No they are not. The Monster Manuals are not player resources. This is shown on page 2 of the CCG.

EDIT: You can also look here for legal options: http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=1112519

As a player character race, no.

As far as citations for this?

Page 2 of the CCG lists legal "player resources" for characters. Monster Manual 2 (which is where kenku come from) isn't on the list.

You can also always check the LFR Legal Player Options thread, which WolfStar maintains with the most current list.

Edit: beaten to the punch by Dragon9, but at least we cited the same info! Go Team VCL! ;)

There is a special RPGA card that was available at the convention I went to last week, allowing the holder to play a Kenku.

So you might check to see if your local con or gameday got them.

I had a feeling the next set would have one.

Since I'm hearing the rewards cards are in distribution already, I'll add them to the Player Options list.

I'm reminded of the 'pulls gun' panel which often forms part of Robin Laws' comic 'The Birds'. An example: http://robin-d-laws.livejournal.com/322319.html

I think the Warforged thing has achieved official Trope status on these forums. Maybe i should add it to the FAQ...

Aww don't go and do that. Proficiency: Running Joke is one of the things that separates the men (and the m) from the boys. In my day you had to earn that proficiency. You can't just go handing it out to all these whippersnappers for free. :P

Point taken.

Althogh if you're not careful we'll have to rename you Sdrangorgfognik. ;)

FWIW, kenku are now a legal player race *if* you have the appropriate rewards card from GenCon '09

Lets be fair, those whippersnappers certainly don't read the FAQ to begin with... so how would it ruin anything?

Warforged have to be legal, because at least one was played at GenCon, though not at a table at which I was playing.

Sorry, Pauper, you've walked into a running joke.

"Can I play a Warforged in LFR" has been asked *so* often, that it's become a tongue-in-cheek post that someone feels obligated to add to every "Is XXX legal in LFR?" thread.

The funny part about it is that they have to go past the thread stating all current legal player options to get to this forum to ask if something is legal.

Silly Samrin, FAQs are for ignoring! ;)

Don't you know that no one reads FAQs or other stickies before posting? :P

I was lucky enough to get the kenku rewards card for DMing the Delve at GenCon, so I've already created my kenku character: Poe, the archer ranger. I'm looking forward to trying him out.

Jealous!

If they have that at Ft. Wayne (or one of the two smaller cons I hope to get to go to before then) then I'm just gonna Delve 'til I get the points. I didn't have enough free time to play the five or six times it would have taken me to get enough tokens!

At Gencon most delves were three tokens each with ten needed for the Kenku card. I was lucky and had a four token round, we beat the delve and so got my Kenku card in three games. You really shouldn't need more than four unless you are very unlucky.

I played the Delve at GenCon five times, and got four tokens (i.e., finished it) in four out of the five.  I guess I was just lucky. Sealed

Could be, or you might be awesome. I did play one a classic delve with the group that was the first group to finish the Ultimate Delve and we lost. The secret ingredient to them losing was the addition of me as a pickup player... So perhaps I am less awesome. Still, I had fun in all the delves I played. It is D&D as a board game, but it makes for a fun board game.

I found some of the classic delves were harder to finish on time that others. Swarms especially take up a lot of time since they are harder to kill when the PCs had few to no area or close effects.

I too got my kenku card, and I'm already planning on either a rogue or a chaos sorcerer for the Embers of Dawn series (leaning towards the sorcerer).  As for how I got mine, let's just say that I got credit for eight rounds of judging at Gen Con by volunteering to judge an extra table in a slot when I was thinking of playing.

Kenku are legal if you have the kenku race card to play. YOu get them from playing in dungeons devs and such
