Halflings

Halflings don't have a great deal of power vis-a-vis other demihumans or even humans. This race uses the same experience tables as do humans. Halflings gain their magic resistance at 9th level and breath weapon resistance at 24th level. All halflings can hide as specified in the DDC. skill (the halfling Thief bonus for hide does apply to this). The halfling racial weapon is the sling.
