Level Up (A5E) Meet Mara, Halfling Sorcerer

The Level Up Starter Box launched on Kickstarter last week. We’ve already met at T’lingbet, the dragonborn ranger, Akanni, the human adept, Diamond, the planetouched cleric, and Gywven the dwarf rogue. Now let’s take a look at Mara, the halfling sorcerer.

Lots of questions here

Culture says "Hill Dwarf" but she is listed as halfling. Is this a misprint or is culture separate from race and she was raised by dwarfs.

She has claws and burrow speed. So are halflings half badger people in level up? Or is this special to her? The art doest show the claws but at 1d6 damage I assume they are fairly big.

2 feet 5 inches is really, really small.

The latter. Level Up has heritage and culture.

That is one halfling variation in Level Up; there are the more traditional halflings too.

She is indeed really, really small.

She is indeed really, really small.

But her size is listed as Medium.

We did a whole comedy sketch about that once.

You see a large giant…

Oh that’s quite small for a giant.

No it’s a large one.

But most are huge.

I mean it’s large for a giant!

—— I didn’t say it was the best sketch ever!

Each week we revisit a short skit from the main podcast, a year or more back. In this one, the players encounter a small large giant.

@Morrus is that depiction of Mara an actual person's face used in the art, "super-imposed", it looks very life like? Looks good, I like it.

I'm not the artist (that was Samantha Kanios), but as far as I'm aware it's regular art.

Nice, some of the more realistic art I've seen in a RPG book in a while.
