In 5e all halflings reroll 1 on a d20

Oh yeah but that's only for halflings, if you roll a second one you don't get to reroll it I think.

yep. And Kender is like an extreme of halfling-ness.

yeah, an extreme outgoing adolescent version, lol. Still it wouldn't have saved him from five bad rolls in a row maybe the first though.

Fun note, I convinced a friend of mine to let me make a 5e Kender Thief priest: Kendrivel Fangchipper (a char i've recreated 3 or 4 times). Made him a devotee of Uncle Trapspringer, and made up priestly rituals on-the-spot (like tracing his hand on a door when searching for traps). I got the enjoyment of explaining to him what the heck a Kender was

Gweez: So Hobbits with shoes?

Me: lol. something like that. Perpetual pranksters that resemble Elven children
Utterly Fearless, no concept of ownership, and an innate ability to taunt alnost anyone into a rage

Gweez: Dear god.
Yeah have you got a reasonable 5e conversion?

Me: https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Kender_(5e_Race)

Gweez: I’m okay with this

Me: You say that now...

The poor bastard has no Idea what is coming.

Is that the game I tried to take part in? But quickly realized I will never be free on a Monday evening?

So, imagine being far enough into the future Uncle Trapsprinnger could be a Warlock Patron lol!!

lol, the very same game. I would use it as a minor deity instead of a warlock Patron, but I guess you could work it both ways. There is even a 2e unofficial design for clerics of the Trap Springer, which I'm currently using for another iteration of Kendrivel on a different site

I think it would take longer to be a Warlock Patron, or on a different plane.

Locksly the Loxodon, would have been some serious fun.

Why is playing a Kender so fun? lol

Might be because you can create chaos at will and not really get blamed. So like being 5 years old again.
