DESCRIPTION

Capable of squeezing into the narrowest spaces and of disappearing entirely into cracks in walls, behind beams and ceiling supports, or even between a target’s legs, the rogue is a viciously efficient killer, willing and able to slide a blade between one’s ribs (to say nothing of other, less comfortable anatomical regions) before her presence is even noticed.

In social situations, the halfling does a great measure of the talking for the group, relying on her winning smile and her ability to lie without conscience to get them through the day. This ability has served her well with the others in her group, who are often (though not as often as she believes) fooled by her lies about why it took longer than expected to disarm a lock or a trap standing in their way—lies constructed to conceal her minor thefts along the way.

Despite being deceptively cute, she makes no effort to use her appearance to her advantage in combat. Instead, she uses her smaller size, her speed, and her incredible agility to locate and eliminate her targets with ruthless efficiency.

It is not that she shies away from killing—quite the opposite—but she finds more challenge and excitement when forced to employ stealth and acrobatics than in simple, boring killing.
