Malicious Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 When you think FL halflings, do you think short, stocky, hairy "Lord of the Rings" halflings with ever-perms, or do you think more DnD, mini-humans (i.e. short, yet thinly proportionate)? Just wondering... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinblades713 Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 I think of Frodo... with whatever features they have in bio. Almost always curly hair... hairy feet, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a-guitarist Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Eshaine, aside from being a person to listen to all the time, is someone you should really listen to here... the Halfling helpfile is one of the best for the races. It goes further than just "halfings get this and this." but explaining their relationship with some of the other races (Humans, Dwarves, and Elves, I believe). As for me, I see a magic card from back in the day of a beer swilling short guy with a bucket on his head. That's right, no matter how honourable, kind, or royal a halfling is in game, they all have a tin bucket on their head to me. a-g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a-guitarist Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I never knew I was "old" until I went to my friend's store. He owns and runs the local card/rpg/geek store. He tells me to pull out my deck next time I come out, so I bring Counter Spell deck, sit down and get asked, "What type is your deck?" I respond with, "Oh, uh, straight blue, counter." "No... type 1? 1.5?" Then they looked at my cards and said, "I've never seen half of these...." When did Alliances become old? Then the other people start firing off "I'll swing for 5 with " "What the hell is ?" "Oh, character's get -1 -1 for blocking this guy." "What the hell? We used to call it, -1 -1 for blocking, no fancy names." Then they told me I was old. I left my hat on, which I was about to take off, because if they'd make fun of me for my deck... my receding hairline would only cement my uncoolness. a-g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retarded card gets +x/+x where x equals the age of your oldest grandmother divided by the number of pets you have, including past and present. If you also play Pokemon, x equals 0.

Guest emp_newb Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I imagine Willow and his community from the movie Willow... OMFG CELERITY! You just got +10 from me. Willow was one of my FAVORITE movies as a child, and I still watch it with no small amount of nostalgia now. Im so glad someone else remembers Willow. I used to call halflings peks with my dumb giants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-guitarist Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Why do things come up like this? I had forgotten about Willow for years... then I hear the name of my Cousin's kid... Elora. Yes, named after the kid. I feel horrible for that poor girl... she will never find a suitable mate. Not only does she have the geekiest name in the world- her father has more tattoo's of skulls, dead ladies in sexual promiscuities, and other down right scary crap, one of the gnarliest goatee's, and a look of Charles Manson's kindness. Although, he's a hell of a dad and a great guy. Then I hear about something "I'll hit you with a stoning acorn." While gimping from my car to the geek store, and now this. a-g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malicious Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 "Suitable mate"? Who are you, Jane Goodall? And how does a halfling from Willow have 25 dex? They don't even walk, they hobble! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorCleric Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I always figured the high dex was for damage evasion, along the lines of trying to stomp on one of those big yoga balls. You might slam down on it pretty hard, but it's going to get out from under you, bounce off a wall and whack you in nuts. It'll be in the same shape it was when you took the swing, and all you have to show for it is a ****ed up knee and some swollen potatoes unless you have a good core workout routine.

Mindflayer Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Need some inspiration for a halfling thief description? Just take a look at Nekky's player picture. Notice how the camera man towers over these two Australian halflings? Upon closer inspection you can see that Nekky has blackjacked his victim and successfully pried the pint glass, with minimal spilling. Don't let his wide halfling grin fool you. There's a chestbuster set up right behind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HouselessRogue Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 My nerd is going to be hanging out here but there are three types of halflings. The majority are normal halflings. Little hairy feet. Frodo looking ****s. Then you have the tallfellows who look like little elves really and generally aren't hairy at all. Last you have the stout who are more akin to gnomes and dwarves then the other two types of halfling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
