The Arcane Trickster is an Organizational Class meaning that taking a level of Arcane Trickster on this server indicates that the character is a member of an organization. The organization in this case is going to be a small, tight-knit group of halflings that live in a hidden place in the mountains.

 

Characters that take levels of this class without specific approval will not be recognized as a Halfling Trickster but they could be a member of another organization. This is what allows a flexible model for players who want to take levels of Arcane Trickster without DM/Halfling approval and intervention.

History of the Halfling Trickster

According to the History of the Known World, nearly everything was lost in the fall. Halflings barely survived and it was only due to the way they cherish their privacy. The Halfling village is very hard to find, but it is in an area with an abundance of resources that if managed properly will last forever.

Lost, along with most of their race was the halfling magic. Halflings had an ability for the Arcane Arts, but none of it really survived the fall. Halflings are still very smart and they still learn, but in new ways.

Halflings have learned to steal magic from others. This represents the difference between Book Smarts and Street Smarts when it comes to magic.
