The Halflings are disappointing, true; the one miss in the entire book, other than not enough cheesecake for my taste.
Got my copy at lunch today, too!
But I extended my lunch at the Brazen Fox and gave the book a good flip-through.
The layout and the look of the book is fantastic. Love the intro by Mearls, too.
My favorite artwork, however, are the Conditon sketches. Those are hilarious!
There's also a great pic of a wizard looking at a mushroom while researching in a book and there's something like a baby beholder in a jar next to him ... weird!
Really like the departure from the anime style art of Pathinder and the way women are presented, too. Less eye candy, and more badass!

Jon Schindehette said:So rather than try to explain why the haflings won't look like the concept art in the published game, I figured I'd illustrate what's going on.

The intent was never to pick this guy up and use it exactly like that. They would have looked weird and funny in context with other realistically rendered characters, right?
That's an understatement.
I sure am glad you didn't try to explain, Jon, or your face might /really/ be red.
