It’s said that the surest way to tell that a Hobling is a thief is to ask him. If he says “no,” then he’s a thief. While this may be unfair, Hoblings do possess a natural gift for legerdemain activities. They are valued in any criminal organization or as spies for anyone who needs access to hard-to-get-to places.

Despite these natural skills, Hoblings may be found in many walks of life, although they shy away from the role of warriors. Honest Hoblings (of which some people say there are none) are often put off by their roguish cousins and work very hard to maintain a respectable image for the race.

Hoblings, both male and female, are a very hairy people and have a strong tendency toward busy eyebrows, sideburns, unibrows, etc. They view this as being attractive and wear them proudly.
