their order in the same way a Cleric is proud of his order.

*Reaches into one of the pockets of his longcoat and pulls out some fey sweetbreads to share.*
Hey, great! *Pockets*
So are you a Springheel? I don't know what made me think of that, it's just something about you, I have this sort of intuition for that sort of thing. Hey, look, sweetbreads! *Pulls out and eats one*

Ooh, I know, this is a baleful polymorph spell! No... wait... those usually turn people into rabbits or voles. At least, that's what Uncle Tas tells me. I never get turned into a rabbit, even when I ask nicely and tug on the robes of that Black Wizard that used to come by looking for volunteers.
...
I was turned into a human once, and while that was ok, it was a lot more boring than I would have expected. Then the spell ran out and I was me again. Not that I wasn't ever NOT me. But that's another story.

Funny story about that Baleful Polymorph, it isn't one. Rather, it's a Boonful Polymorph, which turned him into a form resembling Erik Mona. I meant to cast a Baleful Polymorph, then realized that it wouldn't make a difference so I altered the spell out of reflex.

*Chuckles at the kender, as he pulls more sweetbreads out for them.*
"And what my diminutive friends, did you think a Springheel was? We are no race of small folk, we are urban fey who disguise ourselves as humans or elves on occasion. Do enjoy those sweetbreads I got them from a Dryad friend of mine who had the misfortune of being planted in a city park. Friendly lass, and very.... uhm... happy to treat with another fey."
