[QUOTE="Bran Blackbyrd, post: 382234, member: 1710"] I hated the pre-3E halflings. What's supposed to be cool about a red cheeked, pot-bellied cherub who's afraid to leave its house, that enjoys nothing more than sitting on it's butt eating grotesque amounts of food? Dare I start a brawl by suggesting a similarity between hobbits and some gamers? ;) I don't understand why people keep droning on and on about the kender. You do realize that many people were never introduced to the kender, and as such have no such prejudices, don't you? I never got any FR material before 3E, as a result, I never read about the kender. Now, you SHOW me where in 3E that it says halflings are unrepentant smiling kleptomaniacs? The only resemblance that halflings bear to the kender, it would seem, is physical. So much for that complaint. Get over it. You know what I think? I think that fans of "true hobbits" got to have things the way they wanted them for a few decades. Keeping that in mind, and that 3E has only been out since q3 2000, don't the fans of 3E halflings deserve to enjoy them for a while? I had to look at those bloated hobbit toads since I started playing D&D, I'm glad they changed halflings to a race I would actually want to play as. Let the 3E halfling have its day in the sun. Hobbits have had the spotlight long enough. [/QUOTE]
