Really, it's number 1 here that's bad. If they were merely hypocritical irredeemable dipshit thieves they'd just be annoying, but having them be Word Of God 'Good' and everyone knows it and anyone who kicks a kender for stealing their food is an Evil Person is just absolutely galling.

If you think this is bad, wait until you find out about the Word of God ‘Good’ slave-owning elves

No, they are in the source book. Though we might not be talking about the same source book. This is the one that I'm talking about.

Tinker gnomes are listed at page 21. The general gnomish race of Krynn and Mad Gnomes are on page 56.

Purple‘s review is of the Tales of the Lance boxed set published in 1992.

e: I played in a dragonlance campign for all of junior high & high school & the day the DM managed to get a copy of Dragonlance Adventures was the day anyone was at all interested in playing a tinker gnome.

How are you supposed to say his made-up name? Is it Pang-loss or pan-gloss?

Because both are incredibly dumb.

I remember thinking at the time that blue rose was one of the better implementations of d20, mechanically speaking.

The weightlessness feat sounds like they got rid of “grubbian” physics, which is a shame because I liked the weirdness of how gravity worked in 2e spelljammer. Not a downgrade as much as a sidegrade, I suppose.

I know that "what does HP represent" in an unsolvable DnD mystery, but levels must be a close second. Lose levels if you change a good, which means that you... lose associated stat increases and abilities?

And then you're also limited how far you can advance because some guy already has the hierarchical position that comes with level 18? So you can't get smarter, stronger, more skilled until your superior buys it?

Do youth-as-levels draining ghosts also inhabit this edition?

I don’t think D&D had level-based stat increases until 3e. IIRC if you wanted to get smarter or stronger you had to read a Tome of Clear Thought or a Manual of Gainful Exercise or spend a bunch of wishes.

So maybe don’t make up a religion that explicitly does that?

I notice they used a romanization of the Hebrew letter ר for the antichrist’s surname, but I don’t know if they were going for something with it.

Klaives! It's the knife that's also a glaive!

I'm being told that's an impossible combination.

Maybe with that attitude
