Introduction

A
s the group of heroes made their way through
the ancient ruins, they came across an old well.
Derwin Brokenlock ran over to the well full of
excitement, his topknot dancing on his head.
On tippy-toes, he peered down the well before
turning back to his friends, “It’s pretty deep, I
wonder how far down it goes?”
The kender starting climbing on top of the well to jump in when
his good friend Kiara spoke, “Derwin, maybe we should test
how far down it is before you jump?”
Derwin scrunched his face and climbed down. He smiled,
“I have just the thing!” as he rummaged through his various
pockets and pouches. The first thing he pulled out was a feather.
“No, this was my uncle’s, I need to save it for him.” Derwin
tucked the feather back in a different pocket. Next he drew out a
pickle, “that reminds me, I’m hungry.” He took a bite and tossed
the rest down the well.
Everyone listened in silence for a long time before it made a
soft, distant splash.
“Wow, that’s really far down! Are you sure I can’t jump in?”.

Kender Pockets
Kender are known to have all manner of objects on their person,
from magical to mundane. The following d100 table, in the spirit
of the Kender Pockets rules as presented in the original Drag-
onlance Adventures sourcebook for AD&D first edition, offers
players and DMs a ready-made list of items that kender could
randomly pull from their various pouches and pockets.
The items on the table, include the follow:
• Twenty blank spaces for players or DMs to add items the
kender is equipped with or picks up during the course of
their adventures.
• Five low level magic items (any one of which could be
swapped for a potion of healing with the DM’s permission).
• Eight items that spellcasters could use as material com-
ponents for various spells (for DMs and players who don’t
track material components, replace two of these listings
with a free component pouch while the other six spaces
could be blank or something else).
• Seven items that could spark adventure quests.
• Thirty items that are non-magical, but possibly useful.
• And thirty items that are also non-magical, but probably not
useful.
Care should be taken so that kender pockets allow for and en-
courage roleplaying. If the kender is in combat, or under a time
constraint, they should be allowed to flawless retrieve a known
item, or randomly pull the most useful item from the list. Other-
wise, roll randomly once or twice and have fun with the results.
Using the Tables
For Players
Players can use the pre-built Kender Pockets table with your
Dungeon Master’s approval for their next kender character. The
table includes 20 blank spaces for items they already have or
pick up along the way.
Alternately, players could build their own Kender Pockets
table from scratch with the included blank table. If players are
maintaining and using their own Pockets table, they might
want to leave spaces for “DM surprise” and when they roll one
of these entries, the DM consults their own private table to see
what is recovered.
For Dungeon Masters
Dungeon Masters can make use of the table for use with kender
NPCs. Many of the items could also be used as things found on
a body, or the result of a successful pickpocketing attempt.
The included blank table allows DMs to create their own
Pockets table and leveraging their own creativity along with
any number of various published trinket tables or random item
generators.
Also you can increase the likelihood of finding a particular
item by including it across multiple numbers. Instead of assign-
ing “One steel coin” to a single space (#5), you can include it
across several numbers (#5 through #10) for greater frequency.
I hope you get plenty of use from this table, and a lot of great
roleplaying fun. If you use this table, let me know how it works
out for your table or character by leaving a comment on
DMs Guild, twitter @dmfumbl, or YouTube (https://www.you-
