Hear me out, party of a bunch of halflings and one jinx where the forces of luck don't cancel out, but are constantly battling with each other. A jinx trips on a root he didn't see, then falls onto a bed of moss to cushion the fall, the bed of moss was poisonous and irritates his skin, they find a plant that helps with the irritation soon after... All fear this party because it's like a luck war is happening around them at all times
Eberron has both dinosaur riding halflings in the form of the Talenta tribes and a got-dang halfling mafia in the form of the Boromar Clan, once again showing why Eberron is the best D&D setting
Yeah, Talenta Halflings are no fucking joke. Same with Valenar Elves, those cold-blooded fuckers. That's how you make "boring" races awesome. Eberron rules.
My last character was a halfling barbarian; it was both hilarious and kind of effective with a long sword used in both hands. I would hide behind our other barbarian for the "halfling barbarian surprise".
Calling them halflings (also renaming balrogs to balors and ents to treants) was *TSR’s* way to work around the copyright, not WotC. Remember, D&D only became WotC’s starting with 3e.
This is a really cool idea! I've also seen an amazing reimagining of the Halflings by an artist called Sigishi. Their version of Halflings have this neat imprinting ability, where if they spend a significant amount of time around other species that they share interests with (for example a Halfling who likes blacksmithing spending time around dwarves) their appearance slightly changes to mimic that species. So a Dwarven Halfling would be shorter, thicker and usually have facial hair, while an Elven Halfling would be taller, slimmer and have pointed ears.
Not gonna lie, the concept of the Jinx is genius. Imagine having a Halfling and a Jinx in the same adventuring party and letting their respective luck and personalities bounce off one another. That would make for interesting role play.
@@LupineShadowOmega Give the Jinx high wisdom, prof/expertise in perception and the lucky feat and you have someone who's an expert at navigating their own chaos while everyone else drowns in it.
All of you are halflings and one of you is a jinx but you’re all very pasty and tired so no one can tell which one is the jinx. That’s it that’s the campaign
I always liked the idea of playing up the halfling green thumb to make their shires as a natural breadbasket for the world- which also makes them fit well with larger races that would have trouble developing agriculture like centaurs. Basically a symbiotic relationship like some species of spider and tree frog. Which still fits with their chill vibes.
And now i have an image of a farm town thats just halflings and centaurs where the centaurs do all the work that horses normally would. No idea how to fit this into a campaign, probably as a PC's origins or an early stop you need to defend from something for a level 3 adventure.
That Doraemon intro bit hit me in the nostalgia real hard, being the Spanish version and all. And i LOVE the idea of these down on their luck hobbits without plot armor.
@@Tummy92 It says 'ojalá mis sueños', which means 'I wish my dreams' and then the song would continue and say '...could become reality.' But yeah, It does sound like 'po-orca miseri-a'

I'm sure it's already been said but I adore your use of b-roll from the movie, "Willow". Underrated and forgotten movie and I love seeing any reference to it out in the virtuwilds.
I think the better way to do the Kender's light-fingeredness narratively rather than a rule. So when a player goes for an item, the DM can say "[Kender] hands it to you".
Or just have the players do it narratively. Player: "I need [item crucial to core functioning of my character], I kill the kender and take it back from their corpse". DM: "It's a fair cop" As a DM my NPCs would just kill kenders on sight. As a player I wouldn't even play at the same table as someone with a kender. I wouldn't try to persuade them to not play a kender, I would just thank everyone else for their time (as I pack up my items) and leave, and never play _anything_ with that person ever again. It's like 'that guy' who wants to play the broody edge-lord chaotic neutral who betrays the party "because that's what my character would do" ... only exponentially much worse.
@@rickcarson591 You rolled to see if your kender lost the item. Kender never steal stuff to keep it. It was harder for them to lose magic items but not impossible.
I turned it into a feature, saying that once until a long rest a kender can produce an item 1 gp or less value. Then make it clear this is from finding things in various different places and not steal from other players. That also encourages less toxic behavior as I'm already guiding them away from other players. Who doesn't like some good insult humor when they're not the target? Does surprisingly well in avoiding the worst parts of kender.
Wow I could never have guessed that it was going to be free! Thank you so much. I love your content its so amazing and the fact that most of it is free makes it so much better!
Meanwhile in Eberron, halflings are animists that worship spirits, have tribal masks, and ride dinos. Yes, they get to ride raptors. I really like this. While the more urban/standard dnd halflings are also the type that House Ghallanda and House Jorasco. House Ghallanda handles the hospitality bussiness while House Jorasco handles healing, and both are essentially megacorps. Jorasco gives me vibes of Trauma Team from Cyberpunk. I like these takes on halfling and make them more fun to me anyways.
Yep. Not all versions of halflings are the standard, boring diet-hobbits. Eberron has great halflings. And Dark Sun halflings are great too. They're the original race that predates every other humanoid species on Athas, but magical climate change has forced them to live in jungles. They also practice cannibalism of other species (kind of similar to the Green Pact Bosmer from the Elder Scrolls).
I really think some people need to step beyond Forgotten Relams sometimes. Eberron & Darksun halflings are awesome and... wait what's this over in Dragonlance that was FINALLY MADE OFFICIAL after all these years? We now have playable Kender! That's right, our loveable race of wanderlust feeling, adventure seeking accidental theives to thier curiosity who will probably be banned at every table now (I've relyed on the old Kendermore websites home brew for mine for years and it didn't take long for some DMs to ban them even then)
@@meikahidenori I'm not much of a fan of Dragonlance (I think the world's races are generally just worse versions of Middle Earth races, with few exceptions, and the moral of the settings' "balance between evil and good" feels a bit like r/ENLIGHTENEDCENTRISM), but I definitely agree that more people need to check out Eberron and Dark Sun. Eberron's a world building masterpiece where almost everything is nuanced and well-designed, and Dark Sun's messages about fascism, climate change, and xenophobia are even more relevant today than they were when the setting was released.
