Character Class: Halfling

Halflings are a little more complicated than in the Labyrinth Lord book.  They still require a DEX and CON of 9 or higher; the prime requisites are still STR and DEX.  They still use a D6 for HP and cap out at 8th Level.  They CANNOT use 2-Handed weapons, but CAN wear any armor.

HALFLING SKILLS

Halflings were always sort of a cross between Fighters and Thieves, so we're going to use Bruce Heard's experimental Thief skills for Halflings.  Our Halflings have modified skills as per this chart:

FINGER WORK

This is an all-purpose roll for Picking Pockets, Picking Locks, and Disarming Traps.  

OTHER SKILLS

These should be self-explanatory.

HALFLINGS VS MAGIC

Halflings have a unique and special connection to the world.  Halflings NEVER wear shoes because they must feel a direct connection to the earth.  In fact, if a Halfling is standing directly in dirt, mud, or grassland they enjoy a +1 Bonus to all Savings Throws against Magic in any shape or form, including from spells, wands, staves, rods and (possibly) some artifacts.  This ability does NOT work in sand, on rock or stone, on brickwork, or on wooden planks.  A grassy forest floor will work, standing on a fallen tree will NOT.

IMPROVED ABILITIES

Every time you achieve a Level where your Saving Throws improve, you may select 1 of the Improved Combat Abilities listed on the Combat Page.
