In regards to the Barbarian class, equipment-wise might I suggest a look at Shadversity's view of the scantily clad Barbarian and how to make it realistic and plausible?

If you want I would love to see a Shinobi Hobbit/Half-ling! If you don't want to I may write one up.

My best D&D character was a drunken gnome barbarian. A 4.5 ft greatsword never looked so intimidating than welded by a 3.5 ft crazy drunk. He was originally going to be a halfling, but the gnome traits actually went better with thr build.

My players once had a NPC who was a halfing paladin he was fun, If you want you can feel free to write up your "drunken gnome barbarian"!

Well here's my interpretation of the Shinobi Hobbit/Half-ling. It's pretty bare bones since I'm horribly unfamiliar with the DnD setting.

Hobbit/Half-ling, Shinobi

• 3[0] - “Do Crossbow” (Accurate; Armor Piercing; Effective; Impairing; Ranged. Activation; Ammunition; Elaborate Gestures, Both Hands on Weapon; Weapon)

• +2 - Knowledge (Throwing)
• +1 - Quick

Level - Weakness

• -2 - Awkward Size (Small)
• -3 - Code of Conduct (Will Die Before Revealing Information)

And a quick question that's been bugging me for a little bit now. Since from the various interpretations of the Barrier ability, execution-wise it's less shields like this:

And more shields like this:

So would the actual physical shields be a form of Armored with flaws attached to them to signify that they're not, well, suits of armor or similar, or is it designed as something else?

Barrier can be interpreted as either physical shields or as magic/energy globes. A sword and shield warrior would have levels in Barrier.

Malancthon wrote:Barrier can be interpreted as either physical shields or as magic/energy globes. A sword and shield warrior would have levels in Barrier.

What he said.

Also your half-ling looks good to me!

I guess I could go with that interpretation, though the notation of it allowing a character to block an indefinite amount of damage if one had enough endurance in addition to its default DX of 1 did give me a kind of whiplash.

As for the Half-ling Shinobi, it can easily be used as a placeholder for Goblins. Heck, one could go for Goblin Kouga vs. Half-ling Iga plot hook. Though I can only assume that for Goblins, a +2 of Bizarre Appearance at the very least would be required.

This time we will be covering the Beholder line!

Lets start with the Beholder its self! (Thanks to Malancthon for showing me how add pics to my post!)
