D&D General Wildly Diverse "Circus Troupe" Adventuring Parties

Read it? Yes of course Tolkien mistrusts the powerful. The thing that makes Gandalf and Galadriel good people is that they distrust themselves. And of course that is the whole reason Gandalf cannot take the ring to Mordor himself. The whole book is about how important the contribution of ordinary people with little strength, skill or special abilities is, working through his trauma from WWI.

You are, of course, right.

My current group is a dragonborn, a musk cat, a CAST, and three humans.

CAST? What's that?

Well I personally play a lot of Halflings .... and I am part of all of "ECMO3's groups". It is probably my favorite race or maybe Human is, but it is top 2 for me personally.

I don't see a lot of other people I play with who play Halflings though and it is one of the rarest PHB races overall in games I have played, which include a lot of different groups. Aasimar and Tieflings are rare too.

Hmmmm…it’s been a hot minute since I’ve played a halfling. I’ve statted out significantly more than I’ve played, TBH.

Gnomes and Halflings are so unpopular that despite EVERY OTHER PHB race getting their own book, they had to split one between the two.

It’s not because of their lack of popularity, it’s because they’re half the size, DUH!
