Hobbit Development

The only weakness exhibited by the Hobbit is their Piety making them a viable choice for many professions with those few exceptions where Piety is important. With average Intelligence you cannot rule the Hobbit out of the magical professions. 

Their Vitality, though average is important to them as it increases not only their stamina and health points but their resistance to earth based magic. Combined with their average Strength indications are that it would be quite possible they would do well in more physically demanding professions. 

Their Dexterity is higher than any other race indicating they will do quite well in roles related to this attribute, which includes all but two professions. Speed and Senses are good which can only work in their favor for any profession.

If viewed from an aspect of meeting professional requirements, the Hobbit shares the lead with one other race, qualifying as the best choice for more professions than all other races. Even though their Piety does lack, you really can employ the Hobbit in any capacity since it doesn't really "hurt" to meet the Piety qualifications of those few professions that demand it.
