In keeping with the theme of this series, Halflings explores halflings and new rules for their favored class, rogues. The book was extensively overhauled to be compatible with the 3.5 revision.

In addition to the usual new feats and 10 rogue multi-class prestige classes, the book has many new rules and options, including:

  • Lashworking
    You’d be amazed what nimble fingers can do with a few sticks and a bit of twine
  • Bluffs and Feints
    A selection of bluffs for those who long for more than simply “The target is denied his Dex bonus…” (We particularly like The Angry Penguin…)
  • Dirty Fighting
    Do something with your sneak attack dice besides killing
  • Ropemaking
    Fire-proof, water-proof, grease-proof, noose-proof, saw-cord, incendiary fuses… and a bit of box twine
  • Halfling Graffiti
    The code of tramps and vagabonds everywhere; add a little “everyday magic” to your halfling
  • Trapmaking
    From Granny’s Tonic to the Dirty Knobber, a selection of traps you can build with everyday items and set up in 10 minutes or less! 
  • “Jellija For Sale”
    A short introductory adventure for a solo halfling rogue.

We are extremely happy with this, our fourth book in the Heroes of High Favor series. Thanks to the inspired writing of co-author Jeremy Baldridge and the skills of Bad Axe Games’ ENnie nominated design team, we feel this is the most flavorful and visually appealing book of the series so far.

Heroes of High Favor: Halflings should be available within a few weeks.

Thus, we are happy to present this our first web enhancement.

The Rune feats in Heroes of High Favor: Dwarves was just a small sampling of the kinds of runes that clever GMs and players can create. In this web enhancement, designer Benjamin Durbin gives you a glimpse into the design process behind the Rune feats so that you can create new, unique, and balanced Rune feats.

You can find the web enhancement in our downloads section.
