This was so prevalent that even the kender of Dragonlance fame were made into an entire race of natural thieves. I had hoped that with the advent of 3E and the lifting of racial restrictions on classes, those days were behind us. Sad to say, they aren’t, apparently. The fault is not entirely on Bad Axe Games. This sourcebook is, as they state on the reverse, an exploration of the race’s favored class (something that holds true for all of their sourcebooks), but in so doing, I think they’ve missed the entire point that they were trying to make. Halflings make good rogues, but a rogue is not just a thief, and this book misses that fact. "BTW, every single HOHF book has been the same size and shape. why bash this fact in your review? Bias showing a little? Also it is rather sad that you bash the artwork becuase the pictures don't fit YOUR image of a halfling. I guess the world does revolve around you.Ok first you gripe that the book focuses too much on being a thief. Then you go on with:"Surprisingly, despite the fact that all of them combine with rogue in some fashion, the prestige classes are the strongest advocate in the book of drawing attention away from the image of the race as a bunch of thieving rascals. "Didnt you just complain that you didnt want the book to be too focused on thieves?</blockquote>
