Childlike Halfling?


Advice

Liberty's Edge

Planning a Halfling built around being *very* Halfling (taking a few of the racial feats) and based around the Childlike feat.

Must haves are Childlike, and Lucky Halfling. Everything else is up for grabs, though at the moment I'm thinking some flavor of Sorcerer might be a good idea.

So, forum, help me kick this concept up a notch, all the way up to one and a Halfling!

Make him a discreet rogue poisoner. Not many people would suspect a mere kid for being responsible for the deaths of the banquet party members.

Even if he is caught or otherwise suspected of poisonings, you can put those awesome bluffing skills (take 10 to appear innocent) to really good use.

Still looking for ideas, but I've concocted a (brief) background and name.

Thad Actor (Halfling)
A rising star of stage playing children with bravado and a unique professionalism not seen in child actors he uses the disguise of performer to carry out the will of Taldor.

Only two things I've positively nailed down are race and faction, though I'm leaning towards sorcerer or bard for class, possibly multi from one to the other. Anything else is up for grabs, though Charisma will be at a minimum of 14.

Ok guys, have at it!

I am kicking around a concept for a childlike halfling Summoner synthasist based on Captain marvel.

Currently thinking of sorc (crossblooded), with some other ultimate broken cheese.


I am a big fan of the Well-Prepared feat from the APG. To me it is quite handy in game, as well as being full of fun flavor for any halfling adventurer. Depending on where you want to go with the character, might I direct your attention to the Taunt, Pass for Human, and Go Unnoticed feats?


A Childlike halfling seems like a perfect Street Performer archetype bard, to me.

They get disappearing act, which lets them distract attention from an ally (temper tantrum anyone?), harmless performance (sanctuary effect; puppy-dog-eyes, poor, innocent youth), madcap prank, and slip through the crowd. All of those are easy to describe in a childlike manner. They also get various street urchin-like bonuses.


I know a lot of people don't like monks, but I'd suggest a monk. Nothing will ruin your "childlike" appearance more than walking around in platemail and carrying a battleaxe.

Monks don't need spellboks, armor, shields, weapons, animal companions, or anything at all. That means you can ALWAYS appear to be "just some kid", and have your opponents' drop their guard, yet you still remain 100% combat effective.

If that doesn't appeal to you, take the Improved Unarmed Strike feat, and go 100% rogue for the sneak attack. No one will suspect a kid is about to put a smackdown on them, and they might just be able to take out an opponent before the opponent even knows he was in danger.

The Exchange

The helpful halfling trait is my favorite. Kids shouldn't be hurting thins anyway. Think of it as ankle biting and shin kicking.


Rogue. Use a weighted teddy bear for a sap. and take up sap adept.


Add in the clumsy slave trait (from halflings of Golarian) and as long as you do non-lethal damage on the first hit, you can attempt to convince others it was an accident! And take a ten on the bluff check to do so if you are childlike!

Full of win!


Cry in battle as a way to gain combat advantage they'll be so confused.
