[QUOTE="FireLance, post: 5992364, member: 3424"] Eh, halflings have always been good with slings. Their familiarity with daggers and short swords is a more recent development. Contemporary scholars agree that it was likely due to one of the halfling heroes of the last war who, it is said, teamed up with a female human warrior to destroy a powerful, ancient undead creature that supposedly could be defeated by "no man". Although accounts of the battle indicate that it was the woman who struck the final blow, it was the halfling who distracted it at a critical moment by stabbing it with a magical elven knife. That halfling subequently returned to his home village and was instrumental in rallying his fellow villagers to drive out a band of thugs who were exploiting the halflings' normally peaceful and non-combative nature. In the years that followed, many young halflings devoted hours of practice with the dagger and short sword as well as the sling, both in memory of their racial hero, and to ensure that they will be able to defend their villages.
