[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8348053, member: 6704184"] Crossposting this, hope you don't mind. This reminds me of the halfling I just made a for a new campaign getting started. His name is Jack Barnsfellow, and he is a halfling himbo farmboy teacher. He is from an order of monks that are service-oriented members of the community, who teach halfling childredn to play the games that train them to fight, hide, taunt, trick, trap, build, etc, and are the reason that every adult halfling has some way of helping defend their community. Imagine dodgeball with hacky-sack slings. You'll get good at dodging, and at slinging, while having a great time! The Order of the Otter lives within communities but also spend part of their life travelling, usually as part of a messenger guild (halflings run the postal service) or some other job that takes them from community to community, before eventually settling down. They also run the biannual Games, which are a series of competitions of basiclaly every skill that is favored in their society, from races to riddle games to wrestling to games that are basically capture the flag meets hide and seek and tons of others. Jack is a mail carrier right now who has been a champion of multiple events in the last couple Games. [/QUOTE]
