What they miss out in STR they could gain elsewhere: +2 bonus (Lesser Advantage) to hit and damage with thrown weapons and slingsIncrease crit range by 1 with thrown weapons and slingsLucky - reroll 1's once per dayBonuses to climb & jumping skill checks for every 2 points in STRBonuses to balance & acrobatics skill checks for every 3 points in DEXImproved defense against creatures of medium or greater sizeAdvantage on Fear checksCover Benefit: Due to their size its easier to have 3/4's cover or full cover+2 bonus (Lesser Advantage) on history, heraldry, myth, and social checks regarding anything related to halflingsNimbleness - ability to move through creatures with less consequencesBonus Language, perhaps its easier for them to pick up Languages.Inspirational: Given their chearful disposition allow them to expend their Inspiration to give others a reroll on a Saving Throw or Second Wind....etcAnd in Mystara - they also get access to Denial (Counterspell) in the Shires or if really powerful anywhere else.I think its better to celebrate the differences than just make everyone the same with just slapping a label (race) as the only difference.   Give them 1 or 2 bonus languages or an additional Lore proficiency - maybe a craft/profession (singing, dancing, poetry, acting) or ability to play a musical instrument.Mystaran elves are very different to Tolkien elves. They're frivolous and what the dwarves would refer to as lazy - very complacent, love playing, music and hunting, and their ambition is slow to mature. They also do not stay together 'long' in relationsips (40-60 years), getting bored, ending with mutual separation. Therefore elves can have 3-4 significant partners with many children over the course of a lifetime. Not your usual type of elves <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />This of course explains their 'wasted' years in the Known World - I'm less familiar with elves' personality in DS, GH and FR.</blockquote>
