IMO being too much like humans makes them uninteresting to play and seeming smaller and weaker is not a good way to entice players in.Sticking somewhat within the guidelines of the OP, I'm thinking that in 4e:1) I'll make halflings look radically different. In my case I'm thinking of a toned down version the Quickling pictures Traycor posted on another thread. I think this has a very good "river rat" feel and it will tempt my players. 2) I'll make them better than humans at something the players value: in my case speed. I'm intending to give halflings a slighly faster than human speed. Then my players will have a real choice with a smaller but faster race.I know what I'm doing isn't really like any "halfling" we've seen before, but frankly I think this is what is needed to make them a viable race for my players, and I suspect the same is true for many other groups.Edit: missing word</blockquote>
