Halfling cavalry don’t fear the wall. Fear is a huge part of whether people survive danger, whether townsfolk repel bandits, etc. A lower level fiend that could wipe out a human village will have a harder time with a halfling village because the halflings aren’t going to panic, and they are extremely unlikely to flub anything they try to do, which means they are more likely to try ballsy tactics, and less likely to have Hail Marys blow up in their faces.Also, 5e totally misunderstands the lethality of slings, as a tangential note. A village where everyone is reasonably skilled with one and not afraid to use them in defense of thier town is a place where the incentive to raid needs to be much higher.</blockquote>
