[QUOTE="Scott Christian, post: 8688469, member: 6901101"] Halfling are in my home game. The vlings (similar to elves) and humans were able to procreate for a while. No one knows why or how, but now they are unable. Some say it was the god's will, others say it was magic... some say love had something to do with it. But, one thing is certain, the offspring of the vlings and humans were short. Their name, halfling, actually started out as half-vling.
