2025 Character Creation Challenge Day 27
You can read more about the challenge here and here.
With hobbit Heroines, the second round of character creation comes to an end. Read more about hobbit abilities in the original Dungeons & Dragons little brown booklets here. Although not explicitly forbidden, I avoided large two-handed weapons and also opted for mules as mounts instead of horses.
