I have recently been working with a group of players that have absolutely no experience with the Dragonlance setting or any of the books. These are experienced D&D players, I assure you, so this came as a surprise to me.

On another thread I listed one of my favorite traps.
Here is the link to the thread:

And here is the trap that I used:

KENDER Birthday party. I sent a party into a castle only to discover a giant cake, in a massve banquet hall, that said happy birthday. As they were looking at the cake 400 Kender came in and happily greeted the party to wish them a happy birthday. If you don't know; kender are horrible cleptomaniacs, consequently my players knew this. The mage cast a fireball, targetting himself. The cleric melded with stone. The other wizard flew into a ceiling corner and put up a firewall. The fighter and the rogue were picked clean. AAAAh, I was nice and let them torch the place and loot the kender for their items, but ti could be a great plot twist. Send the party looking for the evil mastermind of this plan.....

What are the best references of Kender-like behavior in the Dragonlance settings.

The novel Spirit of the Wind, and the Kencyclopedia.

The concept 'all kender are crazy kleptos' is a little overused, and I mean that in the way that they don't take everything from everyone all the time. Seriously. :D

Great website I appreciate it. I know that not all kender are mad cleptos, but this party was packing some mighty shiny stuff and with 400 of them there I figure that even if I random rolled it they would be missing some things. Nothing motivates a party like theft and betrayal.
