I'm seeing more of the dozens of similarities while you're touting a single difference (land to water) as huge.Long-default ended 8 years ago. Try and stay with current events.And as for your point, you said "predecessors" with no qualifier. Last I checked, 3e came before 4e, thus making the 3e halfling (who is nearly identical to the 4e version) one of his predecessors. Maybe you should be more clear in saying "I don't like that 4e halflings aren't 1e/2e hobbit-clones, but for some reason don't have a problem with the 3e halfling."Have you ever actually read the Halfling entry in the PHB and looked at any of the pictures? A culture of easygoing, enthusiastic travellers who view adventuring as an opportunity for excitement and personal gain. Aside from moving onto river boats (which isn't a big stretch, since nomad-by-boat was already mentioned in the 3e writeup), their culture is very much identical to 3e.Appearance-wise... the 3e sketch in the halfling section is nearly identical to the halfling head study in the 4e races and classes. Braids and cornrows have been with us as long as we have had Lidda.The 3e halfling was the biggest change ever made to the halfling, and 4e's version is just a small evolution of that same design. If you have a problem with the distance from the hobbit that the 4e halfling moves, then you should have a problem with the 3e halfling since it was the one that made 95% of the changes.</blockquote>
