Hin Fist

The Hin Fist were a halfling, or hin, monastic order from Luiren in the mid–14 century DR. Members were commonly also known as hin fists.

Dogma
The followers of the Hin Fist turned their people's natural great confidence into a spiritual path of self-belief and the power of one halfling to master both themselves and the world. A hin fist believed the goddess Yondalla gifted them with their body and mind, so they should develop and use them as best as they could, rather than rely on made things for weapons. Their beliefs were strict and only those true of heart could join.

They followed the gods of the halfling pantheon, Yondalla most of all, but also Arvoreen, Cyrrollalee, Sheela Peryroyl, and Urogalan (so, not Brandobaris). They were quite devout and must be lawful neutral or lawful good in character.

Abilities
Monks of the Hin Fist could cross-train freely as rogues, fighters, and paladins, typically of Yondalla. In turn, halfling paladins of the Shields of Yondalla could also train as monks of the Hin Fist. Lawful, good, and experienced hin fists of Luiren who followed Yondalla could become sacred fists.

Activities
Hin fists were usually based at their temples and monasteries in Luiren, focusing on their training. When not in training, they traveled Luiren either singly or in small bands and fought as Yondalla's champions.

Lands
Most monasteries of the order were located in Luiren, where the membership was exclusively halflings. They were also found at temples to Yondalla dedicated to defense of the realm.

However, some enterprising masters established monasteries outside Luiren, and a few opened the order and its teachings to gifted dwarf and gnome students willing to follow the same path.
