[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8176989, member: 93670"] Eberron and dark sun have fairly distinctive roles for halflings in the world. I think gnomes were one of the races who were killed off in dark sun but they are pretty distinct in eberron with secret police empowered as judge jury &executioner. Plus they have the library of korranberg, elemental binders working with cannith to make airships, & house sivvis who are basically magic telegraph network operators and magic printing presses Dark sun halflings are cannibal raider tribes that I believe migrate. Eberron halflings break into a few groups plus normal people * first you've got the dinosaur riding desert dwelling clans with some spiritual links to their dinos. *second you have house jorasco who are skilled in medicine & healing. You don't hold to a church if your sick... you might go to a magewright healer for little or common stuff like broken arms or birth but if your really bad off you go to jorasco. * third you have the botomar clan &similar but smaller less successful groups. Think of the mafia. *lastly you have regular people who happen to be halflings. Mist likely they have a lot in common with the people of the region/city/eth that they live in. [/QUOTE]
