Heyo! I am quite new here on the forums, but I thought I wanted to publish some of my thoughts concerning halflings/kender (if you haven't read Dragonlance ; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kender).
And when I say halflings (or kender, just put the /kender in every time you see the halfling-word) I don't mean the fat, lazy, farmer hobbits from Tolkien. No, I'm talking about lean, strong, soft-eyed halflings, who ain't gonna die until they have seen it all! Intelligent (Well, not too intelligent), jovial, adventure-loving halflings. I'm totally into the idea of walking around, stealing (or "lending"), stabbing murderous-looking cows, and just trying to survive in this world of hatred.
So, without further ado, let's jump right into everything!
Lore:
Halflings had led their lives farming, fishing, building and what-have-you-not, in solitude until the day that they were discovered by human kind. The halflings, thrilled to see such tall, rich humans, had enthusiastic taken their chance to do business and travel with the humans. The halflings soon made their mark across all the world, "lending" stuff, terrifying innocents with their practical jokes and all-in-all being what the world around them would call "vermin". Prisons were filled to the brim with halflings, who had picked up object which had "accidently" fallen into their pockets. The orcs had taken action, and together with the undead and Dakkar, has started to eradicate this "plague" from the world. Though the world may stand against them, the halflings will fight to the last breath. Seeking to rebuild the honor which they (thought they) had in the days of yonder, the halflings will stand together, to face the threats of the world, which is hastily unraveling before their very eyes.
Yeah, well, I have never been a great writer, so I am content with what I have whipped up
Now to the technical parts of this race.
In game (Minecraft):
Their race bonus would perhaps be:
Cannot be affected with vampirism (Of course).
10% more movement speed (?)
10% more hunger regained when eating (?).
Out of game (?):
Appearance: The halflings are small-boned, lean and often also quite intelligent (Often not wise, though).
They are wilder and more fearless than "hobbits" and sometimes cruel as only children can be. They are also described as brave, taunting, daunting and cute. They have pointed ears (like elves) and they do have quite a resemblance to the elves. Colors of skin, hair and eyes varies greatly. They are very energetic and can sometimes talk fast and rambling, which makes them hard to understand.
Like it or not, this is what I had in mind Feel free to comment (constructive criticism appreciated) and vote! Cheers mates!