In my dnd I made halflings, Dwarves, goblins & gnomes to be in the same family tree but come from a different culture like: Dwarves are halfling-vikings, goblins are the corrupted-halflings & gnomes are the urban-halflings. So if you meet an dwarf as an halfling they can speak eachother as far away cousins, I think it's very fun for world building.
I've been trying to make the races in my worlds make better sense forever. This actually works so well, thank you for sharing this 'cause I think this is the way I'm going to run things going forward.
Thank you for the feedback that the idea is a good concept, I got many other ideas like this in my own dnd universes that I would like to share but have no idea how to do it, so if there’s someone that can assist me that can expand these ideas I appreciate the feedback cuz I have been making stories like this for a few years now but never had the change to put it in play, for those interested I got an project of an universe with the dnd rules in an sci-fi apocalyptic universe highly inspired from Borderlands 3, Wasteland 3 & tiny bit of Titanfall 2 :)
@@Beastbrush I did a homebrew-heavy campaign set in a wasteland that had fallout vibes with an 80's aesthetic. I might still have some tables for random encounters and stuff lying around, as well as my rules for firearms and vehicles.
@@ClasticOne I had the same concept but it was more a mutation, in my story there are races who found the last giants resting place in the north where they use the giant blood to mutate themselves, humans become ogres, halflings become dwarves & elves become Firbolg. Those who experiment with the blood will mutate themselves even more becoming big strong dumb monsters like trolls.
"They thought you would go to the castle first and now you guys want to get shots" made me snort. I enjoyed it for more then I should. Thank you so much for the much joy this brought me.
This video inspired me to re-examine my setting's halfling lore, and I came up with their luck originates from their ancestors, normal cottagecore non-Hobbits, slew a dragon that invaded their homeland and devoured it in a grand feast. Dragon's blood is powerful, and over the millennia that potent power remains as simple good luck.
I think another interesting way to tackle halflings is to take the idea that “they like living comfortably” and making it “they can make anywhere comfortable”. Perhaps halflings have an aptitude (whether magical or natural) to easily survive and even thrive in even the harshest terrain. For instance, let’s say there is a halfling subrace known as the “Cavehome Halfling”. Maybe they have abilities such as a 10ft blindsight as long as they can hear or smell, resistance to poison and advantage on checks against poison and disease, advantage or bonus on perception checks based on hearing or smell, or even advantage on checks to avoid or escape cave related traps or hazards (such as cave-ins or pockets of poisonous gas). This also could lead to the interesting scenario of a group of adventurers exploring a supposedly dangerous cave system in the Underdark, only to find a relatively quaint halfling village in the middle of it.
It wasn’t WOTC it was TSR/Gygax Era that they were originally gonna call them Hobbits until Tolkien Family and familiar groups said nah so we have halflings
How have I never thought of describing Halfling luck as something that happens in game? I always used it mechanically only. Boy, have I been missing out. I loved the example of the halfling alerting the guard, but a cat runs by. Thanks for that.
Having binged ALL your videos in the past two weeks on my way to my job, I can say you are the best RPG channel that there is! Your jokes are funny, your opinions are diverse and goddammit you give us new stuff WITH ART every single video! Keep it up Antonio
Ah yeah I second this. I haven't played DnD for at least a couple of decades now so I have no idea how this ended up in my feed. But the nostalgia, commentary, humor, and ingenuity of this channel keeps me coming back. I liked this one in particular. Very fun. Also "halflings are Hobbits with the serial numbers filed off" lmao Oh one thing - check out the dwarf/gnome/halfling situation on classic Everquest. They managed to make them be and feel entirely distinct.
I've always wanted to create a system or ability where luck is essentially borrowed. A halfling saving their luck for when they need it, may experience several petty instances of unluckiness. While another who abuses their luck, will have to pay it back in the worst possible way. (Potentially with fatal consequences. )
This is so cool!! Halflings have been my favorite race, and this fits perfectly with my halfling Aberrant Mind Sorcerer. His life is filled with a series of very unfortunate events and I always themed his halfling luck as, like you said, a balance for all the other halflings out there, or the best possible outcome of a completely terrible event. I will be incorporating the Jinx Halfling into my world, and I sent this video to my D&D group for them to check out.
When I read that halflings were extremely cagey about teaching non halflings their language, to the point that I think there are probably more non rogues that know thieves cant than non halflings that know halfling. So I took that and used it to put a secret halfling organization bent on world conquest by various means in my world. Every player I've had play a halfling got a private note basically saying "this is the specific plan your local faction is up to. You can try to further, impede, or ignore those plans, but you cannot reveal it to any other players or NPCs"
Actually you got most of those bad luck superstitions on point, the only one I don’t know of is whistling at night, I’m Australian so I feel like I can say this with confidence
@@human-tk2fo in this case, 'Evil Spirits' is 'horrible misfortune because you did something dumb'. and yeah, whistling at night calls to mind WW1 propaganda about cigarettes and how the third cigarette would kill you because the first catches a sniper's eye, the second lets him home in on you, and the third he squeezes the trigger. other than that, whistling at night was probably done by people signalling ne'er do wells or people about to get mugged. though I will give you the Black Cat, that was entirely because people thought they were familiars for Witches. most of the rest are 'silly thing to do' like walking under a ladder ([censored], I dropped a hammer/paint bucket) or opening an umbrella indoors. I think Seven Years bad luck might've had to do with salaries and how expensive mirrors were.
