Ok ok - just give my watch back you little... and the wallet...
 Anyway, Kenders are a race of little creatures, about 1/2 man height, 
 distantly related to elves.  They tend to live rather long... immature 

They are relatives to DWARVES. This is noted due to the effects of the 
GREY GEM.  Tasslehoff is currently the only mature kender due to his 
travels and emotional experiences with the nine heroes.

 lives, with the average Kender having no more common sense than Kuno.

Actually, they have an incredible level of common sense.  But they do it 
subconciously, hence, giving the impression of stupidity while for some 
reason, they tend to survive much longer than their non-kender comrades.
  

 Fortunately without the flowery language.  They also have a habit of 
 picking up things, which other people own.

No comment. ;)

Tasselhoff: Here, this fell out of your pocket.  I was just holding it 
 for you.

Here Tasselhoss, I saw this lying on the table, didn't want someone to 
steal it. *returns Rabbit Slayer to Tasslehoff*  Btw, how's Flint?  

Thanks. grrr.  They are very good pickpockets, lock pickers etc etc.  
 Basically, if its not theirs, they will take it.  The idea for the 
 character originated with the author of the 'Dragonlance' novels ( W 
 someone )

Margaret Weis and Tracey Hickman were the authors.

They detest being called thieves and the like.  They consider 
themselves... skilled adventurers in the truest sense.

Kendra: And we're so *cute*!

*smiles* I agree. ^_^;;

She still scares me.  Thankfully no Kender is *ever* going to walk the 
Pattern or Logrus.

There were Kender Clerics of medium levels of power back in the days of 
the GODPRIEST of ISHTAR. Then... splat. ;)

Nagisa.
