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.
