Description: It is said it was the halflings who first befrended dogs, from even before man, elf, or dwarf had broken the first ox or horse. The halfling dog rider is strong evidence for that ancient bond. The secrets of training war dogs have been with halflings since before the First Empire, and stories of Dog Riders harassing the Ubrekti are still told. Masters of the javalin and light halfling lance, dog riders' lightning speed and maneuverability allow them to disrupt and harass enemies with ease.
