Hobbit Shirriff

Hobbit Shirriffs are the protectors of the Shire, much like the bounders in the book.

Characteristics
The Hobbit Shirriffs of the books aren't used to seeing much action when it comes to fighting, they may take care of a couple drunkards or something along those lines but nothing that big. Well, in this mod they can see alot of action so they are equipt with their iron daggers or their weapon of choice, their Slings. Hobbit Shirriffs won't bother you if you don't bother them, if you come into the Shire and reek havoc Hobbit Shirriffs will be summoned and fight you off with their "deadly" slings or their melee attack. Any well-armed person should be able to kill them and pick up their loot (regular Hobbit loot with a chance of their weapons).

Appearance
Hobbit Shirriffs look much like normal hobbits except that they where a leather cap with a feather in it and they mey be seen ridng a Shire pony (commonly not seen outside of raids).

Raids
When an Evil player or NPC kills hobbits in the Shire,or if the player/NPC is in the Shire too long a Shirriff "raid" may occur. In this raid a Horn may sound and a text notifier will appear in the chat/command box, and several Shirriffs (the amount that spawn depends on how evil the player is or how dangerous the NPC is) will appear. They will hunt down this troublemaker to the best of their abilities. If multiple players are present killing the members of one raid may attract the attention of another. With players, the chance of a raid increases as the player becomes more evil, and with evil NPCs a raid is more likely for more dangerous creatures.
