[QUOTE="Mecheon, post: 8819967, member: 6801776"] Because at the moment, Halflings are defined as "Humans, but small". That's their entire thing at the moment. This is in contrast to the other playable races of "Humans", "Fey-descended mortal spirits who can relive past lives rather than dream", "Underground adapted workers tied to the very earth and stone", "Another fey descended group, who are either heavily into the nature side or tinkering", "Draconic empire-building humanoids", "People with the blood of demons/devils/etc running through their veins, leading to a distinct appearance","Children of a scorned god, made for fightin' an' orcin'.". I also can't help but remember a few other posters saying, up-thread, rather than work on making halflings more distinctive as their own niche, we should just remove all of the other small races from the game so halflings are the only small ones. Which, yeah, nah, not liking that. You wouldn't even need to go hard to give Halflings a thing. "Halflings are stupid-resistant to mental corruption" is well in LotR vibes given how hobbits handled the Ring. "Halflings are incredibly stealthy to the point of absurdity" is another one. You gotta lean into those hats so there's more to them rather than just 'Small human' [/QUOTE]
