They can be lured by wealth, but tend to spend rather than hoard. Halflings have ruddy skin, hair that is black and straight, and brown or black eyes. Halfling men often grow long sideburns, but rarely beards or mustaches. They prefer practical clothing, and would rather wear a comfortable shirt than jewelry. Halflings stand about 3 feet tall, and commonly live to see 150.

Halflings got along well with most of the other races and were known for their curiosity and tendency to collect things. The term "halfling" was derived from the fact that a halfling was around half of the size of a human, but otherwise very similar in appearance.

Their lifestyle lends itself well to agriculture and most who live in the halfling village of Rindol Field are indeed farmers.

  • Halflings are a race of short & gluttonous humanoid creatures. Like humans they have five fingers on each hand, but only four toes on each foot. In addition, their feet are covered in coarse hair. They inhabit several domains, Mellow Hills and Briarthorn Burrows among them. They live in small homes with round doors, built partially underground, which usually have grass roofs.
  • Hobbits or Halflings are a race of short human-like folk inhabiting various realms, primarily the Shire in western Middle-earth. As the name implies, halflings are roughly half the size of a human, though otherwise very similar in appearance. They are typically good-natured homebodies with a passionate love for food and family. However, their curious nature sometimes leads them into adventure, where their small stature, charm and good luck make them well-suited for the role of thief. In areas where hobbits and humans coexist, hobbits refer to humans as "Big Folk" and are themselves often admirably called "Little Folk".

  • Stirlanders in the southern and central parts of the province are particularly notable for their dislike of Halflings - resenting the 1500-year-old decision that stole their best farmland (The Moot) and gave it to the "Shorties", and the belief that all Halflings are thieves is stronger here than almost anywhere else in the Empire. In the town of Wördern, there is a tradition when celebrating a child's birthday, to make a straw-man the size of a Halfling, and stuff it with treats and candies that he "stole" from the children. Then, it is hung from a tree while blindfolded children beat it with sticks until it breaks and "gives back" the candy. Locals deny that drunks have occasionally used a real Halfling for this.

  • Halflings are a race short in numbers as well as size. Those who have not become an integral part of Human society now inhabit an independent pastoral state, which is wholly contained within the Empire and lives under its protection. The origins of Halflings stretch back at least as far as those of Humans, but, now, partly due to their peaceable nature, their numbers are on the decline.
  • Creatures of the earth who love a warm hearth and pleasant company, halflings are folks of few enemies and many friends. Halflings are widely dispersed throughout Faerûn and survive by escaping the notice of big folk. Halflings (or hin, as they often call themselves) are easily distinguished by their small size, though they dislike being judged solely on account of their short height. Like humans, halflings have regional variations in facial features and complexions. They have the same general appearance as humans, except that their physical qualities are all diminutive.
  • Halflings (or Hin) can be found all over the Shores, but mostly in their native villages of Pinedale and Narrowisle Crossing. While there is only one kind of halfling in the world, the halflings of Pinedale and Narrowisle Crossing often sort themselves into Wise Ones and Curious Ones. The Wise Ones being those who are traditionalists, not very adventurous and down-to-earth. Some Curious Ones may call the Wise Ones for Lazy Ones. The Curious Ones on the other hand are non-traditionalists; they tend to travel and go on adventures more, or become traveling merchants. Some halflings, perhaps of a more cynical kind, also sort people into Worried Ones (those who worry too much or are sad and depressed), Broken Ones (crazy or evil ones, something of the worst one can be), and the Other Ones – any
  • Halfling is another name for J. R. R. Tolkien's Hobbit and is a fictional race sometimes found in fantasy novels and games. In many settings, they are similar to humans except about half the size. Dungeons & Dragons began using the name halfling as an alternative to hobbit for legal reasons. Originally, "Halflin" was the Scots word hauflin, pre-dating The Hobbit and Dungeons & Dragons. It meant an awkward rustic teenager, who is neither man nor boy, and so half of both. Another word for halflin is hobbledehoy or hobby. The word halfling was used by Shakespeare to mean a boy-sized man.
  • L’origine della razza degli halfling è stata per molto tempo oggetto di studio dei più esimi ricercatori e storici di Entara; c’è chi li fa risalire alla Creazione di Darak durante la Seconda Era, chi indica Kalidus come fondatore della razza, chi invece amalgama le due precedenti con proprie considerazioni, giungendo alle conclusioni più svariate. In seguito al Grande Disastro, gli halfling che risedevano nel Primo Impero seguirono elfi, nani ed umani nella migrazione verso sud, dove sull’Isola Nuova venne fondata la Repubblica.
  • A Halfling is a small well rounded being which resembles a Human in many ways. They are a fun people and have many sneaky ways.

  • frame|HalflingHalflings ou metadílios, como são conhecidos em português, são seres imaginários criados inspirados nos hobbits de John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, o criador da saga do anel, como componentes do RPG Forgotten Realms. Como o termo hobbit é uma marca registrada em poder da família Tolkien, nomes alternativos vieram a ser criados. De meras cópias dos hobbits, os halflings, com o tempo ganharam identidade própria, perdendo até mesmo os pés peludos.
  • Halflings are a short hume race about half the height of humans, thus often confused with human children. They have higher body fat ratios and are characterized by their large, furry feet and squarish pointed ears. Other races also remark on the redness of their cheeks regardless of their skin color. Due to the toughness of their feet, they do not wear shoes. Their feet are padded to allow silent treading and they are quite skilled at moving undetected otherwise. They also have an earth sense, connecting to the soil and plants through their feet on the ground. Were a halfling to wear shoes, they would sacrifice their prowling advantage and break their earth connection.
