Message: <blockquote data-quote="amerigoV" data-source="post: 5869978">I find that is a general problem with the so-called classic fantasy. 1/2 Orcs are just barbarians, dwarves are Scottish miners, elves are pointy-eared tree-huggers. All are basically Star Trek aliens -- humans with a bit of make up.Its hard to make the races unique without making them so strange that players are either not interested or that it breaks the world (law of unintended  consequences). I have a 15 month and 2+ year old running my house now - halfling sized folk, to say the least. The top shelf is not even the question - they have to climb to sit in a chair or couch. The 2+ year old can just snag things off the counter edge and can climb up on the table if a chair is nearby. Steps are doable, but slow. Dogs are a menace (dogs rushing to eat or go outside tend to leave a wake of scattered children on the floor). Its quite a different view from their perspective - its amazing what one finds when you get on their level. That does not help with your what to do with them issue, but I think that the little folk would not integrate that well into a human society after watching my kids totter about the house.</blockquote>
