As has been pointed out to you, they literally have a god of defense and warfare (Avoreen). They also have a god of stealth, adventure, and bravery (Brandobaris). Halflings are meant to stand and fight for what's theirs.Neither of these compute. See below for reasons.Except that you don't seem to understand what the basic idea of halflings actually is. You've made up your own idea that has little in common with how halflings have actually been depicted.At this point, I'm willing to bet more than you, at least when it comes to fantasy worlds. You seem to forget that magic is a thing.Shockingly, not every setting is the Realms, and even more shockingly, there are actually decades or longer between major cataclysmic events in the Realms. And even more shockingly, halflings warriors and spellcasters exist and are equally as powerful as the warriors and spellcasters of every other race. And since both their gods and their write-ups agree that halflings are the type to go out and adventure, it's quite likely that there are a significantly large number of halflings with class levels. There may even be more, proportionately speaking, retired halfling adventurers per halfling town than any other race! You really think they're going to let themselves get pushed away?Good for you, because I have no idea what sickened you about what I wrote. The idea that halflings may be <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerrilla_warfare#History" target="_blank">guerilla fighters</a>? Because that's a concept that has been in use for thousands of years and likely predates conventional war, so if you thought I was referring to any specific war, you're wrong.Who says that they have to be better than anyone? Do you not play or allow humans because they are no better than the average person?</blockquote>
