Thank God It's Kender Friday (Dave Simons, Dragonlance supplement DLR1: Otherlands, TSR, 1990)

When I was in middle school I remember reading a fantasy book that I was super invested in, but for years I couldn’t remember what the book was called. I FINALLY figured it out after googling a bunch of iterations of what the cover looked like, and it turned out it was the original Dragonlance trilogy! I re-read them last year and they unlocked some little nostalgia part of my brain, I really wanted to hash out my renditions of some of the main cast.

Druid persecuted

Jander’s Expanded Guide to Vampires: the Kender Vampire

Hunter’s Rating: 🦇 🦇

By unpopular request, the Kender Vampire has jumped the line! Gods, but these are pitiful things.

Most hunters within the Mists will go their entire lives without ever meeting a kender, much less the undead creations born of their suffering. Kender are native to the world of Krynn, resembling halflings and gnomes in stature and general temperament, and seemed to do quite well avoiding the kind of bad decisions that land most of us in the Domains of Dread - at least until our dear friend Lord Soth got ideas in his bucket-clad head. Not content with the standard suite of zombies and skeletons, and unwilling to use the elves native to Sithicus as minions, Soth abducted a number of kender from his homeland and set about killing them in creative and horrible ways. 

The result of this awful experimentation is the Kender Vampire. A fully artificial undead, Kender Vampires lack any ability to pass on their curse - a small mercy, in my opinion. Their numbers are limited to only those that Lord Soth created, not more than thirty in all. The connection between these creatures and their maker is a deep and unnatural one; no Kender Vampire is capable of acting counter to Soth’s orders or interests, and they tend to act as lieutenants commanding units of lesser undead. In addition, they seem to have inherited their master’s tie to the land, as crossing the border out of Sithicus is instant destruction for a Kender Vampire 

Perhaps as a side effect of their artificial nature, Kender Vampires are... let’s say lacking in certain aspects. Oh they are formidable, and possess a reasonable number of resistances for an undead creature - save yourselves the trouble and leave the poisons and nonmagical weapons at home - but if you can overcome their unusually speedy regeneration, you might find yourself able to literally run circles around them. No Vampiric grace for these creatures; undead kender are stiff and slow, which is a very good thing when you consider their unique attacks.

Do not, under any circumstances, let them hit you. Aside from wielding the hoopak traditional to kender (a sort of combined staff and sling weapon), Kender Vampires possess wicked claws that seem to tear at a victim’s very soul, and a blow from these claws can paralyze the unwary and deal longterm damage to a victim’s psyche.

Another psychological weapon undead kender possess is a hideous, cackling laugh. Anyone that’s dealt with a gibbering mouther will be familiar with this trick, as the kender’s laugh can drive mortals in the vicinity temporarily mad. This, combined with the inherent horror of their existence, tends to more than compensate for their physical frailty. 

As far as unique weaknesses go, Kender Vampires are a curious lot. Their own hoopaks, when turned against them, seem to act as magical weapons, and the sight of an herb native to Krynn called shimmerweed is repellant to them. All Vampires flinch away from reminders of their lost mortal lives, but Kender Vampires seem to do so with a sharper pain than most.

If you must go hunting for undead kenders, do so on the night of a full moon. You will find the poor creature gripped with such sorrow at what they have lost that weeping is all that they can do - although I myself have been hard pressed to strike a kender down with any kind of anger, in this state. It was only through focusing on the mercy such a death would bring that I was able to put an end to the creature. 

Really, Soth. Why did you even make these?

Short, Kleptomaniac Slender Man? Call that Kender Man.
