Original Creator: Grunthar Goblinslayer
Original Purpose: The first set of picks were originally made as a gift for Wanderlust Gemseeker, a halfling who had a strange internal drive to mine for gems. The halfling loved mining so much that she left here small community of halflings and traveled to the land of dwarves to learn the art of mining gems and ore. After much begging and pleading the dwarves allowed her into the mountain and taught her the art of mining and cutting gems. As many know digging deep into the earth can often be dangerous, so the dwarves crafted the halfling weapons that could be used for both mining and battle. Eventually the halfling became a renowned gemcutter, and many came from miles away just to get one of her perfectly faceted gems.

Item Description: This pick has a handle made of adamantine and a head of mithril. They are often crafted by gnomes, halflings & dwarves and usually bear markings of dwarven or gnomish writings on the heads, often tales of mining adventures, or heritage. The pick is treated as a +1 light pick to all those who wield it, however if used in the hands of any dwarf or small creature, and only for dwarves and small creatures, the weapon functions as a +3 weapon with the special abilities of returning and throwing, and it does not suffer the normal penalties for an improvised throwing weapon.
