[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8692967, member: 22779"] No, it really isn't. I'm using the numbers that everyone is looking at. 1 in 20 characters. That means that 95% of characters made AREN'T halflings. If I was going to get rid of both and not replace them, sure, I'd agree with you. But, I have repeatedly stated that I would replace them with stuff that fills a similar niche - an anthropomorphic race with small size fits the bill pretty well. And Warforged certainly cover the gnome techno niche. Note, the "tabaxi" thing I never said. That was someone else. But, by the same token, if elves and half-elves were scraping the bottom of the barrel? Yup, you bet I would eject them. Why are we keeping stuff that no one actually plays? And, yes, less than 5% is no-one. Especially when the two new races, neither of which is in the SRD, neither of which has any real traction in the history of the game, are both doubling the numbers we see from either gnomes or halflings. It's crazy to me to keep trying to make something popular when it has obviously failed to gain any popularity over forty years of the game. Halflings and gnomes have had their chance. Let's get some fresh ideas into the game. [/QUOTE]
