Halflings resemble humans in many ways, they have similar hair, skin and eye colorations and a similar body structure. Halflings differ in that they have an average height of about 1 meter, have very curly hair and very large wide leathery soled feet. Because of this many halflings find shoes of any kind to be horribly uncomfortable and prefer to go barefoot whenever possible. Halflings' features tend to be softer and rounder and their ears are slightly pointed. Curly hair is common. Most Halflings have thick hair or the topsides of their feet and toes. Beards are not considered to be a halfling trait and most cannot grow anything more than sideburns.
Society
Peace Loving
Halflings as a rule desire just a little bit of peace and quiet. Which is not to say that they are unwilling or unable to fight in times of strife. Quite the contrary in fact, for so strong is their desire to return to their relaxed lifestyle that they will fight all the harder to return things to a state of peace.
Commune Society
Halflings believe in helping your neighbor when it's needed and most halfling societies are notoriously generous to those they consider to be part of the community. Going as far as to help new arrivals construct a home in their settlement and making sure they have plenty to eat until they become self-sufficient.
