If we are going to have kender in the realms, then let us make them more like kender. Instead of some of their crazy fighter skills, give them a few new ones. Here is an example.
"Kender Insult"
Next to picking pockets, a kender can hurl insults better than any living creature. They can rile a church group into a homicidal fury. Many have been the foe that have been thrown off by a kender insult.
A kender taunt causes an opponent to lower their guard because they strive to beat that foul-mouthed creature into a pulp. AC raises significantly. Also, any other actions are delayed, if not totally not allowed for the remainder of the fight. This includes fleeing and casting spells. Even a wizard wants to pummel the kender with his bare hands.
AC +10xlevel
Flee, spell casting, all commands not allowed
