#2 talinthas Aug 29, 2003 0:44:16	it works better if you don't compare kender and halflings. there will never be a situation where they will run into each other in the course of a campaign, so balancing them is a waste of time.
#3 zombiegleemax Aug 29, 2003 0:57:34	i agree with you, but both are D&D races, so they have to have the same level of power or something is wrong, right? And the bonus with slings an thwron weapons for kender it's a old thing and i'm missing it. Another thing, i think that DLCS should have the equipment. For example, i wanna play a kender and i don't have a example of 3.5 D&D hoopak. And now? I should buy another book of 40 dolars? That's not a good thing...
#4 talinthas Aug 29, 2003 1:03:15	Half orcs are also a D&D race. that doesnt mean they need an analog in dragonlance. as for equipment, its coming with the DM screen.
#5 baron_the_curse Aug 29, 2003 1:37:32	I know this is not about the topic, but where you guys upset when 3rd Edition D&D came out and halflins suddenly turn into kenders with common sense? I miss the J.R.R Tolkein's hairy-feet, lazy-thieving-good-for-nothing-rascals.
#6 talinthas Aug 29, 2003 1:47:26	actually, being the DL fanboy that i am, i rather enjoyed it =)

In my home game I am giving kender a free weapon exotic proficiency with hoopak and I am giving them the Improved Taunt Feat from the Age of Mortals. I think this puts them more "on par" with the halfling. Look here for 3.5 Hoopak Stats

Unless, of course, you're running a Spelljammer campaign. ;)

#10 Dragonhelm Aug 29, 2003 10:31:11	There was a 3e Spelljammer mini-game released in the pages of Polyhedron magazine several issues back. While not a conversion of the old setting, it gives you enough basics to get started. Check out the official Spelljammer website: Beyond the Moons
#11 zombiegleemax Aug 29, 2003 13:44:16	hey, kipper, 2 questions for u: 1) Did u do the hoopak 3.5? It's great! Thanks! ;) There are another kenders weapons in your web page? 2) What the improved taunt feat does? Thanks!
#12 zombiegleemax Aug 29, 2003 13:58:32	Yeah, I for one miss the other kender weapons. Hatchak all the way, baby. Are those going to be released at some point?

Is it my impression or the standard halfling is better than kender (on rules)? Well, kender are totally immune to all types of fear and halflings by comparison only receive a +2 to fear saves. That does tend to be a balancing factor. Kender also can use Sleight of Hand and Open Lock as though they were trained in them, halflings get no similar ability. Whether this balances them out is very subjective ... but I'll take a kender over a halfling any day. Besides, the 3rd edition halfling is just a kender wannabe. I mean, come on, the MM picture of a halfling shows him with a topknot! ;)
#14 zombiegleemax Aug 30, 2003 0:46:30	Well, itharanos, i think you are right. Immunity to fear it's a great habilitie, but i miss the bonus with thrown weapons and slings. Seems to me something natural for a kender this bonus (not just the bonus for being small). What do u think? ;) Giving the bonus is too much?

If it makes your kender players happy, then go ahead and give it to them. A +1 to hit with thrown weapons and slings isn't going to outbalance the kender. Or you could even go with just limiting the +1 to hit when using a hoopak for ranged attacks.
#16 zombiegleemax Aug 30, 2003 1:22:24	speaking of hoopak, the rules for DL equipment will be in the Age of Mortals book? I see in dragonlan.com speaking of that, but i didn't like it. Another 40 dolars for the basic rules to play in the world and probably it will be not enough material.
