    [​IMG] When brave Donaldus, my halfling cavalier, collected the loot in Irenicus` Dungeon he found out, to his big surprise, that he in fact is able to use a ranged weapon - the sling. He rejected the suggestion that this probably is because he´s a halfling...


    (As for archers - they can´t get grandmastery in slings (but be specialised?!): What an option - a halfling archer named David, specialised in slings ;) )

    O.k. A halfling cavalier. Hmmm. Isn't the cavalier a paladin kit. And isn't paladins restricted to humans? Did anybody say shadowkeeper? :)

    [​IMG] Full of desire to do good and to help free Faerun from evil of any kind (especially from demons and dragons), Donaldus will join the Order of the Radiant Heart soon.

    And he is the founder of the honourable society of halfling paladins - the spearhead of the movement of halfling equality rights.

    A halfling melee character is great: When he´s and fighting minsc is second row, Minsc can attack enemies with his two-handed sword over Donaldus´ head :D

    The honourable society of halfling paladins? Sounds better than the Dwarrven Rrevolushionarry (can only be mentioned drunk) Frront. Maybe these organisations could form an alliance demanding fair and equitable treatment for vertically challenged members of society - and our other demands
    - Real dwarven ale in all taverns
    - compulsory pointy hats for magic users
    - Surrender of dwarven artifacts held by the drow
    - um
    -that's it

    Ironbeard, don't forget the demand to be able to demand more demands when we feel like it.

    Elves, just keep sayin' that when the revolution comes and yer little world goes up in flames. More demands
    -Dwarven sections in taverns with metal furniture at sensible heights
    -Rollercoasters etc. to be designed with the safety and enjoyment of the vertically challenged in mind
    Solidarity, my brothers in restricted growth!The dawning of a new era may not be too far off!

    Caleb, humility is an essential character trait if yer bein' oppressed by the longlimbs. Elves an' halforcs can generally kick arse better than I can, so I be needin' all the allies I can find for my revolution. Besides, his aura of powergaming and high charisma will prove invaluable to the revolution. Solidarity, all ye of little height. Join the crusaders for the little man!

    [​IMG] Actually, Ragusa can do whatever he wants, it's not like I was trying to stop him, or COULD ;) Paladins aren't that bad, but I hate halfling BARDS. So if he wants to make a halfling pally, let him, right? maybe Donaldus'll change the system or something. I'm keeping an open mind :p

    Halflings, Gnomes and sometimes even Elfs...
    (I'm running like hell now, because a whole horde of angry elvenlovers is after me... ;))
