[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 9291346, member: 22779"] No. It's because people can't simply accept that halflings just aren't that popular. They've been at the bottom of the ranking (or very nearly) since pretty much day 1. Yet, when I point this out, I'm told that "facts don't support your case". Despite the fact that it's been shown repeatedly that halflings score just a bit better than gnomes and maybe half-orcs, depending on which poll we want to look at. At no point have halflings EVER been popular. THIS is the point I keep making and for some reason I keep getting told I'm absolutely wrong and that I only hate halflings. :erm: It's utterly bizarre since at no point have I ever been accused of disliking gnomes despite me saying exactly the same thing about gnomes. Show me a single example from D&D, in any edition, where halflings are popular. Why do you think 4e tried to rewrite halfligns? Why do you think 3e rewrote halflings? Why were halflings rewritten to be Kender in Dragonlance despite every other race staying exactly standard? Every setting rewrites halflings - Eberron, Dark Sun, Etc. WHy? Because they are so massively popular? [/QUOTE]
