Their most prominant feature are their large hairy feet which are displayed for all to see as they eschew footwear.

They are quite strong and nimble, intelligent and quite capable of matching the dwarves stein for stein of ale.

Background
Halflings are the creation of Bristlebane, King of Thieves. As their name implies, they are about half the height of humans, and often mistaken for human children by the less observant. Friendly and good-natured, halflings are amiable to just about anyone who doesn't show them open hostility. Halflings love their food and ale and are self sufficient in growing their own food and in the culinary arts. Nothing pleases them more than sitting by a fire in the cool evenings with family and friends, recounting stories of past adventures. As creations of Bristlebane, halflings tend to fall into all manner of mischief although none of their adventures actually start out as mischief! Due to that nature, halflings are durable survivors, falling into and finding their way out of trouble. They are formidable in battle when forced into that situation.
Originally from Rivervale, halflings now live in their beloved Baubbleshire Thicket. They build houses into grass-covered mounds of earth, with rounded doorways and low ceilings.
Faith
Religious halflings who walk the path of the healer and crusader remain devoted to their maker, the crafty Bristlebane. Those who follow the calling of the druidic lifestyle worship Karana, the rain god who gives life to their plants.
