And that is fine. That is your opinion. Some disagree with it. Some don't. Some might consider it more of a wolf vs. dog thing. Honestly, elves and the rest could be hyenas or something. All the races are a type of human. Personally, a husky would be offended if it found out that my puny...

Not sure what this test proves. I thought the problem was lore or culture. Honestly, the physical difference between elves and humans are even less. Cherry picking some images of 2 humans that are drawn with disproportionately larger heads or something doesn't prove anything. Not that...

HEY RUBE (I think that's the translation)

It's probably physiologically impossible for a real life 3ft tall human to be that strong. I'm no doctorb at all though. I don't think human muscles can get that dense. Maybe gorilla muscles or something. I suppose you could counter this with saying there is nothing against the rules for...

Pretty much all the races are some form of human. If some of you think they are too human, then that's fine. Some of us don't feel that way. There is little chance they are going to be just folded as a human subrace. WOTC has a lot of different customer bases to appear and traditionalists...

That would be a nice little feature in DnDBeyond. I stand corrected! Like an anti-home brew.

Well Butterbur only serves them half pints at his tavern. Maybe that's where "halflings" comes from.

I think Thorin would be pretty pissed if people started referring to him as just a "short human".

It's pretty simple imo. Anywhere the DM sees "halflings", they just say "short human being". Since the main complaint is that halflings are too much like humans, it won't really be a problem for them. Also since halflings are purportedly hardly mentioned in official modules, etc. - this...

You don't really need a button. I recommended earlier that people can just tear out those pages from the PHB if they want. That's sort of a big feature of the game. No one is going to go to you table and demand those pages to be reinserted. Or demand that every 20th character be a...

Maybe David was a halflings with Lucky and Sharpshooter

You can make the gnolls controlled by some cultist spellcaster. That would make them act smarter or at least with some strategy.

I don't see what a common halflings village has to do with their viability as a PC race. Elf, human, dwarf commoners living in an undefended commune would also get stomped by gnolls. That's why gnolls are in the monster manual and commonly used as , well, "monsters". Because they are a...

What's with the whole gnoll thing anyways? Sorry to ask. Too lazy to go through everything. Is it that the halflings race would be wiped out because every single one of them is a farmer? Maybe Gnolls vs Halflings deserves its own thread with a poll.

So if WOTC won't exterminate the halflings by deletion, maybe the gnolls will!

This is the big disconnect. WOTC obviously wants halflings in the PHB. I know because they put halflings in the PHB. You feel very strongly about making changes to their game that they design and own the creative rights to so you really should be trying to convince them. The vast majority...

To win the internet😁 You all have won in my book.

Yall doing more analysis of the mechanics and economy than the game designers ever cared or bothered to do. There are countless "mechanics" we can find that would ruin the economy, change the fabric of the world, or win an argument in the internet. The game was designed to be social activity...

There will be two races in the next edition. One for 4 feet and under. One for everything else.

Maybe it's time to agree to disagree. There is no chance they remove halflings from the (future) PHB. But maybe they'll add a distinctive subrace like nomads who are expert traders and get the mounted combatant feat, persuasion, and insight. What is the record for longest thread?
