Halflings and kobolds should fo definitelyAs a frequent halfling/hobbit/pech player, I've looked at them primarily as filling the niche of being over their head (literally), but surviving due to preserverance and luck. They're the underdog ancestry.
I find the niche difference between goblins and kobolds to be just as miniscule as gnomes and halflings. I'd feel no strong loss if gnomes and kobolds disappeared entirely.
So you're saying that halflings need better innate abilities? That's doable, although I'd say their innate luck is a pretty big deal already.The redundant feeling some have of Halfling is that their race feels just like a culture and one that a human or gnome can easily replicate.
brb, rolling up a halfling ranger named Trotter on D&D Beyond.Named Trotter!
