My party consists of

Human knight
Silvanesti Majere cleric/ranger
Kender Mishakal cleric/thief
2 Qualinesti fighter/Kiri-Jolith cleric/white mage
Qualinesti fighter/cleric/red mage

I'm planning to play the trilogy with them.
Sometimes I wish I had created more males for higher strength, I have to leave too much loot behind.

I wouldn't create a kender fighter/thief, a kender Kiri-Jolith cleric/thief gets more HP,better thac0, many cleric spells and can wear the same armor.

I doubt that the hoopak+2 is as useful as the 18/99 strength male dwarves get.
But I fear I'll miss something if I play a game without Kender, are there other advantages in taking one besides hoopaks and the seemingly useless yell ?
If not, even the roleplaying factor is enough for me to take one.
