ist with other races, forming small halfling communities within various cities and making
themselves indispensable to the larger society by creating thriving businesses and providing
numerous products and services.
Notably, halflings are excellent with livestock and excel at trades like milling, bee-keep-
ing, cooking, tailoring, and the like. It’s likely that any halfling you encounter has their hand
in an artisan business or has some amount of investment of crowns in the local craftsmen.
Of course, not every halfling goes into business and members of their race do act as thieves,
Scoia’tael fighters, doctors, and the like.
On the whole, however, halflings generally keep to their own and avoid getting involved
in other people’s problems. It’s not that a halfling won’t go out of their way to help someone
but they’ll usually need a good reason to do so. Largely, halflings have maintained their un-
steady place in human society by not causing trouble or making a fuss. Unfortunately, when
tensions are high, halflings are often the first to suffer due to their size.
