larger DM's booklet,these pages willconcentrate on information role-playingD&D®game players will need to bring ahalfling player character to life.  \nThe existing nules of the DUNGEONS&DRAGONS③game cover the mechan-ics of creating a halfling player character.Follow them;except for a special subclassknown as the Master,this booklet makesno changes to the existing rules.Instead,the culture and essential nature of half-lings are explored.  \nFor players who don't want to play ahalfling character but do want to adven-ture in The Five Shires,your DM will tellyou how hin treat non-hin(halflings callthemselves hin).If your non-halflingcharacter is going to begin play in theShires,if he was born or raised there orhas lived there for some years,read therest of the book.Unless your character hassome problem in perceiving the world orhas lived a life of enforced isolation,mostor all the information in the other sec-tions of the book will have become appar-ent to your character just by living in theShires.  \nHalflings who live or travel outside theShires may not be able to celebrate all thecustoms of hin in the Shires,but all whoplay halflings should be aware of thesecustoms;they are essentials to the natureof all halflings.As your DM reveals thesecustoms,look for the philosophies thatlie behind them.For example,the half-ling custom of The Dragging isn't reallyabout killing orcs,but about the desire tobe free from oppression and help one'sfriends.  \nFirst ","cbCaifEo1QSOuvkM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifEo1QSOuvkM","pdf",7246792,101,"English","# Introduction\n## The
