Heh – I once designed a race of Dark Hobbits, the descendants of Samwise the Strong in the alternate reality where he took the Ring and defeated Sauron.

I have to say – I have no intention to play Pathfinder because I’m not crazy on 3.5’s mechanics – my groups don’t enjoy them, and I don’t like DMing them.

But I would seriously buy some system neutral stuff like this.

With all those skill points from levels in rogue, halfling adventurers are very likely to speak Abyssal. Here’s how it works.

DM: The inscription is written in a strange, ancient script. Does anyone speak Abyssal?
Halfling: Oh, huh. When I rolled up my character I forgot to pick languages! Can I choose one now as Abyssal?
DM: Sigh…

Infernal would have been better.

I once played an obese elf. You should have seen the incredulity in the faces of my fellow players. One even shouted “elves can’t be fat!”

I’ve also played a dwarven wizard with claustrophobia and a lawful good necromancer who animated undead for “research purposes”.

Thin halflings are NOTHING!

I think current halflings ARE agents from the abyss! Hasn’t anyone else noticed that our ever so hungry, and slightly chubby, halflings are now these slender Jenny Craig clients?

It’s because they are DEMON SPAWN! They aren’t even halflings!

Wow–nice! Paizo always puts a cool twist on familiar creatures! Their revision of Goblins is still one of my very favs–they even have a theme song!

Really, a halfling’s life carries a lot of sloth in it, so I’m not suprised.

They probably think that kinder are the epitome of evil. I do.

It must be the taint of Frodo……
