I will count the shield as armor, so 1.25 lb is correct. Makes sense that a Halfling's shield is smaller than a normal shield.

Thanx Lucky.. I just rounded it up to 2 lbs to make my math easier!

Joe the Rat wrote:Halflings: Note that halfling armor is 1/4 weight (p. 36, Carrying Capacity) - so those leathers are about 4lb each. Also Double-check your carry capacity as well.

I I thought I had seen that somewhere but I couldn't locate it. When I get home after work I will recalculate and may make a few minor adjustments.

Lucky, can you clarify this please. Do you mean that we can cast any cleric spell that we are allowed at any point in the game (meaning we can't cast spells until level 2 but at that point we could cast any level 1 spell we wanted) or do we choose a spell to start with?

Yes, as long as you are high enough to cast a spell at said level, you may cast any spell of that level.

So its the same as the BTB rules. I imagine blazeguard was hoping for a chance to throw spells at first level

That or have the Semi-Sorcerous "Pick it when you cast it" option...

We know they're the same religion, but is there any chance our Halfling Brothers (Half-Brothers?) are from the same church/temple/whatever you call the centers of worship? I see some potential there. I mean, it your backstories, but I just wanted to toss that idea out there.

Just curious; who's Alderonth? Is that like Presbyterian?

A little extra flavor detail for the clerics, eh?
