Halflings as a race value hard work and simple living. Their settlements are as likely to contain small cottages as they are to have underground dwellings. They tend to keep to themselves and ask the same of other races.
Halflings will usually wear leather or padded armour and they prefer a hand axe, club, spear, or sling as weapons. There is a 10% chance per level that higher level halflings may have magic armour and/or weapons.
Halflings speak their own language and will also be able to speak common, gnome, goblin, and orc.
A halfling has a rosy face with light brown to brown hair and brown to hazel eyes. Their clothes are simple earth colours, grey, tan, or brown.
Their lifespan averages about 150 years.
