Halflingedit

From NWNWiki

Halflings are clever, capable, and resourceful survivors. They are notoriously curious, and show a daring that many larger people can't match. They can be lured by wealth, but tend to spend rather than hoard. Halflings have ruddy skin, hair that is black and straight, and brown or black eyes. Halfling men often grow long sideburns, but rarely beards or moustaches. They prefer practical clothing, and would rather wear a comfortable shirt than jewelry. Halflings stand about 3 feet tall, and commonly live to see 150.

"You may be short, but you're quick and full of spirit. You've recently wandered into human settlements, eager to see what you can learn from the tall-folk."

[edit] Notes

• Often stereotyped as jolly thieves and pranksters.
• Slang for the halfling is "Hin".
• This race is effectively a copy of the Hobbits from the books of J.R.R Tolkien. However, legal matters meant that they had to be given a different name in order to avoid copyright infringements. They later evolved into their own race.
