Racial Features

Burrow-Blessed Luck

When you roll a 1 on a d20 Test, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll. This luck represents generations of halflings surviving by stubborn instinct, quick reflexes, and impossible timing in a dangerous land.

Usage: Always

Dust-Slip

You can move through the space of any creature that is at least one size larger than you. In addition, you ignore nonmagical difficult terrain created by sand, ash, loose gravel, cracked earth, or broken masonry.

Usage: Always

Wasteland Endurance

You have advantage on saving throws you make against poison, disease, and environmental exhaustion caused by extreme heat, extreme cold, or dehydration. Generations of hard travel have made your body unusually hard to break.

Usage: Always

Scavenger's Instinct

As an action, choose a point you can see within 30 feet. You learn whether the area contains hidden potable water, edible plants, useful salvage, concealed tunnels, or other survivable refuge within 30 feet of that point, if any exist. You learn only the general direction of one such source or feature, not its exact location or contents.

Usage: Proficiency Bonus per Long Rest

Rules Compatibility

Primary Ruleset D&D 5.5 / SRD 5.2
Compatible Rulesets D&D 5.5 / SRD 5.2, D&D 5e / SRD 5.1
Ability Scores Flexible. Use Background-based ability score increases in dnd_5_5; this species does not grant fixed bonuses.
Balance Notes This species is balanced to sit near the power level of official halfling-style options: one standout luck trait, one mobility trait, one durable survival trait, and one narrow utility sense. It gains no innate spellcasting, no flight, no broad resistances, and no armor or weapon boosts, so its combat impact stays modest while its exploration value is strong.
