Halflings -- should they die?

[Akrasia]

The 'problem child' of D&D -- the halfling. Are they just 'hobbits'? Or perhaps 'kender'? Or maybe something else (i.e. the 'not-uber-annoying' kender 3E halflings)?

Let us vote. And may the vote declare them dead.

I'm OK with killing halflings, as long as elves are first on the hit list.

 

[Buttercup]

I agree with Gez, but I'd insert gnomes between elves and halflings. Unless the halflings are Kender, in which case I'd just quit the campaign.

That's not fair! I really like the "Lidda" style halfling, but still want my halflings to smoke longbottom "pipeweed"

3e halflings roxxors!

Probably got my munchkin syntax wrong there, if that's even possible.

Personally, I like the new halflings. They broke the hobbit/kender mould into itsy bitsy little pieces and let DMs and PCs play whatever sort of halfling they wanted.

IMC, they range from a nervous, combat-shy halfling diviner that the party once saved, to a bunch of tree hugging druids and rangers - all with a level or two of rogue, to the sad spinster who'll let any old villian stay in her inn as long as they pay up front.

And then there's the gnomes...

Personally, I like my hobbits to be dickensian lads. Which is about as far from kender as you can actually get.

I also like my kender hog-tied and roasting over a spit.

 

[Hand of Evil]

I can't tell them apart, Kinder, halflings, gnomes, the only way is to turn them sideways, the one with the big belly and feet is the halfling, the big nose is the gnome, the over stuff backpack is the kinder...kill them all!

 

[TracerBullet42]

Without halflings...there would be no master chefs! Need I say more?

Save the halflings...kill the elves!

i prefer my Hobbits fat, jovial, and Lawful.

And with a max of 8 levels in Hobbit, not any wusy class, right?
