 Little people (base MP 4) of a pastoral nature. Friendly with humans, with small villages in their lands. Some characteristics of dwarves and elves. Units have relatively good defense in all terrains (5% better than Thief across the board, excepting reef/shallow/swamp), with little movement penalty except water (the better of Dwarf Fighter and Elvish Archer, except reef/shallow/swamp). Primary disadvantage is low HP. Interestingly, they have one random bad trait (dim, fearful, foolish, slow, weak), but '''three''' random good traits (dextrous, healthy, intelligent, quick, resilient, strong, wise) which cannot be the opposite of the bad one.

 ===cutpurse===
 Every successful attack transfers 1-4 gold from the attacked team, 1-8 if it's the killing blow. (The exact amount is determined by the opponent's defense. Easier to hit, and steal from, someone mired in a bog. If you kill someone with 70% defense, you gain 8×0.3=2 gold.) Not effective vs undead; they don't carry gold. Opposing team must have positive gold total for this to work. As with other special attacks, this should reduce the damage from what it would otherwise be.
 ===damage shield===
-Kind of like an inverse drain. Instead of you hitting others and getting half of that as health, when others hit you they take roughly half of the damage as well (damage type modifiers apply). Decreases the effectiveness of your attack though (just like attacks with other special effects, e.g. ''stun'', do). For example, a unit with a 6×4 quarterstaff attack could do a spinning maneuver 5×3 with damage shield.

Decreases the effectiveness of your attack though (just like attacks with other special effects, e.g. ''stun'', do). For example, a unit with a 6×4 quarterstaff attack could do a spinning maneuver 5×3 with damage shield. The damage shield need not be the same type as the weapon used (e.g. spear that wreaths you in flame). The self-damage should be based on the unmodified damage dealt out. A troll hitting me doesn't get a break because ''I'' happen to be resistant to impact; he's going to take (half of) the full force back in his face, modified by his resistance to the returning damage type.
 ===enthrall===
-An enthralled unit switches allegiance to the side of the attacker until ''cure''d (e.g. by white mage or resting in a village—and yes, this negates healing that turn) or he snaps out of it (10% chance per level every turn). He fights at half damage (as if ''slow''ed) while enthralled though still has full movement. Loyal units are immune. Enthralling attacks likely do only 1×1 damage, or they'd be counterproductive!