Wow!! I just found your channel a few days ago, and have binge watched every single one of your videos in order. I am so glad that with the latest news you'll be able to continue what you do!! Thank you for everything you make- I have been so inspired by your content. I am dreaming up future PCs while also finally feeling like I have an idea for my first experience DMing. Gracie's backstory made me cry, and your dancing bard made me actually consider making a bard character! What you're doing is ridiculously generous and kind of hard to believe, so, thank you again!
A much simpler ability for a Jinx could be: Shared Misfortune If the Jinx rolls a 1 on an ability check, attack roll, or saving throw, it can force the result of another creature's roll to also result in a 1, so long as the creature is within 30 feet of the Jinx when the roll is made and the affected roll is made within 1 minute of the Jinx's roll. The affected check must be of the same kind the Jinx was attempting.
I had all the problems with halflings you did, and this is EXACTLY what halflings needed. I never even had an inkling that bad luck was the way to take things! But it makes so much sense and adds some very sourly needed flavour, lore and a hint of culture to these milque toast 3rd/4th best short kings
"Hufflepuff coded" I am simply amazed not only because that this is a very specific descriptor i never thought to ever be uttered, but also that i instantly knew what it means and at the sheer vividness at which its imagery assulted my mind as hearing it evoked much of the imagry you showed as well.
OMG what a surprise you wrote all we need for playing this subrace! Really, it is probably the coolest one you've done yet (and the bar was really high, especially after the tiefling one imo). Thanks for all that and congrats on this amazing channel!
It's truly beautiful seeing what someone can create with enough passion, even though I probably will never play D&D, it warms my heart. Also, why are u so sassy? I love it. Keep up the awesome content. Love from Brazil
You are Genuinley my favorite dnd creator. Every time I see you posted again, my day ALWAYS gets better. I’m like “I can’t wait to get food and watch your video”! So thank you ❤
Ive never really cared to run a halfling before watching this. I am now currently throwing together a character idea just in case my DM allows this. 100000000000% gold 🥇. I love this keep doing what you're doing man. I will continue to watch your vids for DnD inspiration.
I think the Jinx looks really cool! I think a really awesome way to take the load off the DM for the Jinx would be to make it the opposite of halfling luck but with a little twist. A d4 subtraction to both the Jinx's next roll and the targeted creature's roll as a reaction. You can also do it without personal penalty a number of times equal to your PB per long rest. ☺️
This was an amazing video, but the end of the video with the jinx was even better. I know this is gonna sound cheesy, but I actually came up with a character like this and been using him. I did not get the wonderful traits that you had but I had the inverse of the luck feature. I also did not have a cool enough name like jinx. Very well done.
In older editions the halflings had a special sling that was considered a halfling weapon specifically. They had a special skill for rock throwing, like how Merri and Pippin are always throwing rocks. They even had a special rock that they threw or used in the sling called skiprocks. That will bounce from one enemy to another but only once or twice. They even had a specialized mount, the climb dog. It had bite and claw attacks. It had a climb speed and could climb with the halfling riding it. In prior editions Kender were a typed of halfling. All Kender also had almost like a bolero of pockets that they wore. Each pocket was like a tiny bag of holding. They were kleptomaniacs and had a special ability that if you needed something the player could roll a percentage roll, I think it was like 25%, to be able to reach in their pockets and actually pull out the perfect item. They also had no concept of value. They may pass over a bag of hold in exchange for a marble that refracts light into a prism. Because they’re more interesting. I found old editions pretty fun.
@@timalice-2833 It's a percentage roll to see if a kender character holds on to an item. Things like obvious value or known magical powers make it more likely. But over time I think a kender would eventually roll and lose it. Then it doesn't matter if you thief-shake your kender upside down.
While a jinx's life is unlucky there might be a moment where fate does an "explosive spin" and allows you to "go beyond" the calamities. If you walk the path of justice and resolve, that is.
Fun fact; TSR's first attempt at D&D had Hobbits in it. After a cease and desist from the Tolkien Estate, they made all later iterations into Halflings.
Amazing content as always. Love the Jinx take on the hobbitses. Reminds me of a thief subclass I was trying to iron out called The Black Cat. It was supposed to codify critical fumble tables, and as you advanced, enemies would crit fail on higher numbers.
oh the jinx subrace is SUCH a cool idea, i love this! im so surprsied you actually made it for us, for free, wow.... also one thing i like that a lot of fan artists do, in much the same way that everyone just decided teiflings are purple, is when they give Halflings long floppy ears and a tail that ends in a poof like donkeys, just to make the more visualy distinct from gnomes lol
Oh wow a financially successful youtuber gave out a D&D subrace for FREEEE! Meanwhipe starving game designers release their entire 40 year lore and 30 year game system for free and 3 ppl see it. lol like of course he released it for free. Who tf would pay for a single halfling subrace?
Hufflepuff coded.... short... big eyes .. vibes as a religion... too lucky for his own good Thanks for confirming my suspicions. One of my oldest friends might just be...
