费伦人比其他两个亚种中的任何一个子都更熟悉轻足半身人，这主要是因为轻足是所有半身人中数量最多、游历最广的。几乎每一个比村庄大的人类社区都至少有一些轻足半身人居住。当大多数费伦人想到半身人时，轻足半身人是最常跳到脑海中的。
The folk of Faerun are more familiar with the lightfoot hin than with either of the other two subraces, primarily because the lightfoots are the most numerous and widely traveled of all the halflings. Nearly every human community of any size larger than a village has at least a few halfling residents. When most Faerunians think of halflings, the lightfoots are the people that most often leap to mind.
历史History
大多数轻足半身人的家族血统可以追溯到他们的亚种的一个大部落居住在今天被称为鲁伦的地区。在赫因鬼战事件之后，大多数轻足半身人离开了他们的家园，在分散在费伦北部的各大聚居地（见被遗忘的国度战役设定集，第196页）。尽管鲁伦还保留着一些轻足半身人，但是这个亚种在费伦可定居的土地上随处可见。
Most lightfoot halflings trace their family ancestry back to the days when a great tribe of their subrace populated the territory known today as Luiren. Following the events of the Hin Ghostwars, the majority of the lightfoot halflings departed their homeland and spread out across northern Faerun in a great diaspora (see the FORGOTTEN REALMS Campaign Setting, page 196). Though some lightfoot halflings remained in Luiren, the subrace has become ubiquitous throughout the settled lands of Faerun.
性格Outlook
轻足半身人可能是所有亚种中最常见的，但他们的行为也是最为多样的。不可能描述“典型”的轻足半身人，因为他们与人类很相似——这个种族体现了彼此绝对对立的个体。这种行为的多样性反映在不同的前景中：有些半身人采用与他们所居住的人类社会非常接近甚至完全相同的世界观和信仰，而另一些人则保留着独特的观点，将他们与其他种族和群体（包括其他半身人）分开。这并不少见，因为他们大部分的生活都是在不同的地方漫游，他们的前景是来自不同文化和环境的融合。
It’s impossible to describe the “typical” lightfoot halfling because, much like humans, the race embodies individuals that are the absolute antithesis of one another. This diversity of behavior is mirrored in a diversity of outlooks: Some halflings adopt views and beliefs about the world that are very close or even identical to whatever human community they happen to dwell in, while others retain distinctive points of view that separate them from other races and groups (including other halflings). It’s not uncommon to meet halflings who, because they spend the greater part of their lives roaming from place to place, have outlooks that are amalgams of those from multiple cultures and environments.
然而，大多数非半身人所注意到的轻足半身人的一个方面是，他们是最有可能偏离内在欲望的半身人亚种。众所周知，对于个别的轻足半身人甚至是整个家庭来说，在同一个地方生活了几十年后，他们想搬到别的地方。一些学者推测，轻足半身人习惯于需要看到许多不同的地方，享受各种各样的经历。其他的贤者和博学者想知道，轻足半身人从几百年的实践中学习的半游牧生活方式是否是社会化的行为。这些学者认为，由于赫因鬼战的屠杀而离开鲁伦的轻足半身人也无法找到一个适合他们的新家园，于是他们四处游荡。在经历了几百年的漂泊之后，这种行为现在对轻足半身人来说是很自然的，或者说，这种思想流派是这样认为的。不管怎样，不可否认的是，许多轻足半身人似乎决心要看到费伦的大部分地方，并且在他们的一生中有许多有趣的经历。
The aspect of the lightfoot outlook that most nonhalflings notice, however, is that they are the hin subrace that is most likely to wander out of an innate desire. It is not unknown for individual lightfoot halflings or even entire families to decide that, after living in the same place for decades, they want to move on to someplace else. Some learned folk speculate that the lightfoot hin experience a habitual need to see many different places and enjoy a variety of experiences. Other sages and loremasters wonder if the lightfoot penchant for the semi-nomadic lifestyle is socialized behavior, learned from centuries of practice. These scholars theorize that the lightfoot hin who left Luiren because of the Ghostwar massacres were unable to find a new homeland that suited them as well, so they wandered. After so many hundreds of years of wanderings, the behavior is now natural to the lightfoot hin, or so this school of thought holds. Whatever the case, there’s no denying that many lightfoot halflings seem determined to see a great deal of Faerun and have many interesting experiences during their lifetimes.
