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.
