Halflings are short, generally plump people, very much like small
humans. Their faces are round and broad and often quite florid.
Their hair is typicallt curly and the top of their feet is covered
with coars hair. Halflings are highly resistant to poison and magic
and have a limited ability to see in teh dark.
Listed below are the halfling sub-races.
Lightfoot Halfling
Unlike the more segregated strongheart halflings, the lightfoots
of the Forgotten Realms are a common sight in human, elven, and
dwarven lands. Lightfoot halflings are known for their incredible
luck and their love of travel. They tend to be more gregarious than
even their strongheart kin. Unfortunately lightfoot halflings are
not as strong as normal halflings.

Ghostwise Halfling
Ghostwise halflings are the feral, reclusive cousins of lightfoot
and strongheart halflings. They are found most often in the southern
forests of the Realms living in small communities. Ghostwise halflings
are rarely seen in large cities, but occasionally set out to explore
the world for reasons known only to them. Visitors to ghostwise
settlements often report that the halflings have kinship so tight
with their fellows that they can communicate without speaking. Ghostwise
halflings are more agile than their normal kin and gain the ability
set snares once per day. This comes at a cost to their experience
points earned.