轻足半身人角色LIGHTFOOT HALFLING CHARACTERS
与他们的名字相称的是，轻足半身人经常参加适合流浪者的职业，如游荡者和吟游诗人。
As befits their name, lightfoot halflings often take classes that work well for wanderers, such as rogue and bard.
受欢迎的职业：游荡者。轻足半身人在旅行中经常会学到一系列令人印象深刻的技能，而且由于他们体积小，力量低，他们需要潜行和聪明的优势。
Favored Class: Rogue. Lightfoot halflings often pick up an impressive array of skills during their travels, and with their small size and low strength, they need the advantages of stealth and cleverness.
进阶职业：一些半身人成为伏击大师，从灌木丛中跳出来投掷石块。这些守卫者，即投石狙击手，通常是半身人社区的第一道防线，因此他们的同胞非常珍惜。
Prestige Classes: Some halflings become masters of the ambush, popping up from behind a bush to deliver an onslaught of stones. These guardians, the warsling snipers, are often the first line of defense for a halfling community and accordingly are much cherished by their fellow citizens.
轻足半身人社会Lightfoot Halfling Society
轻足半身人社会是很难量化的，因为轻足可以分为三类：生活在人类中间的半身人，生活在其他轻足中间的半身人，以及四处游荡的半身人。一些轻足半身人家庭的一生都生活在一个地方，有时作为人类社会的一部分，有时在一个几乎完全由半身人居住的定居点。其他人一生都生活在费伦的公路和小路上，从来没有在一个地方呆太久。
Lightfoot halfling society is hard to quantify, because lightfoots can be divided into three groups: those who live among humans, those who live among other lightfoots, and those who wander from place to place. Some lightfoot halfling families live their entire lives in one place, sometimes as part of a human community, and sometimes in a settlement populated almost entirely by halflings. Others live their entire lives on the roads and byways of Faerun, never remaining in one place very long.
语言和文字Language and Literacy
轻足半身人会说半身人语、通用语和地区语言——轻足半身人有流浪癖，可能在任何地方。流浪的轻足半身人学习他们所居住的地方的语言，并经常学习其他广泛传播的语言。
Lightfoots speak Halfling, Common, and the language of their home region—which, given lightfoot wanderlust, could be almost anywhere. Wandering lightfoot halflings pick up the languages of the places they live, and often learn other widely spread tongues.
所有轻足半身人都不是野蛮人（换句话说，绝大多数轻足半身人）都是识字的。
All lightfoot nonbarbarians (the vast majority of the race, in other words) are literate.
轻足半身人魔法与知识Lightfoot Halfling Magic and Lore
轻足半身人在魔法方面往往是通才，使用大量的法术和魔法物品使他们的旅行或壁炉更加愉快。他们是熟练的牧师和术士，但有时缺乏成为法师的纪律。
Lightfoot halflings tend to be generalists when it comes to magic, using a broad array of spells and magic items to make their travels—or their hearths—more pleasant. They are skillful clerics and sorcerers, but sometimes lack the discipline to become accomplished as wizards.
法术和施法SPELLS AND SPELLCASTING
因为他们几乎总是与比自己更大的敌人作战，轻足半身人喜欢帮助他们在战场上移动，并削弱敌人体力的法术。快速撤退，飞行，加速，各种变形法术，尤其是伊瓦尔德黑色触手，是半身人施法者的常用法术。
Because they’re almost always fighting foes who are larger than they are, lightfoot halflings favor spells that help them move around the battlefield and negate the physical strength of their foes. Expeditious retreat, fly, haste, various polymorph spells, and especially Evard’s black tentacles are common spells in a halfling spellcaster’s arsenal.
一些轻足半身人非常迷恋旅行法术，因此他们获得了半身人旅法师专长（见附录）。
Some lightfoot halflings become so enamored of travel spells that they take the Hin Wandermage feat (see the appendix).
轻足半身人魔法物品LIGHTFOOT HALFLING MAGIC ITEMS
轻足半身人迷恋于魔法，因为它在某种程度上使旅行更容易。当然，更快的旅行是很有用的，但是速度并不总是一个轻足半身人最重视的。使旅行更舒适或更安全的物品尤其珍贵。
Lightfoot halflings are fascinated with magic that makes travel easier in some way. It’s useful to travel faster, of course, but speed isn’t always a priority to a lightfoot who’s wandering anyway. Items that make travel more comfortable or safer are especially cherished.
常见物品：手袋、哈伍德的便携袋、飞行地毯和任何魔法靴都可以在轻足半身人社区以低于正常成本低10%的价格购买。
Common Items: Bags of holding, Heward’s handy haversack, carpets of flying, and any magic boots can be purchased in lightfoot halfling communities for 10% less than the normal cost.