Damn, that’s incredible that you give us something for free! I never expected it! In all seriousness, this looks really fun to use. Thank you for this and for the creative take on the halflings. Now I can see the difference between them and gnomes! (Even if dwarves are just superior in every way. If I have to be of pint size, I may as well be able to strike back and bearhug goliaths into submission)
A few subraces not mentioned but still officially 5e: Lotusden Halfling from Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount(Critical Role setting book) Mark of Healing and Mark of Hospitality Halflings from Eberron. All three give you spells and flavor abilities, with the Eberron ones also having additional spell lists for casters. Currently playing a Mark of Healing Necromancer. Definitely a fun role play and mechanics character.
I loved the Kender in Dragonlance. I think I would feel differently, however, if it wasn't clear that they have very short life spans on average simply because they keep getting themselves killed. If they could all luck their way through consequences, I don't think I'd like them as much.
Idk if you've done a video about it, but you should do a video about Gnomes next. I've been trying to find ways to change Gnomes and Halflings in my campaigns in order to keep both races without so much physical and cultural overlap. And your videos have been helping me with such changes, especially the character sheets you make for us to use.
Honestly I love Halflings but it is 100% because I love Hobbits. This subface looks really fun, I hope I can use it sometime in the future. The interactions between Jinxs and other Halflings would be interesting.
Great content, watched most of your videos in 2 days, love it, very unique content and point of view. And actually saying what you think even though people won't like it, good for you. Keep it up 👍
Only quibble I have is that TSR, D&D's original owners, was the one who skirted around the Tolkien Estate with the name change. Wizards of the Coast didn't come into the picture until TSR collapsed and was bought up by them in 1997, which is when 3rd Edition began development. The rest is a great video, as always!

I CONSTANTLY get gnomes and hobbits mixed up with each other. It's only in pathfinder where I didn't have this issues because that setting leans much more into the fey-side of gnomes with them having weird colourful hair. I really like the idea of your jinxes sort of being forced to be optimistic in the face of their cosmic bad luck. I imagine stoic or absurdist philosophies being very popular among them. You might even get collectives of bitter jinxes who cause trouble simply because they envy the other people of the world.
I listen to your videos on the way to work in the morning and sometimes even on the way home after work and I find myself laughing out loud, at your commentary and jokes the halflings with their serial number scratched off was hilarious!
I'm hurt you didn't mention Athasian halflings. Halflings of Dark Sun are *_very much_* not boring. Although, they'd be just as eager to have you for a dinner.
I played an Athasian Halfling in the very last D&D game I played. It was awesome being a violent little cannibal that was sticking with my companions because they were good meatshields.
For a great example of a character with ingrained bad luck, look up Eizen from Tales of Berseria. He also has permanent bad luck. He always carries around a coin that ALWAYS comes up tails. The party ends up in trouble multiple times through bad luck and he fights only with fists because "oh I cant hold weapons. They always break. The only thing I can rely on is myself"
Had to pause to comment. Realizing how I really appreciated reading about Halfings in Pathfinder Golarion lore. They have a history of enslavement that resulted in the sneaky abilities, and more magical luck and such. There’s regional things that add a lot to it! Versus 5e just “hobbits renamed”. Love this video btw!
as a brazilian with a lot of spanish and american influence, i got the bad luck references at the end. Hora de usar um onda de azar num dragão. I'm glad you can still keep giving content, thanks a lot mister floating hat of unimaginable power
I´m late but i have to say THANK YOU not only for yet another great video full of wonderful content, but also for saying that halflings and gnomes are too darn similar, people always look at me like I´m crazy when I say it. As a matter of fact, in two of my homebrew settings I took out one or the other while sort of fusing them in some elements, and if it´s more small races with more personality people want, there´s always Goblins! Also, love both the art and concept of the Jinx and the possibilities they open, phenomenal work as always Antonio ^ ^
A friend of mine who works in the industry has said that companies arent confused about how halflings and gnomes should look, they just cant get artists to follow directions
In reguards to gnomes vs halflings, I generally see it like Gnomes are to Halflings what Elves are to Humans. The more inately magical, nature appreciating, weird one.
OMG!!! You made and drew this little guy just for us! He's so sad, just a little guy >.< what a cute surprise. Who could have guessed. THANK YOU!!! (as always I love the art and effort, Thank you!)

Sounds similar to half giants in the Dark Sun setting. Except theirs is more cosplay.
I like it a lot
That is almost exactly like an idea I had for Gnomes to make them more unique lol
Not gonna lie, the concept of the Jinx is genius.
Imagine having a Halfling and a Jinx in the same adventuring party and letting their respective luck and personalities bounce off one another. That would make for interesting role play.
Or just be a Jinx Wild Magic Sorcerer. What is reality really? Good luck, bad luck, it matters less if everything is chaos. XD

What does the song say in the clip? 'Cause I'm italian and I'm hearing "porca la miseria" ?_? which is effin' funny
@@Tummy92 It says 'ojalá mis sueños', which means 'I wish my dreams' and then the song would continue and say '...could become reality.' But yeah, It does sound like 'po-orca miseri-a'
@@Tummy92 it says "Ojalá mis sueños..." (it continues "se hicieran realidad). Translation: I wish my dreams... (would come true). I'm so sorry it's not porca la miseria
Imagine a Jinx rogue
I really did not expect the spanish version at all
I'm sure it's already been said but I adore your use of b-roll from the movie, "Willow". Underrated and forgotten movie and I love seeing any reference to it out in the virtuwilds.
I think the better way to do the Kender's light-fingeredness narratively rather than a rule. So when a player goes for an item, the DM can say "[Kender] hands it to you".
