[QUOTE="scipio, post: 1994683, member: 16382"] You know, in none of my recent campaigns has a single halfling shown its face. Not even a cameo, and no one seems to have noticed. Plenty of gnomes - the group is sick of them, so IMC, gnomes are pirates - the bards sing sea chanties to inspire ill-advised boarding operations: "Oh we're the gnomes of the western sea we'll slit your necks and sink your boats Take your gold and silver for weeee are the gnomes of the western sea We're the gnomes with the great big ships split the casks and crack the whips some will be slaves and some set freeeee down into the briny sea! We're the gnomes with mighty picks Gnomish pirates get all the chicks..." and so on in whiny nasal voices. That put the fear of God into the PCs. Oh yeah, and no "half" races - it doesn't make sense that orcs can successfully breed with humans (different species and all). Magical creatures (dragons, demons) are a different story... [/QUOTE]
