In my campaign that was used to great effect. Dwarven magic items smelled good and a dwarf could tell at once if a hoard item had been pilfered from the dwaves, ages ago.<br><br>Ken had a game going on at Trollhalla, when we got to invent stuff about the kindreds.

I look forward to seeing more of this.<br><br>In reference to kindred abilities, the 5th edition rules do list a number of special abilities for the different kin. I go over all of these in my Evolution of T&T: Kindred post at The Lone Delver. Dwarves, for example, are able to determine the values of gems and jewels on sight and can sniff out large concentrations of gold if they are close enough.Danhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06566438657075402308noreply@blogger.com
