Level Adjustment

  • +2 Dexterity, -2 Strength: Halflings are quick, agile, and good with ranged weapons, but they are small and therefore not as strong as other humanoids.
  • Small: 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 she uses smaller weapons than humans use, and her lifting and carrying limits are three-quarters of those of a Medium character.
  • Halfling base land speed is 20 feet.
  • +2 racial bonus on Climb, Jump, and Move Silently checks: Halflings are agile, surefooted, and athletic.
  • +1 racial bonus on all saving throws: Halflings are surprisingly capable of avoiding mishaps.
  • +2 morale bonus on saving throws against fear. This bonus stacks with the halfling’s +1 racial bonus on saving throws in general.
  • +1 racial bonus on attack rolls with a thrown weapon and slings: Throwing and slinging stones is a universal sport among halflings, and they develop especially good aim.
  • +2 racial bonus on Listen checks: Halflings have keen ears.
  • Favored Class: Rogue. A multiclass halfling’s rogue class does not count when determining whether she take an experience point penalty for multiclassing (see XP for Multiclass Characters in the Player’s Handbook, p. 60).
