Halfling: already the uber-race, now destined for world domination

[esoitl]

i have two halfies and i know exactly what you mean
the saves you can rip out on them is amazing and they get plenty of nice racial benefits

i will say though that i have a dwarf and recently added a warforged and while they have some benefits halflings are much more balanced race capable of filling(IMO) more classes in better ways than do either of the supposed uber races

[Grimdiegn]

Halflings are kewl........... to **** on!

[Sue_Dark]

Halflings are creepy looking.

Nuff said.

I squash your head!

These are the sort of comments that start witch hunts!

Yeah maybe but the only way to tell is to light them on fire and see if they flare up...

So if the cool kids play Dorfs, the goofy kids play halflings, the emo kids play elves and drow, does that mean the outcast kids play Warforged?

...and that leaves no one to play humans!

I play human each and every day of my life. I play DDO to get away from that

[Galantdramon]

WF are awsome!

If you hollow them out and add the right kind of hatches you can fit three or four of us in there. Now that's travelling in style!

So you're saying, that all those super cool WF Casters (Wiz/Sorc) that run around, kicking booty and taking names while self-repairing, are really a couple of halflings, both with Dragon Marks, one a caster, the other said caster's 'significant other/eye candy' running around in a pimped-out suit of really large armor?

What do you mean I'm supposed to put a tag line here?

OK, I have a WF as my first character. (way back when you needed UA for them) So i am forced to defend their honor.

But... as to not stray from the thread... My Halfling cleric can outheal my WF cleric three fold, easy.

[levsix]

I've got a halfling barbarian and he is a pirl (powerful in real life).

I can just see the security checks...

Security officer 1: Human....dwarf....gnoll....elf....

Security Officer 2: Two halfings posing as a warforged.

[Drider]

I want the short fat halflings back.. I don't like the new look halflings. Thats the main reason I didn't play one in DDO. Otherwise they are a good race.

[Grimdiegn]

I agree, halflings are perfect.

3 ft tall, no teeth and flat heads to rest my beer on.

[Xithos]

I am enjoying my shiny new capped halfling

[nbhs275]

I got 28 base sneak damage on my halfy, thats before sneak dice. But is it really worth the tradeoff in STR!?!?! How can I enter the biggest **** competition when Im taking a -1 penalty to dmg!?!?!

8 SA damage you just spent 1/3 of all your action points on...

[Randolf_Drake]

All it would do to take the wind out of our sails is to add in the penalties associated with being a halfling that are in the PHB:

Weapons are sized to our size = less damage.

Weight carried is cut down due to our crappy size.

If both of these were implemented, we would be more balanced. Of course, we all told them this before the game was released, but they didn't listen.

honestly, the enhancements break the game more than any one race, or class.

Without enhancements, we would actually be making DND characters, and turbine wouldnt have to make hella mobs that kill in one hit... since we wouldnt see toons walking around with 300 HP just to be viable *Sigh*

the regular pnp rules do not transfer very smoothly from a turn based system to a live action system. And to think it would, is ignorance.

that is total worth it for most melle based haflign especaly since most of them and TWF and get the sneak twcie as much

I know my Tempest monk spend the AP's and didnt evne think twice about it heck i had a few odd ones left at the end i had to figure out what to spened them on even

A paladin might cry though pallys just have a toen of AP's you tend to have to spend to try and de at least as good as the guy next to you.
