2025 Character Creation Challenge Day 18
You can read more about the challenge here and here.
And we come to last race and class player character combination in the original Dungeons & Dragons little brown booklets: hobbit fighter! I outlined their racial abilities yesterday and won't be repeating them here. Like with dwarves, I opted to go for mules instead of warhorses due to their size.
