Halflings are humanoid creatures similar in shape to humans, but around half their size, standing somewhere from 2'8" – 3'4" (0.81–1.02 meters) tall and weighing on average between 30–35 lbs (14–16 kg). Charismatic, they get along well with most of the other races and are known for their curiosity and tendency to collect things. The halfling mind is practical and concerned with their immediate surroundings. They took pleasure in simple things, with few aspiring to greatness in the same manner as some other races. Halfling communities were tightly knit groups found around the world, usually near the settlements of other races. Most halflings didn't recognize the claims of kings or nobles as sovereign rulers but instead looked primarily to their family elders to guide them. This focus on bloodlines enabled halfling traditions to continue for millennia relatively intact.
