Halflings are a jovial people who like to live their lives without making much of a fuss, although a few of them do feel the wanderlust of an adventurer's lifestyle appealing. A majority of halflings follow Idun, the goddess of Luck. Halflings lean more toward primal magic than their arcane-minded gnomish cousins.
Most halfling societies are highly agrarian. Usually, halflings are vegetarian, preferring legumes and vegetables over meat. Most inns are able to cater to this, as halflings are known as a courteous and honest people. Some people of other races prefer halfling food, albeit in larger portions.
Most halflings stand between three and four feet tall, which limits their options in combat. Daggers, quarterstaves, slings, blowguns, and shortbows are popular weapons, as are lighter armors.
Halflings live slightly longer than humans, becoming on average years old. Halfling names commonly include a plant or flower.
