Slavery- Halflings are a slave race in this age. They are small, don't take up much space, eat little and are mentally capable of enduring tremendous amounts of abuse. Free halflings live in constant fear, because there is a substantial reward for information leading to the discovery of the whereabouts of a group of free halflings. The Poison Spear clan of orcs specializes in the capture of free halflings, and range all over the planes hunting down the small nomadic groups. The term Poison Spear has become the worst, most vile phrase in the halfling language.

Lance, Halfling: D8 damage, 20/x3 crit. While the halflings have learned to use their steeds' momentum to make more damaging attacks, their favored weapons are not the gaudy lances of medieval lore. Rather, halfling wogren riders have adapted their culture's preference for the spear and created a light lance that is simpler but just as effective.

Halfling lances are often bound with rawhide and a complex web sheath to the wogren saddle, such that the rider need only pivot the lance upward with one hand to use it effectively. When attached in this manner, the halfling may use the lance one-handed of his wogren mount's Strength modifier to the attack and damage roll. Attaching and detaching the spear from the webbing is a full-round action that may provoke attacks of opportunity.

Halfling lances that are attached deal double damage when used from the back of a charging wogren, or triple damage if the wielder has the Spirited Charge feat.

Halfling lances must be used as two-handed weapons if not attached to the saddle, and may be used on foot as spears (they deal double damage when set to receive a charge).
