Message: <blockquote data-quote="AFGNCAAP" data-source="post: 1581641" data-attributes="member: 871">I've kind of kept with the idea of the halflings as a "homeless folk," mainly dwelling in nations established by other races, but not in one of their own.  However, part of my campaign's backstory explains why that is the case.In addition, the halflings tend toward a nature-based belief system: thus there are many more halfling druids than there are halfling clerics (quite a few halfling clerics still revere nature, so they tend toward Animal, Plant, and elemental/nature-oriented cleric domains).Also, for a bit of an added twist, I modified the backstory of gnomes: they're actually half-halfling, half-dwarf (with a bit of fey blood in the mix, for their innate magical abilities).  The gnomes are the remnants/descendants of a nation of halflings and a large barbaric clan of dwarves that dwelled in the northern lands.  Both groups were decimated in a war, and the survivors merged into a single community.  The dwarves and halflings intermarried, and the community was closely allied with the local fey in the area.  The end result, centuries later, is the gnomes.  These gnomes, like their halfling ancestors, tend to have more druids than clerics.(Basically, gnomes are just as they are in the PHB, except they have the shorter lifespan of svirneblin, and the "Dwarf Blood" trait, allowing them to use any, and be affected by, any magics specifically focused toward dwarves).</blockquote>