Or just have the players do it narratively. Player: "I need [item crucial to core functioning of my character], I kill the kender and take it back from their corpse". DM: "It's a fair cop"
As a DM my NPCs would just kill kenders on sight. As a player I wouldn't even play at the same table as someone with a kender. I wouldn't try to persuade them to not play a kender, I would just thank everyone else for their time (as I pack up my items) and leave, and never play _anything_ with that person ever again.
It's like 'that guy' who wants to play the broody edge-lord chaotic neutral who betrays the party "because that's what my character would do" ... only exponentially much worse.
@@rickcarson591 You rolled to see if your kender lost the item. Kender never steal stuff to keep it. It was harder for them to lose magic items but not impossible.
I turned it into a feature, saying that once until a long rest a kender can produce an item 1 gp or less value. Then make it clear this is from finding things in various different places and not steal from other players. That also encourages less toxic behavior as I'm already guiding them away from other players. Who doesn't like some good insult humor when they're not the target? Does surprisingly well in avoiding the worst parts of kender.
Wow I could never have guessed that it was going to be free! Thank you so much. I love your content its so amazing and the fact that most of it is free makes it so much better!
Ikr? I did not see such generosity coming! A totally awesome surprise :3
Meanwhile in Eberron, halflings are animists that worship spirits, have tribal masks, and ride dinos. Yes, they get to ride raptors. I really like this. While the more urban/standard dnd halflings are also the type that House Ghallanda and House Jorasco. House Ghallanda handles the hospitality bussiness while House Jorasco handles healing, and both are essentially megacorps. Jorasco gives me vibes of Trauma Team from Cyberpunk. I like these takes on halfling and make them more fun to me anyways.
You forgot the other Halfling power group in Khorvaire: Clan Boromar aka the Halfling Mafia
Yep. Not all versions of halflings are the standard, boring diet-hobbits. Eberron has great halflings. And Dark Sun halflings are great too. They're the original race that predates every other humanoid species on Athas, but magical climate change has forced them to live in jungles. They also practice cannibalism of other species (kind of similar to the Green Pact Bosmer from the Elder Scrolls).
I really think some people need to step beyond Forgotten Relams sometimes. Eberron & Darksun halflings are awesome and... wait what's this over in Dragonlance that was FINALLY MADE OFFICIAL after all these years? We now have playable Kender! That's right, our loveable race of wanderlust feeling, adventure seeking accidental theives to thier curiosity who will probably be banned at every table now (I've relyed on the old Kendermore websites home brew for mine for years and it didn't take long for some DMs to ban them even then)
@@meikahidenori I'm not much of a fan of Dragonlance (I think the world's races are generally just worse versions of Middle Earth races, with few exceptions, and the moral of the settings' "balance between evil and good" feels a bit like r/ENLIGHTENEDCENTRISM), but I definitely agree that more people need to check out Eberron and Dark Sun. Eberron's a world building masterpiece where almost everything is nuanced and well-designed, and Dark Sun's messages about fascism, climate change, and xenophobia are even more relevant today than they were when the setting was released.
Meanwhile, in Athas, halflings are feral cannibal tribes living in the last remaining woodlands.
In my dnd I made halflings, Dwarves, goblins & gnomes to be in the same family tree but come from a different culture like: Dwarves are halfling-vikings, goblins are the corrupted-halflings & gnomes are the urban-halflings. So if you meet an dwarf as an halfling they can speak eachother as far away cousins, I think it's very fun for world building.
I've been trying to make the races in my worlds make better sense forever. This actually works so well, thank you for sharing this 'cause I think this is the way I'm going to run things going forward.
Thank you for the feedback that the idea is a good concept, I got many other ideas like this in my own dnd universes that I would like to share but have no idea how to do it, so if there’s someone that can assist me that can expand these ideas I appreciate the feedback cuz I have been making stories like this for a few years now but never had the change to put it in play, for those interested I got an project of an universe with the dnd rules in an sci-fi apocalyptic universe highly inspired from Borderlands 3, Wasteland 3 & tiny bit of Titanfall 2 :)
@@Beastbrush I did a homebrew-heavy campaign set in a wasteland that had fallout vibes with an 80's aesthetic. I might still have some tables for random encounters and stuff lying around, as well as my rules for firearms and vehicles.
I've had a vague idea of making all the races that are just "different sized human" related to giants.
@@ClasticOne I had the same concept but it was more a mutation, in my story there are races who found the last giants resting place in the north where they use the giant blood to mutate themselves, humans become ogres, halflings become dwarves & elves become Firbolg. Those who experiment with the blood will mutate themselves even more becoming big strong dumb monsters like trolls.
"They thought you would go to the castle first and now you guys want to get shots" made me snort. I enjoyed it for more then I should. Thank you so much for the much joy this brought me.
Wow you posted this for free!! That’s awesome, I was just jamming on the video, I had no idea I’d get a gift! Thanks!
This video inspired me to re-examine my setting's halfling lore, and I came up with their luck originates from their ancestors, normal cottagecore non-Hobbits, slew a dragon that invaded their homeland and devoured it in a grand feast. Dragon's blood is powerful, and over the millennia that potent power remains as simple good luck.
That's.... cool... So ALL halflings have dragon ancestry?
