WB Halflings

Halfling Gifts

Stone's Tosser

Many halflings that grow up in Menon (or one of the many islands in the Triumvirate), have been training in slings and throwing weapons, even if only throwing stones as kids. Every fair or party, has at least some throwing games with prizes, and the competitions can become very heated. This is encouraged by the Menonese nobles as it creates a steady supply of trained skirmishers and makes every sailor a dangerous opponent at sea, and they will heartily sponsor regular competitions in their fiefdom.

Halflings with this gift are famed for their prowess with slings and thrown weapons. You have the following features:

Ranged Combatant You are proficient in darts, slings, sling-staff, and throwing daggers. You are also proficient in throwing rocks and similar improvised thrown weapons. When using one of these weapons, you inflict 1d6 damage instead of 1d4 damage, and you may choose to use either your Strength or Dexterity modifier when rolling for attack or damage.

In addition, both the short and long range of these weapons increases by 10 feet when you wield them.

At 5th level, your attacks with darts, slings, staff-slings, throwing daggers, and thrown rocks count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.
