[QUOTE="Dark Helmet, post: 323243, member: 1088"] Those of you who have halflings in your worlds, do any of you have your humans experience "dwarfism"; i.e., are there any (to use the non-PC term) "midgets" in your world. I've thought of using that to explain halflings in my gameworld. Halflings are HUMAN. Every once in a while a human family has a child that just stops growing. When this happens, the parents believe that their REAL child must have been stolen as an infant and replaced with a "halfling". The "halfling" soon suffers bullying from the other children and is shunned by the community. When he is old enough he will usually run away from home. Often he will encounter a community of other people his size: a "halfling" village which will of course consist of other humans with the same condition but who believe themselves to be a different race. I will make the genetic condition stronger in this world so that two "halfings" having children will produce a child that will grow to the same size. Although, it would be interesting if occasionally halfling parents have a child that just WON'T stop growing. :) [/QUOTE]
