That's one. Second, what is the source of halfling luck? it is one of two things. 1) Halflings are so innocent and pure that the universe warps itself to protect them.  --  This has major bad taste in my mouth implications for the rest of the sentient races, who are called out as explicitly protecting halfling villages in the PHB2) Halfling Gods directly interfere in a manner above and beyond anything done by other gods. ---- And this... leads me to as why? If the truth of halflings is that their gods protect them more than any other god protects their worshippers, why? If we are dealing with a massively divinely blessed race, why aren't we exploring that? There are implications of a culture that is built upon the fact of divine intervention to keep them safe and happy. So, sure, if we want to claim they are blessed by the gods in a manner unheard of by any other race, then we can go with that. But can we at least acknowledge it? And acknowledge that in many other circumstances "divine intervention" is seen as a weak narrative device?</blockquote>
