Halflings

Halflings are mostly a peaceful race,

wishing nothing more than to eat

(especially eat!), drink and be merry.

They live in closely-knit communities and

they are rarely troubled by other races.

Sitting comfortably under an evening

sun, one would most often see a halfling

sitting reclined under a tree, munching,

smoking and laughing. As they generally

keep to themselves and avoid trouble,

most halflings live long, peaceful lives.

Some halflings however cannot find

peace in such a familiar atmosphere and

they seek adventures like those in the

stories they were told when they were

young. Every so often a village Elder

succumbs to this wanderlust, and when

his unrest becomes unbearable he rounds

up a group of other like-minded halflings

to head out and change the world.

Heroes:

Halfling Elder: Each Halfling Warband

must have one Halfling Elder: no more,

no less! 20xp start.

Halfling Cook: Your warband may

include one Halfling Cook. 8xp start.

Halfling Thief: Your Warband may

include one Halfling Thief. 8xp start.

Halfling Youths: Your warband may

include two Halfling Youths. 0xp start.

SPECIAL RULES

Pretty much human: Halflings are

pretty much human and therefore may

hire any hired sword available to human

mercenaries.

Too Big: Halflings may never use Long

bows, Elf Bows, Handguns, Long Rifles or

Blunderbusses even if they gain an

advance roll that would allow them to do

so. Such big weapons are¶t built for such

tiny hands!

Halfling Items: Halflings do not gain

any bonuses from having Halfling items

(such as the Halfling Cookbook) because

they already know all the knowledge

that can be obtained from such things.

Henchmen:

Halfling Scouts: Your Warband may

include seven Halfling Scouts.

Halfling Warriors: Your Warband may

include five Halfling Warriors.

Piggies: Your Warband may include four

Piggies.

Village Ogre: Your warband may

include one Village Ogre.

0-1 Halfling Cook

35 Gold Crowns to hire.

Halfling Cooks dream of only one thing:

gourmet food! To find such exquisite

gastronomic delights they will often

venture outside of their homely towns

and villages to find those things they

love: rare herbs and spices,

mouth-watering meats, delectable

deserts, fragrant fruit «..(the list goes

on and on!). Of course, chopping veggies

as the speed of light while keeping ones

fingers takes tireless training. While they

may not be as handy with a sling or bow

as many other halflings, their skill with a

blade is unsurpased!

HEROES

Occasionally Halfling Elders tire of the

responsibility of taking care of a village.

They wish they were young again, so

they could eat ten meals a day and get

way and when selling Treasure or

Wyrdstone the warband is considered to

be one size lower. Any role below a 5+

does not represent the chef¶s inability to

conjure up some delicious food, it just

means he ate all the excess food before

his other companions got there!

HENCHMEN

0-7 Halfling Scouts

20 Gold Crowns to hire.

Most Halflings are expected to do some

military service. Some protect the Moot

from the rare attacks of Orcs and

Goblins, others simply patrol the peaceful

roads that lead elsewhere. While most

are happy to sit back once their duty is

fulfilled, others sign on to a warband and

roam the countryside, searching for

adventure.

0-1 Halfling Thief

30 Gold Crowns to hire.

Halfling thieves are often lured out of

their villages by the prospect of all the

useful and pretty things they could

³borrow´ from people. Just think, if they

can ³acquire´ so many items within the

confines of a small village, who knows

what they could ³find´ when set loose

upon the world!

Weapons/Armour: A Halfling Thief may

SPECIAL RULES

Infiltrator: He may always be placed on

the battlefield after enemy warband(s),

and can be placed anywheres on the

table as long as it is out of sight of the

opposing warband and at least 12´ away

from any enemy model. If more than one

model has infiltrate, roll-off to see who

places first.

Pick Locks: When testing to open a

locked door, a Halfling Thief needs only

make a successful Initiative test.

Cutpurse: A Halfling Thief makes a living

of ³finding´ things others have ³lost´. If

the Halfling Thief took part in a battle,

and was not taken OOA, then the

warband gains +1 Treasure ontop of what

they would normally find.

