[QUOTE="Mordane76, post: 515819, member: 7172"] They would be a halfling subrace if my homebrew world contained halfling, however it doesn't. The only standard races in my homebrew are Humans, Dwarves, and Half-Elves. Elves received subrace splitting and modification, Quith took the place that would be considered "Halfling," Bakarans (unposted) took the place that would be considered "Half-Orc," and then there are several other races that don't necessarily pare off any other "canon" races. I'm not looking to shave them down; they already have low-light, and dropping the extra speed would make them halflings with extra bells. I know their stat block has many Halfling abilities, and some Kender abilities, and that's fine; but just because something has some/most of the same things as a halfling/kender doesn't mean it has to conform to the Halfling/Kender idea. I realize that giving extras means extra power, and that's why I'd rather scale up than down -- if I scale up to ECL +1, I make the race slightly more attractive, but also at the cost of leveling speed. If I scaled down to ECL +0, then I might as well throw out a few months of work and just use Halflings from the book. [/QUOTE]
