Hobbits

General Information

Insert some intro text here. At this point, I'm just going to include game statistics for "known" races. I'll refine stuff and make it pretty later.

Hobbits are often divided into numerous "sub-races" but for game terms, what is valid for one type of hobbit is just as valid for the others. To reflect the racial diversity of hobbits, however, hobbits are allowed to select one ability from the list below to reflect talents and exposures of the hobbit's "sub-race".
