[QUOTE="hopeless, post: 3109282, member: 36349"] [b]Reg:Halflings[/b] Why rogue? Just because the Hobbit had its halfling hero selected bya wizard to become the thief to a band of former dwarven miners seeking to reclaim their treasure from a dragon they'd ratehr not face themselves? Personally I think it should have been Favoured Class: Any like humans and half elves. Nothing in their background said they were a race of kleptomaniacs just what they decided to shore up the pitiful excuse introduced after the origianl dungeon and dragons where it was merely suggested halflings could become thieves you know where in that age old time where elves were actually fighter/magic users' able to wear armour, dwarves could only be fighters and humans alone could be fighter, rogue, magic user or cleric and unlike the demihumans humans could reach 36th level whilst the other races it was merely an optional extra... When I think of that i remember the movie Willow where the hero's village sent him out with a group of others of whom only Willow and the village mage who looked like a gnome or that tinkerer out of the He Man movie with Dolph Lundgren. Don't you think its about time this was corrected? Elves should have had Sorceror as their favoured class given how attuned they are to magic (as per D&D the movie 1 or Tom Baker plays the tallest elf outside of Tolkien), but that would lead to how they stuffed up the sorceror which could have been perfectly fine had they not decided allowing it to have a d6 hd and 3 charisma based skills would have made the Wizard look hopeless... Sorry getting little off track but I am interested to see what you think and object... [/QUOTE]
