Editing Kender (section)

==Why Kender are hated so much==

There's no good reason why Kender should have survived this long anyways:
* Physically diminutive in an environment rife with monsters, with nothing but agility and pickpocketing to defend themselves with.
* Repeatedly referred to as having no concept of fear or self preservation. As if that wasn't bad enough alone, combined with their stupid "curiosity" it would have them licking mushrooms, going near dangerous beasts and leaping into canyons regularly. 
* There's no trade nor commerce with outsiders; nobody would let a kender get near a marketplace or bazaar, and even if they were trading one-on-one at village borders, some other Kender would probably steal the wares while you were still discussing the prices or pick your pocket while your back was turned.
* Hell, being pathological liars about theft means any non-Kenders would treat them as little sociopaths.
* There's no construction; the minute you turn your back on any materials, it's gone to be used in someone else's building project. (and while they were stealing your building materials someone else was stealing theirs.)
* No Kender is going to have the attention span to do the boring but necessary work like stockpiling food, learning to write, or digging latrines.
** The only way they could survive a frosty winter is by raiding villages and travelers with their cute smiles and compulsive thieving behavior... leaving any villages that didn't exterminate the tail-less rats starving themselves.
:Fuck! Any villages in cold climates that DIDN'T threaten Kenders with violence to stay the fuck away would just starve during winter and die out from their unwilling charity and insufficient locks on the granary. There shouldn't be any Kender sympathizers left, they should've died out generations ago. Kenders are a plague.
* Basically any civilization composed entirely of kender will last approximately as long as a civilization composed entirely of 4-year-olds.

See, here's the thing: while the kender themselves might not know exactly what they are and what they're doing, [[that guy| the smug asshole with a shit-eating grin sitting across the table from you, leafing through your book with cheeto-stained fingers]] absolutely does.  Kender are hated because they are all-but purpose-built to enable the absolute worst sort of griefing, and let any and all such pricks throw up a thin but impenetrable forcefield of "I'm just roleplaying! Why don't you just let me roleplay my character?!"
