But why? The lore, the pastoral way of life, the stout heart/bravery-in-a-pinch, the focus on community, acceptance and family of the Halfling as presented in most publication do not present them as rogue material. Just because Bilbo was a burglar in a book does not make all short kin rogues.I have never seen halflings as wise more craft as let us face it they are a dex race made to be rogues.

I thought Bilbo was chosen because hobbits made "natural" burglars. They may not have the mindset, but have the natural talent.Just because Bilbo was a burglar in a book does not make all short kin rogues.
The Hobbit
There is little or no magic about them, except the ordinary everyday sort which helps them to disappear quietly and quickly when large stupid folk like you and me come blundering along, making a noise like elephants which they can hear a mile off.
rogue also tend to be towards the mundane and the skilful which halflings are they are kind of basic hence why they are so hard to fit into a setting with more mundane humans you are right in them not being fit for a rogue but I do not see them as natural adventure material.But why?

Sure, halfling have moved a long way from their Hobbit roots, but I think the crafty, cunning and quick witted small folk is better presented by the Gnome than Halflings.
Well, it comes from the fact that they have the ''Brave'' trait. But in LotR, Frodo and Sam are the one who resisted best the corruption power of the Ring. Given, that's more willpower than wisdom as you and I would define it. Let's just say that the vagueness of the D&D's abilities are always a problem when trying to define a fictional creature.am not sure where hobbits being "brave" or having high Wisdom coming from
Merry and Pippin would seem to be burglars. They weren’t particularly brave or wise. Frodo had the advantage of Gandalf’s tutelage, as well as a rather more learned upbringing. Samwise is the only one who seems to have exuded wisdom. But, his class seems to have been “stalwart companion”, with a bit of cook, handyman, and baggage carrier thrown in.Well, it comes from the fact that they have the ''Brave'' trait.

I don't think willpower is really accurate. Plenty of people in Middle-Earth had lots of willpower, but were implied or shown to be vulnerable to the temptation of the Ring. Denethor comes to mind.Well, it comes from the fact that they have the ''Brave'' trait. But in LotR, Frodo and Sam are the one who resisted best the corruption power of the Ring.

That's what I meant earlier by "werewolf-lite".For me, the shifters feel lame because they are unable to transform fully into an animal.
I would find them more fun if the had three forms: human (or similar), Beast, and a medial form in between.