I think another interesting way to tackle halflings is to take the idea that “they like living comfortably” and making it “they can make anywhere comfortable”. Perhaps halflings have an aptitude (whether magical or natural) to easily survive and even thrive in even the harshest terrain. For instance, let’s say there is a halfling subrace known as the “Cavehome Halfling”. Maybe they have abilities such as a 10ft blindsight as long as they can hear or smell, resistance to poison and advantage on checks against poison and disease, advantage or bonus on perception checks based on hearing or smell, or even advantage on checks to avoid or escape cave related traps or hazards (such as cave-ins or pockets of poisonous gas). This also could lead to the interesting scenario of a group of adventurers exploring a supposedly dangerous cave system in the Underdark, only to find a relatively quaint halfling village in the middle of it.
I legit got excited when I saw a new Pointy Hat video, keep up the good work you are doing!
kender are just kleptomaniacs with adhd and a chihuahua complex and i love the energy that they've created in the studio today
It wasn’t WOTC it was TSR/Gygax Era that they were originally gonna call them Hobbits until Tolkien Family and familiar groups said nah so we have halflings
How have I never thought of describing Halfling luck as something that happens in game? I always used it mechanically only. Boy, have I been missing out. I loved the example of the halfling alerting the guard, but a cat runs by. Thanks for that.
I was gonna get offended on behalf of my halfling character, then I remembered that he's actually just a dragonborn who was raised by halflings. 😅
So basically Point Hat insulted your character's parents?
You think that's bad, my orc was adopted as a child by gnome parents and then in short order, the whole village.
I'm being more of a fan every time you upload a video. Thank you so much for your work!
Im absolutely in love with your homebrew on Halflings. It has utterly inspired my version of the Lucky Feat for my horror system I am writing. 😊
I love it when Pointy Hat uploads because I have an excuse for myself to ruin my sleep schedule even more.
Having binged ALL your videos in the past two weeks on my way to my job, I can say you are the best RPG channel that there is!
Your jokes are funny, your opinions are diverse and goddammit you give us new stuff WITH ART every single video! Keep it up Antonio
Ah yeah I second this. I haven't played DnD for at least a couple of decades now so I have no idea how this ended up in my feed.
But the nostalgia, commentary, humor, and ingenuity of this channel keeps me coming back. I liked this one in particular. Very fun.
Also "halflings are Hobbits with the serial numbers filed off" lmao
Oh one thing - check out the dwarf/gnome/halfling situation on classic Everquest. They managed to make them be and feel entirely distinct.
Your Jinx idea is super cool. I personally like the origin of the cosmic balance, although I also like how you left it up to interpretation
There's a whole feat chain for it in pathfinder iirc. This isn't a completely original take
I've always wanted to create a system or ability where luck is essentially borrowed.
A halfling saving their luck for when they need it, may experience several petty instances of unluckiness. While another who abuses their luck, will have to pay it back in the worst possible way. (Potentially with fatal consequences. )
Great content? For free? Its incredible! I totally didnt expect it!
This is so cool!! Halflings have been my favorite race, and this fits perfectly with my halfling Aberrant Mind Sorcerer. His life is filled with a series of very unfortunate events and I always themed his halfling luck as, like you said, a balance for all the other halflings out there, or the best possible outcome of a completely terrible event. I will be incorporating the Jinx Halfling into my world, and I sent this video to my D&D group for them to check out.
When I read that halflings were extremely cagey about teaching non halflings their language, to the point that I think there are probably more non rogues that know thieves cant than non halflings that know halfling. So I took that and used it to put a secret halfling organization bent on world conquest by various means in my world. Every player I've had play a halfling got a private note basically saying "this is the specific plan your local faction is up to. You can try to further, impede, or ignore those plans, but you cannot reveal it to any other players or NPCs"
Actually you got most of those bad luck superstitions on point, the only one I don’t know of is whistling at night, I’m Australian so I feel like I can say this with confidence
Same but it seems more like a common sense thing. If anything is going to eat you, its going to be because of the whistling.
It's supposed to attract evil spirits
@@human-tk2fo in this case, 'Evil Spirits' is 'horrible misfortune because you did something dumb'.
and yeah, whistling at night calls to mind WW1 propaganda about cigarettes and how the third cigarette would kill you because the first catches a sniper's eye, the second lets him home in on you, and the third he squeezes the trigger.
other than that, whistling at night was probably done by people signalling ne'er do wells or people about to get mugged.
though I will give you the Black Cat, that was entirely because people thought they were familiars for Witches.
most of the rest are 'silly thing to do' like walking under a ladder ([censored], I dropped a hammer/paint bucket) or opening an umbrella indoors.
I think Seven Years bad luck might've had to do with salaries and how expensive mirrors were.
I was always told by my grandmother that whistling indoors was bad luck.
Wow!! I just found your channel a few days ago, and have binge watched every single one of your videos in order. I am so glad that with the latest news you'll be able to continue what you do!! Thank you for everything you make- I have been so inspired by your content. I am dreaming up future PCs while also finally feeling like I have an idea for my first experience DMing. Gracie's backstory made me cry, and your dancing bard made me actually consider making a bard character! What you're doing is ridiculously generous and kind of hard to believe, so, thank you again!
A much simpler ability for a Jinx could be:
Shared Misfortune
If the Jinx rolls a 1 on an ability check, attack roll, or saving throw, it can force the result of another creature's roll to also result in a 1, so long as the creature is within 30 feet of the Jinx when the roll is made and the affected roll is made within 1 minute of the Jinx's roll. The affected check must be of the same kind the Jinx was attempting.
I think a fighter might be a bit strong for that class
@@OPHenguin ehh dnd is already an unbalanced mess and there are more unbalanced and op stuff in the game RAW
OMG! You worked out the mechanics of this Jinx race?! Who would have guessed you would be so awesome!
