[QUOTE="BrokenTwin, post: 8818393, member: 7017978"] In Fantasy Craft (never actually got to play the system, but that's another story) halflings are called Pech, and I had a setting idea that I'd still love to port over where the pech and the rootwalkers (FC's treant equivalent) lived in a semi-symbiotic relationship. Not in the biological sense, but in the socialogical sense. By assisting each other in areas where their respective sizes made things difficult, they both benefitted. Also made the Shire aesthetic really easy to work in, as the pech would build their homes under hills and the roots of the large trees they would help cultivate. My favorite halfling character that I've played... was probably in AiME (an actual name-brand hobbit!). She had been shunned in her village for her very... aggressive and proactive response to some Big Folk raiding her home, left to travel and became a Slayer (AiME's barbarian equivalent). After meeting some friendly dwarves and gaining the Foe-Hammer subclass (granting her the ability to wear heavy armor without penalty), she took to dressing and acting like a dwarf out in the "big world" as a form of cover. Ignorant big folk were a lot more likely to accept her as an odd dwarf than whatever the heck a hobbit was. She was rowdy, loud, and a blast to play. Won more than a few feats of strength thanks to her class features. [/QUOTE]
