Racial Abilities
Stout Resilience. You have advantage on saving
throws against poison, and you have resistance
against poison damage.
Lucky. When you roll a 1 on an attack roll, ability
check, or saving throw, you can reroll the die and must
use the new roll.
Brave. You have advantage on saving throws against being frightened. – question for the Dm, Due to my characters background do you perhaps mind if we sit down and agree an opposite to this? I was thinking along the lines of advantage on tumble checks due to his natural preference to run away. Happy to keep it the same though, just seems rather ironic for my cowardly halfing to be brave
Halfling Nimbleness. You can move through the
space of any creature that is of a size larger than yours
Background (I have personalised all of these traits slightly obviously, and some kind of repeat each other? I hope this is ok and enough of a character concept for everyone to work with)
Srutty is a small stout halfing and a native of the low Hills surrounding Homlet. At 23 he’s just about old enough to have vague memories of the temples last uprising and has been brought up on the rumours that the wars stole much more than just his innocence. The orphanage where Scrutty spent his very early years (2-8) always told Scrutty that his father was a human who died in some skirmish shortly before the fabled battle at the meadows. It is a well-known town rumour that the grief of the experience and the negative opinion of the halfing community is what lead his mother to follow her lover on the swans path and take her own life.
This early heartache left Scrutty to fend for him self in life, by 8 he had grown tired of the orphanage and the constant reminder of what he deemed his parents failure. Surving due to his natural ability to climb and survive of the land of the low hills Scrutty has calved out a life as a Urchin and wannabe Thief. Recently however he took one step to far and was caught attempting to pilfer a Holy chalice of the Saint Yondalla from the near by church, fearing prosecution he abandoned the relic and has fled for homlet seeking his fortune and perhaps the truth of what happened to his family all does years ago.
Chip on His Shoulder – Scrutty has never been popular and has a habit of forming an instant dislike to anyone he deems so
Small is Better! Why? Because a small person said so! – Being his only real friend Scrutty has fashioned a rather high opinion of himself and can quite often ,even when provided with evidence supporting the opposite, will refuse to change his mind or point of view.
A Friend Made is Never Betrayed – For all his faults and bluster Scrutty is fiercely attached and Loyal to the urchins of the low Hills and any he adventures with.
Money Money Money, Must be funny – Scrutty is quite a money hungry type, not for any love of gold or fine foods but more for the social status it brings. Does with gold have always proven popular in Scruttys Experience.
I don’t want to be seen or heard – Scrutty no matter how loyal, is also a coward and prefers a back seat in life. He may crave the popularity he was denied as a child but if ever confronted with it hed probably find the quickest exit out of town and not be seen again. The idea of direct confrontation with an orc horde Isn’t his cup a tea, his idea of adventure is more the exploration of ancient long lost tombs or exploring the innards of the mayors town house.
