Description

Tallfellows speak Halfling and Common, and generally speak Elven as well.

Combat

Halflings prefer to fight defensively, usually hiding and launching ranged attacks as the foe approaches.

Tallfellow Traits (Ex): Tallfellows benefit from a number of racial traits.

  • Small: Halflings gain a +1 size bonus to AC and attack rolls and a +4 size bonus to Hide checks, but they must use smaller weapons than humans use, and their lifting and carrying limits are three-quarters of those of Medium-size creatures.
  • +1 racial bonus to all saving throws.
  • +2 morale bonus to saving throws against fear. (This bonus stacks with the halfling's +1 bonus to saving throws in general.)
  • +1 racial attack bonus with a thrown weapon.
  • +2 racial bonus to Search, Spot, and Listen checks. Like an elf, a tallfellow who merely passes within 5 feet of a secret or concealed door is entitled to a Search check as though actively looking for it.

Skills: Tallfellows's keen hearing bestows a +2 racial bonus to Listen checks.

Tallfellow Characters
