Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chaosmancer" data-source="post: 8190387" data-attributes="member: 6801228">I have read it all.But when I asked what other skills, since you seemed to take offense at me wondering if they had some entry that gave them incredible skills in engineering or carpentry or really any of the things being listed that they could use to hide their villages, you refused to answer.You just referenced this " Since a halfling community usually has less than a hundred members, cooperation is critical to their society, and each resident performs regular chores or offers benefits that support the population." as evidence that they all work together to do other crafts. When I pointed out that "other crafts" is so vague that I can make the same claim for humans. And, since the idea of practically hiding the village without the use of magic was based, seemingly, on these other crafts, then humans can do the same thing.To which you replied "a False Equivalence(equating skills to their luck and divine aid)"Which, by the way, your claim since you seemed to have forgotten, is that the luck is divine aid too. So, I was equating skill to divine aid, according to you. Which, like I said, really leaves us with this. Why can't halfling villages be found? Because the Gods don't want them to be found. Why can halflings grow so much food? Because the gods want to them grow so much food. Why do halflings survive attacks, on the rare occasions that they are attacked? Because the gods want to them surviveIf a halfling adventurer avoids a trap or an Ambush? It is because the Gods wanted them to (after all it was either their divine luck or the whispers of the Goddess who scouts ahead for them) Why does a dwarf craft an exquisite blade? Because they are master metalworkers who have perfected their art over centuries. Why does an elven song sound so beautiful? Because they are a people who love beauty, and will spend centuries perfecting a song. Why are humans always pushing the boundaries of the world? Because they are a people with a burning ambition to stretch beyond what is known. Why do halflings do anything? Because of the Gods. The gods provide them luck, protection, food, skills, everything for you always comes back to the halfling gods specifically interfering to make it happen. And now you want to accuse me of having never read the material we are discussing. Because I don't want to except that the gods are somehow so much more active in the favor of halfling existence than they are for any other race.</blockquote>
