[QUOTE="Lycurgon, post: 8817973, member: 7025583"] Halflings have a special place in my heart since my first character I make at age 8 whose class was Halfling. At the time I was not familiar with Hobbits and the artwork was of an athletic little guy. I think part of what attracted me to them is I was small too at the time. Since then I have remained a fan of halflings and have played a number of them over the years. I am not as keen on halflings with a more hobbit-like body type, I like my halflings to be lithe, slim looking little fellows. But I am not against other people's preferences, if people want their halflings to be totally hobbit like that's fine by me, I might be a little less inclined to play if that was the only way halflings were in someone's campaign world. (Although when I played MERP years ago I chose a Hobbit - although he died within 5 min of game start.) I think this is part of what I like about halflings too. Recently I have been playing a lot of other small races: goblins, kobolds, and mouse-folk. Being underestimated and proving that small doesn't mean meek. Strangely I also like playing big, tough races like Half-Orc, or Goliath. While I do play humans and Half-Elves, and Elves etc, medium sized characters are not generally as exciting for me. I like Halfling luck and their racial luck feats they can get. Saving others when they roll 1s feels really good, even if it is not the best feat.
