• Small: As a Small creature, a tallfellow gains a +1 size bonus to Armor Class, a +1 size bonus on attack rolls, a –4 size penalty on special attack (bull rushes, grapples, overruns, and trips) checks, and a +4 size bonus on Hide checks, but it uses smaller weapons than humans use, and its lifting and carrying limits are three-quarters of those of a Medium character.

• Favored Class: Rogue. A multiclass tallfellow’s rogue class does not count when determining whether she takes an experience point penalty for multiclassing.
