Down to Our Level [two-actions] Frequency once per round; Effect The bill-band deliberately gets under the feet of their opponents, proving they are greater than the sum of their parts. The bill-band attempts to Trip all creatures in or adjacent to their space. They roll one Athletics check and compare the result to the Reflex DC of each target.Firecracker Salvo [two-actions] Frequency once per round; Effect The bill-band launches a barrage of lit firecrackers that, upon impact, burst into light and sound. Each creature in a 10-foot burst within 60 feet takes 1d12 sonic damage with a DC 19 basic Reflex save. A creature that fails its save is also dazzled for 1 round. When the bill-band is reduced to 2 or fewer segments, this area decreases to a 5-foot burst.Overwhelming Scrum The bill-band swarms in and around other creatures. They can move into other creatures' spaces, and other creatures can move into their spaces. The bill-band's spaces are difficult terrain to other creatures.Stick It to 'Em! [one-action] to [three-actions] Frequency once per round; Effect The bill-band swings barely coordinated fists and feet at each enemy in their space and in a 5-foot emanation, with a DC 19 basic Reflex save. The damage depends on the number of actions.
[one-action] 1d6 bludgeoning damage
[two-actions] 2d6+4 bludgeoning damage
[three-actions] 3d6+6 bludgeoning damage.

Halfling

Source Monster Core pg. 192 1.1
Despite their small stature, a halfling can prove to be a mighty foe if you find yourself on the wrong side of their frying pan.

Sidebar - Locations Halfling Communities

Beyond their own towns and caravans, many halflings settle within the cities of humans and other ancestries. They find niches for themselves, often working as servants and restaurant staff. Halflings especially thrive in metropolises where people of many backgrounds pass through. They often lament that the environment isn't built for them, and need to practice climbing shelves or carry tools to operate high door latches and the like..

Sidebar - Locations Illicit Imports

Wherever there's a commodity that people want, there are always those willing to procure it and smuggle it in. Examples include:
  • Rare technologies from Alkenstar and Numeria.
  • Exotic flora and fauna for private collection.
  • Magical secrets from the Arcanamirium in Absalom or knowledge of the Mana Wastes from Nex.
  • Narcotics.
  • People, especially oppressed people being brought to safety.

Sidebar - Treasure and Rewards Kitchen Weaponry

Halflings love objects that can serve multiple practical purposes, especially if their purpose includes eating. Few objects can be used for more activities than a frying pan, and many halflings relish telling others all the uses they have found for their pans if asked.
