These small, peaceful folk are mainly interested in farming, eating, drinking, and living the “good life,” but they make determined warriors when pushed. Halflings are stocky and round-faced; they almost never wear beards. They react well to anyone who sets a generous table or offers to share his ale. Anyone who seems “wild” or “dangerous” will get a cool reception from a village halfling, though city-bred or adventuring cousins will be less timid. A bad reaction usually means snubs and closed doors rather than combat. Rare is the halfling who will attack someone who hasn’t threatened his life or home. Halflings are 1 1/2 feet shorter than normal humans of their ST but have normal weight for humans of their ST. Many halflings have an Addiction to tobacco; a small minority have Alcoholism. Some replace Chummy and Staid with Xenophobia. Many, even if they have no need for it, have higher levels of Silence.
