did you give Neddy a stat increase for lvl 4? i added it to cha. and i think 143lbs is awfully heavy even for a halfling.

You can modify, submit multiple versions, scale the stats, anything your precious heart desires.
The deadline is noon, Monday, October 20, 2003. I will try to check the thread and announce a winner that day in the afternoon or early evening. The prize should be shipped as soon as I get that person's mailing information.

I went with the stats provided, as it did not seem to really matter much and assumed they already had the increase added.
I was guessing on 50 lbs overweight as being pudgy for a halfling.

Sorry about that!
I should have stated that the flexibility level. Since I gave so many details, I guess you took that as a hint to how close the entry should match the information provided. That was a good guess, but sometimes when you're writing/designing NPCs these changes come up, especially in terms of "Geez, this character needs some more Gather Information skill!"

The heaviest male halfling in Thumble is 135 lbs. An average male halfling adult is about 80-85 lbs. I don't think Neddy is seriously above-average weight, but rather just a bit plump. Though he's slightly out of shape since he's gotten older, Neddy should still be agile when he has to. You should just take the original Dexterity score for a halfling like him at his prime and then adjust with the age factoring in the PHB chart.

I cut him down to 100 lbs. and am now satisfied. My entry shall remain fixed from this point on. As fixed as the northern star.
Unless of course I change my mind about something else.
