Halflings
One thing I recall about halflings is that they are supposed to be amazingly stealthy and able to hide or vanish almost in plain sight. So I started brainstorming about a halfling "hide" ability.
My brainstorming:
- This would not be invisibility, but instead a boost to stealth
- it would be activated as an ability, not on by default.
- it would only work, or work better, while the player is adjacent to something, like walls or plants, and/or standing still.
- The ability would be severely hampered if wearing boots, unless they are elven, which would have less of a penalty.
- it would end when the player attacked something
- it would reduce player movement speed, depending on their stealth skill, e.g. the higher the skill, the smaller the movement penalty.
This would be thematic, and it would actually create a new and interesting playstyle where there is actually a technique to being sneaky. It would also fix the problem of enchanters being better assassins than assassins are - a Halfling assassin would use a different, interesting and non-magic-based stealth approach.
