Halfling
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Halflings are extremely gregarious and outgoing creatures, with round,
childlike faces; big, affable grins; and extremely hairy feet.  They stand
about 3 feet tall, and otherwise appear to be very small humans.  They are
very proud of their fur-covered feet, and never cover them.

Halflings are masterful merry-makers and deeply enjoy the Good Things in
life.  They enjoy a lively song, and they are considered the best story-
tellers in the realm.  They also love a really bad joke, especially if it's
at the expense of the 'big folk'.  These jests often involve a well-placed
taunt, or the pocketing of small 'misplaced' goods.

Halflings are peace-loving by nature, and are particularly inoffensive and
non-threatening.  However, they are also some of the bravest creatures in
the realm, able to face intimidating threats that would make a hardened
minotaur warrior balk.
