Sharing one similarity while touting dozens of dfferences does not make two things alike.  And? You keep saying this. It is of absolutely no relevance. The 4e Halfling closer resembling the 3e Halfling more than the 3e Halfling resembled the AD&D Halfling does not make the 4e Halfling any more closely related to the long-default land locked, diminutive, D&D Halfling of hairy feet, which was the initial point I was making. Environment, culture, and appearance. All of these things are very, very, different from the 3e Halfling to the 4e Halfling basd on what I've read so far. The 4e Halfling is apparently native to warm (if not tropical) climates, which has both changed their appearance, mannerisms, and society greatly from that of Halflings in previous editions. I don't at all, actually -- as noted the 3e Halfling is my favorite and I have a particular disdain for Hobbity Halflings. My only point was that the 4e Halfling is a radical departure from the long-standing D&D Halfling standard (the 3e Halfling, not so much).</blockquote>
