There comes a day in every Kender's life when they are stricken with the intense desire to leave home and travel the world. This is due primarily to the natural curiosity associated with the Kender and usually takes hold in the early twenties. They desire action, adventure, and to saite an unfathomable appatite to experience new things. Some Kender never make it very far before the wanderlust wears thin and they return home. Not you my friend. You understand that it will be many many moons before your curiosity is filled and you are ready to return home. The world is ripe for the picking, and you have arrived at the orchard.
- Skill Proficiencies: Stealth or Sleight of Hand, Investigation or Perception
- Tool Proficiencies: Kender are fond of all forms of entertainment. You have a choice between many games or instruments to bide your time.
- Languages: Elven, Dwarven, or Gnomish.
- Equipment: A set of traveler's clothes, two pouches filled with randoms trinkets(roll 4 times on the trinket chart in the PHB 159)ignoring repeat rolls, some curious small creature you've managed to pick up along the way such as a butterfly, spider, squirrel or mouse.
Many Kender never stray far from home before the wanderlust wears off and they become content to live out a comfortable life, but others make it far and wide. Your people have picked up a reputation to most people to be at the very least rambunctious, and at the very worst, outright thieves. While most Kender would nevery purposefully steal their lack of exposure to the world at large can sometimes lead to trouble, while others find the curious and impulsive nature harmless or cute even. Whenever you are in a place large enough for enough Kender to have passed through over time to establish a reputation and meet an NPC of some importance(as deemed by the DM) or try to haggle or deal with merchants, roll a D20. If you all roll an even number you have advantage on all rolls pertaining to social interactions with that NPC, however, if you roll odd you have disadvantage on all social interactions with said NPC. This usually portrays itself as either a cheerful and soft hearted exchange or to the other extreme, extreme distrust and annoyance.
Suggested Characteristics
Kender experiencing wanderlust are creatures of curiousity, impulse, and a desire to experience new things. Some choose to go on great adventures, some seek to find many new friends, and others still find as many reasons as there are stars in the sky to wander far and wide. You have a big heart, but a nature that lacks the social etiquette common to the larger populace.
