[QUOTE="swordsmasher, post: 1939305, member: 21461"] Nah, I don't hate halflings, I do hate gnomes however. The adventure was set up that there was a plague infecting the gnomes, and the pc's had a chance to stop it. they didn't bother with it, so the gnomes all died out. The halflings in my campaign were always fringe-type chaarcter's, and were looked upon with disdain anyway. During the dragon overlord campaign, the pc's again had a chance to save the halflings, they just didn't. and the halflings being fringe type characters couldn't band together in any sort of fashion, so were hunted to extinction. trust me, there are repercussions. (The prophecy was that when the halfling race was no more, a new even more terrible threat would arrive to sunder the dragon overlord's hold, and lo and behold I introduced kender via a planar portal from krynn, mwa ha ha ha haaaa; player's hated me for that one.) The dwarves were all enslaved to mine for ancient artifacts from long ago eras (and thier stats have changed to reflect this), and the human warrior-slaves were forced to combat the elves; who were the only race to stay free, but many of the older ones were killed off, meaning the current elven race harbors many hatreds for the other races (especially humans). so, really there's no prejudice on my part, it's the pc's not caring.
