Clever and capable, halflings love travel, and have great curiosity and an easygoing nature. Despite their goodnatured outlook, halflings are survivors, cunning and resourceful enough to survive in a world filled with large, dangerous creatures. When halflings travel through communities and countries populated by other races, they are quick to make friends and often end up at the centre of traveling or adventuring groups.
Exasperated adventuring companions claim that Halflings invented curiosity. With their small size and uncanny stealth, halflings can go nearly anywhere undetected. Remaining undetected, however, is rarely any fun. Halflings enjoy the benefits of their small size, and many secretly wonder how bigger races can ever do anything quietly.
Halflings enjoy a mixed lot of traveling companions; too many members of just one race makes for boring company. Although open-minded in the extreme, halflings can occasionally find dwarves too dour and serious for their tastes. Halflings particularly enjoy the company of gnomes.
