Quickling#
Already did it. Did it twice. You were saying?
Quicklings are a third of a human's height, bald, and grown at three. Dexterity 14 is the best starting score of any race, and they talk about as fast as they move.
How they live#
Quicklings are mischievous and self-centered, and few of them see thirty-five, so they don’t wait for anything. When a city goes bad they’re gone before anyone else has noticed.

What others say#
I turned around to pay him and he'd already eaten, left, come back and asked if I was done.
They don't steal. They just finish owning things before you do.

Playing a quickling#
Any race can take any class. These are the ones quicklings start closest to, with the race’s starting score in each of the class’s two stats.
Scout
Dexterity 14 and charisma 12, a scout's two stats, are the best start any race gets in any class.
Pickpocket
Dexterity 14 leads and luck 11 backs it.
Minstrel
Charisma 12 and luck 11, and nobody can finish a verse faster.
One great thing
A quickling who once saved the party’s life is turning thirty and wants to do one great thing before the end. They have a list, and it’s long.
Names#
One quick syllable, two at most. If you can’t shout it twice in one breath, it’s too long. Zip Nevercaught, Jink, Kipit Quickfingers.
