[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7171944, member: 23751"] "The diminutive halflings survive in a world full of larger creatures by avoiding notice or, barring that, avoiding offense. Standing about 3 feet tall, they appear relatively harmless and so have managed to survive for centuries in the shadow of empires and on the edges of wars and political strife. They are inclined to be stout, weighing between 40 and 45 pounds." So physically they are diminutive and stout(fat), and are 3 feet tall weighing 40-45 pounds. Yeah, that says strong(sarcasm). "Half-orcs’ grayish pigmentation, sloping foreheads, jutting jaws, prominent teeth, and towering builds make their orcish heritage plain for all to see. Half-orcs stand between 6 and 7 feet tall and usually weigh between 180 and 250 pounds." Physically a half-orc is 6-7 feet tall, weights 180-250 pounds and has a towering build. Yeah, that says that they are the equal of the halfling(more sarcasm). The game text simply doesn't back up halflings being as strong as half-orcs. In AD&D Adamantine is from meteorites. It's basically star metal. 3e didn't specify that I don't think, but it didn't change it, either, and I have no idea what 4e mentioned it as. [/QUOTE]