0-5 Halfling Warriors

25 Gold Crowns to hire.

Stocky brutes (by halfling standards,

anyways) halfling warriors live for the

excitement garnered by adventure.

0-4 Piggies

20 Gold Crowns to hire.

Only Halfings know how vicious a

cornered piggy can be. When provoked

they can even eat a small Halfling

whole! And of course if the food runs

short then guess who¶s for dinner«.

Weapons/Armour: None! Apart from

their vicious tempers Piggies don¶t use

weapons and can fight without

penalties.

SPECIAL RULES

Animals: Piggies are animals and never

gain experience.

0-2 Halfling Youths

10 Gold Crowns to hire.

Having heard such tales as ³Tinkle

Witherson and the Golden Boots´ and

³Little Gumblewort¶s Big Adventure´

young halflings aspire to become like

these famed halfling heroes. They will

do anything, ANYTHING, to become a

glorious hero; even if that means

missing a meal or two!

0-1 Village Ogre

140 Gold Crowns to hire.

Halflings and Ogres have one thing in

common: FOOD! Although they me seem

like a bit of an odd pairing, Ogres are

often lured from the hills by the

opportunity to sample the local

delicacies of the Moot. If Elders ever need

protection then the Ogres are the ones

to call upon to provide that extra bit of

brute force and muscle!

Weapons/Armour: An Ogre may be

equipped from the Village Ogre

Equipment List.

SPECIAL RULES

Fear: Ogre-kin are large and brutish

creatures that cause Fear.

Large: Ogre-kin are huge, lumbering

creatures and therefor make tempting

targets for archers. Any target may shoot

at an Ogre, even if he is not the closest

model.

Skills: An Ogre-kin who becomes a Hero

may only choose from Combat and

Strength skill-lists.

Slow Witted: Ogre-kin are not the

brightest creatures about. They earn

experience at half-rate.

Protective: The Ogre is content with his

pay and more importantly, his meals. He

will therefor scare off any other Ogre that

may attempt to join the warband. Once a

Village Ogre is purchased, Ogre

Bodyguards will not join the warband,

and should one have been hired prior to

the Village Ogres arrival, he will move on.

ability and he must miss his first attack

(regardless of whether he has only one

attack or not).

Wizened Halfling (leaders only): This

old halfling is greatly respected by the

other members of the warband and they

never question his word. All halflings

may also re-roll any failed leadership

test when within 6´ of the leader as well

as using his leadership for both tests.

Stealthy (Halfling Thieves Only): The

Halfling Thief can hide even after

running, and can run while within 8´ of

enemy models if he starts and ends his

move hidden.

Skilled Huntsman: The halfling has

been hunting things ever since he was

young (the more food he has, the

better!) and has become well adapted to

firing as silently and discreetly as

possible. To represent this a Halfling

may try and fire a ranged weapon and

remain hidden. When shooting from

hiding roll D6. On a 3+ the Halfling has

managed to keep his actions

inconspicuous to the eye of the enemy

and may remain hidden that turn. Note

this skill may not be combined with

black powder weapons, they are just too

noisy!

SPECIAL SKILLS

All Halflings may choose from the

following special skills.

Layers of Fat: The Halfling has gained

mountains of flab during his vast

experience of eating fine foods and his

thick bulk could swallow a sword whole!

The Halfling always has a basic saving

throw of 6 regardless of the enemy

warrior¶s strength and on top of any

armour he already wears.

Quiet as a Mouse: The halfling as

adept at staying as quiet as a mouse

whilst hiding. Enemy warriors must use

half their initiative value in inches

(rounded down) when trying to detect

this hidden halfling.

Shifty: The halfling has long-been

skirting in the shadows, avoiding

unwanted attention. So nimble is he that

he may surprise even those who believe

they've got them dead-to-rights. The

halfling gains a bonus attack when

charged that strikes first .

Crude Belch: Having eaten a meal or

six, this halfling may release a

withering belch to distract his enemies.

During the first round of hand to hand

combat the halfling can release his

noxious fumes upon all enemies within

base contact. All enemies effected must

take a leadership test. If the leadership

test is failed then the putrid odor has

severely affected the warrior¶s fighting
