[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8184092, member: 6802378"] The halflings have got a lot of good vibes with the rest of the community. If the local priest needs the help by the collective for a sacred ritual then together can cast amazing effects, for example healing against a plague or the forest recovering faster after a summer fire. Why a halfling could be an adventurer? Because the same reason of the youngest son of the miller in the fairy tale "the puss in boots", his inheritance was too poor, or he couldn't find a good job in the town, simple economic migration. They are welcome in the richest feuds by the lords because these notice they are good subjects and practically a good luck amulet, almost a goose of golden eggs, and halfling pantheon has got enough influence and cotacts to avoid too high taxes, and halfling subjects also give a lot of prestige for those feudal lords. The halflings living in Westeros would go to the right places in the right time to avoid all thouse conflicts and troubles among the noble houses. If the bells of the temple ring warning a coming meance, (the divination magic against natural disasters only need low levels and temples help a lot for that) they go to the underground bunkers, with enough traps in the tunnel net against the intruders. Usally raiders attack the nearest populations in the border, or forgive halfling lives if they pay the "protection", and then the halfing luck cause evil tribes kill each other as mafiga gangs fighting for the territory (bizzare but possible in D&D).
