When I played S&W White Box a few years back I made halflings default class ranger, which was really just a sneaky fighter--none of the AD&D/Aragorn trappings. Saddling them in heavy armor and weapons seemed like such a waste of their native talents.Timrod https://www.blogger.com/profile/15308269015770538709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046247285022763255.post-35396988794108462062014-06-12T14:53:39.349-07:002014-06-12T14:53:39.349-07:00The timing on this post was perfect.

Trotter was so foreign to me. Now that you put it in perspective, minus the wooden shoes, Trotter would have fit into the basic story rather well.
