Standard Races - Halflings

Habitantes das estepes do norte, os halflings são um povo bárbaro e temeroso. Agressivos e impiedosos atacam sem misericórdia quem invade o seu território, comendo a sua carne. São a única raça conhecida capaz de domesticar e montar os perigosos lagartos peludos da Garulia que usam nas suas constantes batalhas entre clãs. Vivem em tocas no chão em condições que muito consideram deploráveis.

• + 2 Dexterity, -2 Intelligence, -2 Charisma: Halflings are nimble but are not very cerebral nor social.

• Small-size: As a Small creature, a halfling gains a +1 size bonus to Armor Class, a +1 size bonus on attack rolls, and a +4 size bonus on Hide checks, but he uses smaller weapons than humans use, and his lifting and carrying limits are three-quarters of those of a Medium character.

• Halfling base land speed is 20 feet.

• Low-light vision: A halfling can see twice as far as humans in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. They retain the ability to distinguish color and detail in these conditions.

• +2 racial bonus on Jump, Handle animal, Ride and Survival skill checks: Halflings are athletic and know how to survive in the steppes. They are master handlers and riders.

• +1 racial bonus on all saving throws: halflings are surprisingly capable of avoiding mishaps.

• +4 morale bonus on saving throws against fear: Halflings seem unable to feel fear.

• +1 racial bonus on attack rolls with thrown weapons and slings: javelins and slings are common weapons in feral halfling society, and many halflings are taught to throw at an early age.

• Weapon Familiarity: Halflings may treat skiprocks and war slings as martial weapons, rather than exotic weapons.

• Favored Class: Barbarian. A multiclass halfling barbarian class does not count when determining whether he takes an experience point penalty.
