help > halfling Halfling --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Halflings are extremely gregarious and outgoing creatures, with round, childlike faces; big, affable grins; and extremely hairy feet. They stand about 3 feet tall, and otherwise appear to be very small humans. They are very proud of their fur-covered feet, and never cover them. Halflings are masterful merry-makers and deeply enjoy the Good Things in life. They enjoy a lively song, and they are considered the best story- tellers in the realm. They also love a really bad joke, especially if it's at the expense of the 'big folk'. These jests often involve a well-placed taunt, or the pocketing of small 'misplaced' goods. Halflings are peace-loving by nature, and are particularly inoffensive and non-threatening. However, they are also some of the bravest creatures in the realm, able to face intimidating threats that would make a hardened minotaur warrior balk. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Halflings have the following stat adjustments: Strength -20 Dexterity +15 Intelligence 0 Constitution +5 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Halflings have the following skill adjustments: steal +5 hide +5 parry +5 sleight +5 escape +5 wail -5 singing +5 guts +5 frighten -10 taunt +10 quell +10 intimidate -15 stealth +5 Halflings start with first degree Air for the Wu-Jen mage subclass. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Halflings have the following sight restrictions: Max Sight 9 Min Sight 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Halflings are considered a small race. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Halflings have the following combat adjustments in certain terrain: cultivated +10 plains +10 building +5 town +5 road +5 swamp -5 dimension -10 arctic -10 ship -5 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
