I'm losing track.I did homebrew halflings for my own game.I did homebrew halflings for my own game.I did homebrew halflings for my own game.I did homebrew halflings for my own game.How many times do I have to say this? Really? I made my own version. I'm happy with my own version. I've told you guys at least twice what my version is.You say the book doesn't specify what commoners can fight with? I gave you a list. All of the things a village would likely have lying around. The book tells us that instead of those things a human commoner might use, because they are what is at hand, halflings use sticks and rocks.Not clubs and slings. Not hand axes and knives. Not sickles and scythes. Sticks and rocks. You say I should either accept that or make my own version. Well, I did homebrew halflings for my own game, because I saw using sticks and rocks as a laughable way to fight off the dangers of something like an Ogre. Per the rules, they would be equally effective punching it. Imagine some 3ft tall halflings driving off a 10 ft tall massive ogre by punching it and throwing little rocks at it.Go to page 220 of Mordenkainen's. Look at that Ogre with the battering ram. The one with three crossbow bolts buried halfway to the fletching in his shoulders. Tell me how you drive him off with some thrown stones, by hand, by some halfling farmers?I did homebrew halflings for my own game, but that doesn't mean I can't point to the book and say "this doesn't make any sense"Well, I guess it must, because I've been insulted, derided and mocked for days because I don't accept the book version.</blockquote>
