Ten Reasons Why I Like Playing Halfling Characters

1.       No one asks you to be party leader.

2.       In fact, everyone insists upon you not leading the party.

3.       To be honest, no one wants you making decisions at all.

4.       You can use almost any other party member as a mount.

5.       No matter how much sugar or caffeine you consume, it’s all “role-playing.”

6.       No need to pay attention since everyone either forgets you’re there or tells you what to do.

7.       Quoting The Hobbit or LotR doesn’t get you yelled at for breaking character.

8.       Sneaking, squeezing, or wriggling out of danger.

9.       Traps designed for medium intruders. Halflings don’t get decapitated by scything blade traps.

10.   Coming up with silly character names is expected, not derided.
