Gnomes are a small race that come from a small town that most people don't even know is there... because they hide the town with illusion magic and mostly live underground. Halfling towns and their large farms and their orchards go unnoticed because.... Luck? The "secret enclave of small folk no one knows is there" is just done far far better by GnomesWhich could also be an entirely human thing. What about being practical is a halfling thing over a human thing? Maybe it is different for other people, but this just doesn't feel fundamentally different than how I would describe certain "salt of the earth" trope humans. Maybe it is because I am an english major and so the "good old farmer" is such a human trope for me that I can't escape it? Honestly, nothing screams human to me more than these agrarian, simple but practical, good-hearted folk, tropes.</blockquote>
