I always thought that halflings were in practice just small humans, with minor differences, the name "halflings" coming from that. Being small is what distinguishes them from humans. I find it absurd that they have to change their concept because of problems in drawing them... It's just as absurd as changing the concept of an invisible creature to visible because otherwise they can't draw it <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/erm.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":erm:" title="Erm    :erm:" data-shortname=":erm:" />Another concept I've heard a few times is that halflings may look like human children who stopped growing but haven't stopped aging. That however may lead to some not-so-nice graphical interpretation.Anyway the best detail to make them stand out is indeed the old barefoot with furry feet. No other human-like race has that IIRC. I would also make them never with beard or moustache, and never balding, with age manifesting only with wrinkles, curved posture and whitening hair (this is maybe what I have in mind when hearing they look like aging children*). Slight childlike proportions as in  [MENTION=607]Klaus[/MENTION]' drawing C would be IMHO perfect, not cartoon-like and neither Kender-like as in 3ed.*by contrast, I'd make elves never age at all and always look the same from puberty to venerable age</blockquote>
