I will balance my team out and I do want a Kender with their yell. However, the only reason I asked about multi-class restricting is I read somewhere that later games such as Pools of Darkness and DQoK were not possible with level limitations but if you say it’s fine, then I will use limiting races and that’s what I wish to do. (Something about Dave’s/David’s trial or something like that is what I read about to)There's no one right way to play any of these games (no matter what Cael will try to tell you). Build the party you want to build and don't worry about level limitations. Unlike later versions of the game (except maybe 5th Edition), AD&D was a bit more forgiving when it came to level differences as the number spread doesn't usually go high enough to worry about it. Plenty of people sitting at actual tabletops played with those same restrictions and did fine.
I can also tell you I've done several runs through the game series (Pool of Radiance - Pools of Darkness, for example) and I never had any issues with my characters even when they were limited in some levels. The key is to sometimes pair them off with a class they aren't limited in (for example, I tend to play a half-elf Fighter/Thief in my party configuration...I never give a single thought to whatever level they stop being a fighter and they can take Thief all the way to 40).
Having a Kender in the Krynn games can be extremely helpful. Their "Taunt" ability is not to be underestimated. Forcing the enemy to act like idiots while they rush toward your Kender and let their guard down or having enemy spellcasters try to target only the Kender with a Fireball while he's standing in the middle of a bunch of other enemies can be pretty rewarding. You can turn the tide of some battles just by using taunt and setting your characters up so that enemies have to run through them to get to the Kender, and ending up with a lot of free attacks. They're also immune to fear, which makes them essential in fights against dragons. They're the only race that can use the Hoopak (a combination melee and ranged weapon), and considering you find magical ones in the game it's best to have someone to give them to. They can also backstab with Hoopaks if they take the Thief class.
