[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8688361, member: 22779"] I'm with you on this one [USER=3285]@talien[/USER]. Halflings have barely registered in my gaming in years. The odd PC but, far more often other short races have featured - kobolds particularly. Between halflings and gnomes, they've mostly been completely absent from the circle of players I've gamed with or DMs I've played under. I remember, years ago, a player playing a short, charismatic bard... kobold. Character was well spoken, intelligent, urbane, all the things that most people would associate with either halfling or gnome. It was a 3e game, so, it's not like gnome bard was an unknown thing. So, a few levels into the campaign, I finally asked the player why kobold? Why play a kobold that was pretty much everything that you would expect from either a halfling or a gnome? Her answer was basically that the thought of playing a halfling or a gnome just never occurred to her. Wasn't even on her radar. She later played a halfling in a 4e Dark Sun campaign but, that's probably closer to what a kobold typically is. :p [/QUOTE]
