			You are a little man with a big appetite
			and a comfortable home, which you
			plan to return to as soon as this one little
			quest is completed. And once you’re home, you
			plan to never leave again. The taller races might
			enjoy hunting for gold and glory, but all you ask
			for is a full stewpot, a cozy home, and pleasant
			interlocutors for teatime.


			Halflings are un-ambitious country-dwellers who
			live in well-ordered peace and quiet. Their small
			stature and modest goals let them escape the notice
			of most major powers. They keep to themselves
			and make contact with others only when
			they are inadvertently drawn into the affairs of
			“the taller races,” as they call elves, dwarves, and
			humans. Halflings prefer lives of farming, gardening,
			beer-brewing, and other simple crafts. The
			few that take up adventuring are usually traders
			or ne’er-do-wells who have somehow been thrust
			outside the ordered nature of their normal lives.


			Hit points: A halfling gains 1d6 hit points at each
			level. They’re small, but lucky.


			Weapon training: Halflings prefer to battle with a
			weapon in each hand. A halfling is trained in the
			use of the club, crossbow, dagger, handaxe, javelin,
			shortbow, short sword, sling, and staff. Halflings
			usually wear armor – it’s much safer, you
			know.


			Alignment: Halflings value community, family,
			and kinship. They are usually lawful, or at the
			very extreme, neutral. Chaotic and evil halflings
			are extremely rare.


			Two-weapon Fighting: Halflings are masters at
			two-weapon fighting, as follows:
			• Normally, two-weapon fighting depends on
			the character’s Agility to be effective (see
			pages 94-95). A halfling is always considered
			to have a minimum Agility of 16 when
			fighting with two weapons. This means he
			rolls at -1 die for his first attack and second,
			based on the dice chain (typically 1d16 for his
			first attack, and 1d16 for his second).
			• A halfling can fight with two equal-sized onehanded
			weapons, such as two handaxes or
			two short swords.
			• Unlike other characters, when fighting with
			two weapons, a halfling scores a crit and automatic
			hit on any roll of a natural 16.
			• If the halfling has an Agility score higher than
			16, he instead uses the normal two-weapon
			fighting rules for his Agility.
			• When fighting with two weapons, the halfling
			fumbles only when both dice come up a 1.


			Infravision: Halflings dwell in pleasant homes
			carved from the sod beneath hills. As such, halflings
			can see in the dark up to 30’.


			Small size: Halflings are 2 to 4 feet tall, and the
			stoutest among them weighs no more than 70
			pounds. This small size allows them to crawl into
			narrow passages and through tiny holes.
			Stealth: Halflings are quite good at sneaking
			around. They receive a bonus to sneaking silently
			and hiding in shadows depending on their class
			level, as shown on table 1-18. This can be used in
			the same manner as a thief’s abilities.


			Good luck charm: Halflings are notoriously
			lucky. A halfling gains additional bonuses when
			expending Luck, as follows.
			First, a halfling doubles the bonus of a Luck check.
			For every 1 point of Luck expended, a halfling
			gains a +2 to his roll.
			Second, unlike other classes, a halfling recovers
			lost Luck to a limited extent. The halfling’s Luck
			score is restored each night by a number of points
			equal to his level. This process cannot take his
			Luck score past its natural maximum. (The process
			works similar to how the thief ability is described,
			above.)
			Third, a halfling’s luck can rub off on those around
			him. The halfling can expend Luck to aid his allies.
			The ally in question must be nearby and visible to
			the halfling. The halfling can act out of initiative
			order to burn Luck and apply it to the ally’s rolls.
			The halfling loses the Luck, and the ally receives
			the benefit. The halfling’s Luck modifier can apply to any roll made by an ally: attack rolls, damage rolls,
			saves, spell checks, thief skills, and so on.


			Note that the good luck charm ability applies to only one
			halfling in the party. There is luck to having a halfling
			with an adventuring party, but there is not “more luck”
			to having more than one halfling. If multiple halflings accompany
			an adventuring party, only one of them counts
			as a good luck charm, and that cannot change through
			rearranging or separating the party. Luck is a fickle thing
			governed by gods and game masters, and players would
			do well not to attempt to manipulate the spirit of this rule.


			Languages: At 1st-level, a halfling automatically knows
			Common, the halfling racial language, plus one additional
			randomly determined language. A halfling knows
			one additional language for every point of Int modifier, as
			described in Appendix L.
			Action dice: A halfling’s action dice can be used for attacks
			or skill checks.
