So they don't care if the races aren't treated equally as long as they get the outcome desired.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Maybe due to the backlash of the Lucky feat and other instances of removal of codified luck, people who want halflings to run on luck prefer to hide their preferences so descriptions of luck and pluck are limited to individual cases and not vocally spread to the whole race.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Perhaps many people prefer halfling to be silly. In a compromise to D&D somewhat serious, D&D designers actively avoid situations where halfling silliness would have to be made.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Perhaps many designers just don't like halflings and don't want to put the work into making the fit in the fantasy in the same way as dwarves and elves</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Maybe due to the pushback of fancy, wuxia, and anime like actions, there is a fear of how halflings as realistic warriors would be protrayed. They are only 3 foot tall. Halfling combat could easily look like Yoda wielding his lightsaber. I'm fine with it but I could easily see other not liking it </li> </ol></blockquote><p></p>