I had all the problems with halflings you did, and this is EXACTLY what halflings needed. I never even had an inkling that bad luck was the way to take things! But it makes so much sense and adds some very sourly needed flavour, lore and a hint of culture to these milque toast 3rd/4th best short kings
Just cause of the twist alone, I wish this had come out two weeks ago! Absolutely love the key art you did for Jinxes too. The cat has me melting ;w;
"Hufflepuff coded"
I am simply amazed not only because that this is a very specific descriptor i never thought to ever be uttered, but also that i instantly knew what it means and at the sheer vividness at which its imagery assulted my mind as hearing it evoked much of the imagry you showed as well.
Love you too, Pointy Hat! Thanks for the Jinx Halfling. I was super surprised when you revealed your wonderful creation to share.
OMG what a surprise you wrote all we need for playing this subrace!
Really, it is probably the coolest one you've done yet (and the bar was really high, especially after the tiefling one imo). Thanks for all that and congrats on this amazing channel!
I was so pleasantly surprised when he announced, that he had actually created the Jinxes as a subrace. Who would've thought that?
Were you surprised? I was surprised.
First time? Hehe.
It's truly beautiful seeing what someone can create with enough passion, even though I probably will never play D&D, it warms my heart. Also, why are u so sassy? I love it. Keep up the awesome content. Love from Brazil
I picture a Jinx adventurer with fifteen different holy symbols, desperately praying to each one in a row for a boulder to fall on the fire drake
Imagine a party of four halflings, where two are kender, and two are jinxes. That'd be a great game to play in!
Good timing. Wotc just announced they're keeping OGL 1.0 and they were wrong. Huge W for the dnd community.
Also the community is going to expect all manners of vile things from them from now on.
You are Genuinley my favorite dnd creator. Every time I see you posted again, my day ALWAYS gets better. I’m like “I can’t wait to get food and watch your video”! So thank you ❤
i already fixed them. i made hobbits a kind of satyr-like creature with goat legs, tiny horns, and floppy ears
it feels like you improved in art a whole lot! jinxs look super cute, sucha great concept!
Ive never really cared to run a halfling before watching this. I am now currently throwing together a character idea just in case my DM allows this. 100000000000% gold 🥇. I love this keep doing what you're doing man. I will continue to watch your vids for DnD inspiration.
the art is getting better and better each time
I think the Jinx looks really cool! I think a really awesome way to take the load off the DM for the Jinx would be to make it the opposite of halfling luck but with a little twist. A d4 subtraction to both the Jinx's next roll and the targeted creature's roll as a reaction. You can also do it without personal penalty a number of times equal to your PB per long rest. ☺️
This was an amazing video, but the end of the video with the jinx was even better. I know this is gonna sound cheesy, but I actually came up with a character like this and been using him. I did not get the wonderful traits that you had but I had the inverse of the luck feature. I also did not have a cool enough name like jinx. Very well done.
In my homebrew interpretation that separates Halflings from Gnomes is what separates Humans from Elves.
That's my take too. Gnomes are more magical and mystical. And more unpredictable. They have a no risk no fun adittude.
In older editions the halflings had a special sling that was considered a halfling weapon specifically. They had a special skill for rock throwing, like how Merri and Pippin are always throwing rocks. They even had a special rock that they threw or used in the sling called skiprocks. That will bounce from one enemy to another but only once or twice. They even had a specialized mount, the climb dog. It had bite and claw attacks. It had a climb speed and could climb with the halfling riding it.
In prior editions Kender were a typed of halfling. All Kender also had almost like a bolero of pockets that they wore. Each pocket was like a tiny bag of holding. They were kleptomaniacs and had a special ability that if you needed something the player could roll a percentage roll, I think it was like 25%, to be able to reach in their pockets and actually pull out the perfect item. They also had no concept of value. They may pass over a bag of hold in exchange for a marble that refracts light into a prism. Because they’re more interesting. I found old editions pretty fun.
Yeah, if your kender had or stole a magic item you rolled to see if they managed to hold on to it. They don't steal stuff to sell or keep it.
@@SusCalvin I forgot about the magic item thing. They “handle” what they find interesting.
@@timalice-2833 It's a percentage roll to see if a kender character holds on to an item. Things like obvious value or known magical powers make it more likely. But over time I think a kender would eventually roll and lose it. Then it doesn't matter if you thief-shake your kender upside down.
The idea for the Jinx is fantastic. You'll have to be careful when playing one though, because the "flow" will always be a "calamity".
While a jinx's life is unlucky there might be a moment where fate does an "explosive spin" and allows you to "go beyond" the calamities. If you walk the path of justice and resolve, that is.
Fun fact; TSR's first attempt at D&D had Hobbits in it. After a cease and desist from the Tolkien Estate, they made all later iterations into Halflings.
Amazing content as always. Love the Jinx take on the hobbitses. Reminds me of a thief subclass I was trying to iron out called The Black Cat. It was supposed to codify critical fumble tables, and as you advanced, enemies would crit fail on higher numbers.
Omg
You're so nice to have come up with the jinx so I didn't have to
Never saw that coming!
Thank you!
oh the jinx subrace is SUCH a cool idea, i love this! im so surprsied you actually made it for us, for free, wow....
also one thing i like that a lot of fan artists do, in much the same way that everyone just decided teiflings are purple, is when they give Halflings long floppy ears and a tail that ends in a poof like donkeys, just to make the more visualy distinct from gnomes lol
Oh wow a financially successful youtuber gave out a D&D subrace for FREEEE!
