[QUOTE="J-H, post: 8297260, member: 7020951"] I don't care for the 5e halfling art, but I get that it's hard to do. My boys are 4 & 7, and we have a number of melee weapons and shields made from [URL='https://www.warfarebyducttape.com/']Warfare by Duct Tap[/URL]e plans. It's usually the two of them versus me, and I can attest that it actually can be difficult for a human to fight a pair of aggressive halfling-sized foes. Blocking down low is hard, and so is hitting at their legs without bending over (we try to avoid head hits). It's pretty easy for a short fast-moving barbarian to charge in with his shield up, grab on to my legs, and just start stabbing, while I still have to defend against the slightly taller one who's trying to take my arm off with a 42" long greatsword. So yeah, halflings are combat viable despite their shorter reach... [/QUOTE]
