HALFLING PUMPKIN QUEEN

I worked up a Halfling Race for ACKS, and then made a few classes:  the Burglar (basically a halfling thief;  the Scout: basically a halfling explorer (fighter subclass))  and the Halfling Pumpkin Queen.   Making classes is a right proper pain in the ass for ACKS, but I persevered and here is the Pumpkin Queen (I've not included the experience table, spell progression table and spell lists for space's sake)

CUSTOM CLASS: HALFLING PUMPKIN QUEEN

Prime Requisite: Wisdom

Requirements: Dex 9+

Hit Dice: 1d4

Maximum Level: 13

The majority of the halfling people are peaceful, quiet and stay at homes. Their religious needs are likewise tended to by a class of peaceful halflings known as the Pumpkin Queens.

Halfling Pumpkin Queens are poorly trained combatants, at first level hitting an unarmored enemy (AC0) with a 10+. They increase their attacks and saving throws 2 points every six levels, as mages. Halfling Pumpkin Queens may not wear armor and may not use shields. They may only use staff, club, sling, or bolas for weapons.

As all halflings, Pumpkin Queens are Difficult to Spot: if they remain motionless and under cover in forest or undergrowth can become undetectable on a proficiency roll of 3+, in dungeons on a roll of 14+. Likewise, halflings are known to be Lucky Bastards, gaining +3 on saving throws vs. Blast and Breath, and +4 on all other saving throws (included in the chart below). Futhermore, they are Natural Throwers, gaining +1 to hit with all thrown weapons and slings. Finally, their small size and peaceable demeanor puts folk at their ease, making all elves, orcs, humans, hogoblins, ogres and trolls roll reactions to individual halflings or groups of them at a +1.

Their harmony with the spirits of nature gives them an aura of protection, providing +1 to AC and to saves against those with evil intentions. Given divine favor to heal and protect the halfling folk, the pumpkin queen can Lay on Hands, healing 2 hp/level once per day. The holy regard the pumpkin queens have in the halfling community cause any halflng fighting for her to gain +1 bonus to morale whenever she is present due to Holy Fervor. Finally, her Strength of Spirit makes her immune to magical and normal fear effects. At 5th level the Pumpkin Queen can research spells and make potions and scrolls. At 9th level she can make permanent magic items, and at 11th level, she can make constructs and cast ritual spells.

At 9th level, a halfling pumpkin queen can establish a Halfling Shire and will attract 1d6 halfling pumpkin queens of level 1 and 3d6x10 level 0 halfling militia to defend it.

Class Proficiencies: animal husbandry, animal training, beast friendship, command, contemplation, craft, diplomacy, divine blessing, divine health, elementalism, healing, knowledge, laying on hands, leadership, lore mastery, magical engineering, magical music, naturalism, passing without trace, prestidigitation, profession, quiet magic, sensing evil, sensing power, theology, tracking, unflappable casting,

The Restrictions: a Halfling Pumpkin Queen is bound by certain mystical restrictions. First, they may never enter a building that contains a dead body. Second, they may not wear any garment that is tied with knots. Third, if they meet anyone who is tied up, shackled or chained, that person must be immediately released. Fourth, they may never handle and object made of iron (items of bronze are usually substituted, which cost 2 to 5 times the equivalent iron item). If the Pumpkin Queen breaks any of these restrictions she loses her spell powers until she is ritually purified by an atonement spell performed by another Pumpkin Queen