Meanwhipe starving game designers release their entire 40 year lore and 30 year game system for free and 3 ppl see it.
lol like of course he released it for free. Who tf would pay for a single halfling subrace?

In all seriousness, this looks really fun to use. Thank you for this and for the creative take on the halflings. Now I can see the difference between them and gnomes!

I found you a couple months ago, and your content is really top tier. Congrats!
First video I have ever seen by you, gonna binge this channel from here and share with all my gaming groups, this is fantastic content :)
Gnomes 2.0
Elves but tiny
The one Race that had a Convergent Variant people hate in Dragonlance
A few subraces not mentioned but still officially 5e:
Lotusden Halfling from Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount(Critical Role setting book)
Mark of Healing and Mark of Hospitality Halflings from Eberron.
All three give you spells and flavor abilities, with the Eberron ones also having additional spell lists for casters.
Currently playing a Mark of Healing Necromancer. Definitely a fun role play and mechanics character.
I was wondering if you make a video about twisting the Grung race to make them... better
That would be so fun to see! Those froggy guys deserve more love for sure
My new favorite woobie FOR FREE?!
You're the best :D
*literally describes my entire personality* "you can see how this can get really annoying"
I loved the Kender in Dragonlance. I think I would feel differently, however, if it wasn't clear that they have very short life spans on average simply because they keep getting themselves killed. If they could all luck their way through consequences, I don't think I'd like them as much.
Idk if you've done a video about it, but you should do a video about Gnomes next. I've been trying to find ways to change Gnomes and Halflings in my campaigns in order to keep both races without so much physical and cultural overlap. And your videos have been helping me with such changes, especially the character sheets you make for us to use.
Honestly I love Halflings but it is 100% because I love Hobbits. This subface looks really fun, I hope I can use it sometime in the future. The interactions between Jinxs and other Halflings would be interesting.
I've been genuinely inspired by previous creations but this one made me comment because it is so damn good. An absolutely excellent twist.
Great content, watched most of your videos in 2 days, love it, very unique content and point of view. And actually saying what you think even though people won't like it, good for you. Keep it up 👍

As a Negative Stereotype. IMO
Only quibble I have is that TSR, D&D's original owners, was the one who skirted around the Tolkien Estate with the name change. Wizards of the Coast didn't come into the picture until TSR collapsed and was bought up by them in 1997, which is when 3rd Edition began development. The rest is a great video, as always!
omg thank u for the free documents ! i was so surprised when u introduced somethnig free in ur video AGAIN

Just stumbled onto your channel by luck oddly enough. Can't wait to explore some of your other videos. Really cool stuff man.

2-El opening de Doraemon en español el oPENING DE DORAEMON EN ESPAÑOL WOW ES CIERTO QUE ERES DE AQUÍ. Por algún motivo me hace especial ilusión
I CONSTANTLY get gnomes and hobbits mixed up with each other. It's only in pathfinder where I didn't have this issues because that setting leans much more into the fey-side of gnomes with them having weird colourful hair.
I really like the idea of your jinxes sort of being forced to be optimistic in the face of their cosmic bad luck. I imagine stoic or absurdist philosophies being very popular among them. You might even get collectives of bitter jinxes who cause trouble simply because they envy the other people of the world.
5e did really make gnomes and halflings too similar, in older editions they were fairly distinct.
I listen to your videos on the way to work in the morning and sometimes even on the way home after work and I find myself laughing out loud, at your commentary and jokes the halflings with their serial number scratched off was hilarious!
This is fantastically inventive! I don't know when/if we'll use this, but I'm definitely keeping this idea in my back pocket!
I'm hurt you didn't mention Athasian halflings. Halflings of Dark Sun are *_very much_* not boring. Although, they'd be just as eager to have you for a dinner.
I played an Athasian Halfling in the very last D&D game I played. It was awesome being a violent little cannibal that was sticking with my companions because they were good meatshields.
For a great example of a character with ingrained bad luck, look up Eizen from Tales of Berseria. He also has permanent bad luck. He always carries around a coin that ALWAYS comes up tails. The party ends up in trouble multiple times through bad luck and he fights only with fists because "oh I cant hold weapons. They always break. The only thing I can rely on is myself"
Had to pause to comment. Realizing how I really appreciated reading about Halfings in Pathfinder Golarion lore. They have a history of enslavement that resulted in the sneaky abilities, and more magical luck and such. There’s regional things that add a lot to it! Versus 5e just “hobbits renamed”. Love this video btw!
Oh and also forced as spies over the years (leading to accumulating secrets, like the Ben 10 Greymatter species).
Plus the idea of a mostly halfling un

I´m late but i have to say THANK YOU not only for yet another great video full of wonderful content, but also for saying that halflings and gnomes are too darn similar, people always look at me like I´m crazy when I say it. As a matter of fact, in two of my homebrew settings I took out one or the other while sort of fusing them in some elements, and if it´s more small races with more personality people want, there´s always Goblins!
Also, love both the art and concept of the Jinx and the possibilities they open, phenomenal work as always Antonio ^ ^
A friend of mine who works in the industry has said that companies arent confused about how halflings and gnomes should look, they just cant get artists to follow directions
In reguards to gnomes vs halflings, I generally see it like Gnomes are to Halflings what Elves are to Humans. The more inately magical, nature appreciating, weird one.
I think that's in the 5e handbook, too
Hobbits are actually from British mythology. So he had no right to sue.
