[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 8818172, member: 63508"] A friend ran a halfling Starlock/rogue in 4e that quests the world to see every kind of eye. His patron was a mysterious pair of eyes who wished to find a new form. So he went around merrily drawing pictures of eyes in his sketchbook and presenting them to his patron. Anyone killed with his curse would have their eyes harden to marbles and added to his Jar of Eyes. And he'd carry that creepy jar everywhere while smiling and joking. But it was his "precious" jar of eyes. Then he got a robe of eyes. So he had 3 "precious" items. One of my world uses generic personifications as gods (Sky Father, Father Time, New Year's Baby, Mother Earth, Mother Nature, Mistress of the Sea). Basically Mother Earth, Mother Nature, and the Fairy Queen crafted Halflings to tend the land. Lady Luck and the Mistress of the Sea were not invited. So they plotted to wait to when the other goddesses stopped looking. The cursed Halflings with bad luck and fear of the water. Halflings realizing they never venerated these too goddesses, threw them a celebration. Happy with their own holy days in the Halfling Religion, Lady Luck and Mistress Sea reversed their curses. This made Halflings the best farmers and gatherers and most other races invited them in. But because of their curses, they became bad luck in large groups. So no halfling cities nor kingdoms lasted over a decade. [/QUOTE]
