Whenever a halfling rogue delivers aranged sneak attack with a thrown weapon or sling, she dealsan extra 1d6 points of damage. However, her melee sneakattack damage is reduced by 1d6 (0 points of damage at 1stlevel, an extra 1d6 points at 3rd level, an extra 2d6 points at5th level, and so forth, to a maximum of an extra 9d6 pointsat 19th level).This ability doesn’t give the halfling rogue the ability todeal sneak attack damage to creatures she otherwise couldn’taffect (whether due to their anatomy, concealment, range, orany other reason).This substitution feature augments, but does not replace,the standard rogue’s sneak attack ability.Thief’s Luck (Ex): At 3rd level, a halfling rogue gains asecond chance against certain dangers. She can reroll anyReflex save she has just rolled. If she chooses to use this ability(which must be decided before the result of the originalsave is known), she must abide by the second roll. She mayuse this ability once per day at 3rd level and one additionaltime per day for every three levels gained thereafter. Shecan’t use this ability more than once per round.This substitution feature replaces the standard rogue’sability of trap sense. A halfling rogue with this substitutionfeature never gains trap sense from rogue levels.Sniping Mastery (Ex): A halfling rogue who has hiddenat least 10 feet away from her target can make one or moreranged attacks, then immediately hide again as a freeaction. She takes only a –10 penalty on her Hide checkto do so (rather than the normal –20; see page 76 of thePlayer’s Handbook).This substitution feature replaces the standard rogue’sspecial ability gained at 10th level.RAPTORAN CLERICThe raptoran cleric gains extra powers from his dedicationto the pact made between his race and the denizens of theElemental Plane of Air.
