I like halflings because my first group had a halfling archer ranger in it. She was new to the game, but immediately latched on and had the greatest time with it.
There was a scene where the group was searching for goblins in the woods. The halfling said, "We'll find them and then eat them alive!" We were kind of used to her saying weird things, though they were not always so evil. Then I said that the goblins had put up warning signs on the trees. "I laugh in the face of warning!" There are also woodland animals staked to trees as warnings. "Are there bunnies?" Yes, there are bunnies. "I cry."
She had the greatest way of narrating her actions, such as this example, so I've really come to love the jolly halflings. Long live the little folk!