标志性物品：半身人面临的最一贯的缺点之一是他们的尺寸使他们很难使用某些类型的武器。为了应对这一困难，一个半身人巫师制造了第一批具有欺骗性的角刃魔法武器，它们造成的伤害比它们的尺寸所能显示的要大（见附录）。相比于鬼智或强心半身人，更多的轻足半身人拥有这些武器，这引起了猜测，也许原来的角刃发明者是轻足亚种。
Iconic Item: One of the most consistent disadvantages halflings face is that their size makes it difficult for them to make use of certain types of weapons. In response to this difficulty, a halfling wizard created the first hornblades—deceptive magic weapons that inflict more damage than their size would suggest (see the appendix). These weapons seem to be in the possession of lightfoot hin more frequently than the ghostwise or strongheart, giving rise to speculation that perhaps the original hornblade inventor was of the lightfoot subrace.
轻足半身人神祗Lightfoot Halfling Deities
轻足半身人的观点和社会的多样性也反映在他们的宗教信仰中。在所有的半身人亚种中，轻足最有可能崇拜除属于悠妲拉的孩子（半身人神系）以外的其他神。除了他们最喜爱的神祗之外，许多轻足家庭，特别是那些喜欢生活在道路上而不是更稳定的生活的家庭——通常崇敬家庭的守护神，这通常受到家族历史上一些男女族长的启发。
The diversity evident in the lightfoot halflings’ outlook and society is also reflected in their religious beliefs. Of all the hin subraces, the lightfoot are the most likely to worship deities other than those belonging to Yondalla’s Children. In addition to the deity they most favor, many lightfoot households—particularly those that prefer life on the road to a more settled existence— often venerate a household patron, often inspired by some matriarch or patriarch in the family’s history.
布兰多布李斯（Brandobaris）是一位潜行大师，他对生活的写实和幽默感让他深受轻足半身人的喜爱。布兰多布李斯是那些相信自己运气的半身人共同的守护神，他们在不同的地方流浪时能照看他们。
Brandobaris, the Master of Stealth, is much beloved by the lightfoot hin for his realistic and good-humored view of life. Brandobaris is a common patron deity of those halflings who trust to their luck to see them through as they wander from place to place.
在过去两代中出生的轻足半身人中，人们普遍崇拜的是壁炉看护者希劳拉妮（Cyrrollalee）。她关于提升半身人种族在费伦的地位和权力地位的启示已经被信徒接受了。她的牧师队伍因为寻求传播她的启示并为寻找新的轻足家园做出贡献而不断壮大。
The worship of Cyrrollalee, the Hearthkeeper, is wildly popular among lightfoot halflings born within the last two generations. Her message of the ascendance of the halfling race to a station of respect and power in Faerun has fallen on receptive ears. The ranks of her clergy have swelled with the number of lightfoot hin seeking to spread her message and contribute to the search for a new lightfoot homeland.
无论是对于流浪者还是喜欢更为永久的定居在社区的轻足半身人来说，悠妲拉的信仰都是深受欢迎的。最近，她的神职人员和那些为希劳拉妮服务的人之间出现了一些紧张关系：悠妲拉根本不确定这位年轻的神呼吁建立一个半身人的家园是否是明智的。
Yondalla’s faith is popular with the lightfoot halflings, both those who wander and those who prefer to settle in more permanent communities. Recently there has been some tension between her clergy and those serving Cyrrollalee: Yondalla is not at all certain that this younger deity’s call for a halfling homeland is wise.
轻足半身人装备Lightfoot Halfling Equipment
这些半身人喜欢轻足投石索，一种普通投石索的致命和强大的版本（见附录）。这种投石索能发射飞石，但半身人也很喜欢精确投掷。
These halflings favor the lightfoot warsling, a deadly and powerful version of the common sling (see the appendix). The warsling fires skiprocks, which halflings delight in throwing with great accuracy as well.
动物和宠物ANIMALS AND PETS
轻足半身人通过驯养一些费伦最大且最强大的猎犬来弥补他们的身材矮小。一个高大的人类强盗在也应付不了身边带着一对忠诚的猎犬半身人的旅行者。见附录中的獒猎犬。
Lightfoot halflings make up for their small stature by domesticating some of the largest and most powerful hounds in Faerun. A towering human brigand has a hard time pushing around a halfling traveler with a pair of loyal hounds at his side. See Mastiff Hound, in the appendix.
