[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 8186646, member: 63508"] I don'tknow about these whole walls and pepper things. My whole deal is.. Default D&D assumes fantasy medieval era and fantasy feudalism. Kings give Nobles land. Commoners pay Nobles to live and work in their lands. Nobles control Knights, Mayors, Rangers, and Mages to handle Defense of their lands. Halflings is a race that specificly mentions that [LIST=1] [*]They don't have kings [*]They don't have nobles [*]They don't have a magic tradition [*]They don't have any overt magic powers [*]They have adults who are the size of human children [*]They don't care about wealth as a nation [*]They don't care about glory as a nation [*]They don't care about world politics as a nation [/LIST] So for baseline D&D halflings, you can't use the basic assumptions that other races use to explain their place. And no easy excuse for their position is given. Therefore asa D&D fan, for default halflings to work, you have to not think that hard about it, dig through lore books for the halfling justification, or make one up on your own. [B]This is fine.[/B] It just confuses my that you'd still have to do this for a major iconic race editions in. [/QUOTE]
