Right. And really it only matters for characters with Cunning Action so they can take advantage (literally) every round. I suppose a party of halflings could also do some shenanigans where they all line up behind a human that opens a door, and everyone tosses surprise hand axes and fire bolts...

The criminal is just doing crime wrong. He's like the guys in Office Space. "We would be good at this if we had more practice." Look at the Charlatan. Comfortable wealth! Even the urchin, a literal street beggar, has managed to pull themselves up by the bootstraps and achieve Modest wealth...

I should also add, a lightfoot halfling doesn't have to be directly behind the larger creature that gives them cover. They could be 60 feet away and still get it.

You can also run into situations like a halfling rogue hiding behind a taller ally. They can shoot through the ally's square (square! I can't think without a grid) and would get cover depending on the angle the DM decides on. They would also get advantage if hidden (halflings can hide behind...

Counterspell. Versatile for a player and it's great for a DM.
