Y'know as a rule, I've never allowed this race in my games since I think
that Halflings are more than a bit lame.
Just look at how most people play them as cheery, sneaky, conniving little
gits, with a lot of pockets.
Hate halflings.
Love Orcs.
Now I have always been confused as to why you can play a Half-Orc but not a
full blooded Orc. You can play a Half Elf as well as an Elf. I think the
opposite of the spectrum should be available.
As for Halflings, the best thing TSR did with halflings was the stuff they
did with them in Dark Sun. Now those are some mean halflings. I even played
a Dark Sun halfling for a while. Until he got ate by a Thri-Kreen war party
anyway.
Hate halflings, call them kender, hobbits, call them beardless gnomes, I
still hate em.
Cheers,
Rob.
