[QUOTE="Falling Icicle, post: 1829601, member: 17077"] Why have mountain folk who are good miners and craftsman as a race? Couldn't you just have a Human culture that likes to live in mines? Why have forest folk who are good artists and archers as a race? Couldn't you just have forest dwelling, artist, archer Humans? I like the 3E Halflings. And no, they are not at all like Kender. Kender were compulsive kleptomaniacs and nothing short of insane. 3E Halflings have nothing more than appearance in common with them. Yes, they have a resistance to fear, but only a +2.
