Halflings speak to me on a spiritual level. If there was any fantasy race I would be, without a shadow of a doubt, it would be a kindly lightfoot halfling who doesn’t like to get in the way or make a fuss.
This reminds me of a scene in Austin Powers when Fat Bastard decides instead of being paid with money, he wants to eat Dr Evil’s midget clone and makes a song about it.
Thats the opposite of my kobold, everyone calls me food or slave and I call myself a grappling hook. My team: I'll use my grabbing hook Me: I am a grappling hook
actually the less weight you have the less you suffer from beeing tossed down ... if you drop an elephant a goat a cat and an ant 10 m down the chances of survival goes up the smaller you are - elephant is dead - goat probably dies - cat survives (or pays 1/9th hp) - and the ant is 100% alive
Mr.2ndAmendment Just be a Monk with Slow fall or be a class with a class with access to Feather fall (hell your teammates can have feather fall and there’s a few classes that can get it so fall damage becomes less of a problem) but tbh fall damage has never been that big of a problem at least for me (maybe if it happens in the first few levels but there is a maximum damage for fall damage, don’t remember what it is but I don’t believe it’s too bad.) Which I personally think is dumb and doesn’t make much sense but whatever.
I had a lot of fun playing a halfling rogue. Once, I stole a drunk guys gold and just ducked under him. He couldn't find me. I made 200 gold that night, talked my way out of being arrested, and made the local leader of a huge city super angry at some traveling barbarian group. The next day I stole that barbarian groups most prized possessions and blamed it on the previously mentioned city leader. And that was BEFORE I got an invisibility cape (like from harry potter) and boots of speed that let me move 50 ft, 100 on a double action. I ran on water once. It was fun. I've also been thrown at a dragon, a giant worm, and a magic wall before because I'm the lightest and smallest in the party. And we have a dragonborn. He's the one that throws me a lot. But I can backstab him, so it's fine
I'm in a Pathinder campaign right now with a Halfling Life Oracle. I'm essentially a healbot, with some nifty role-play stuff going on. I have 18 Dex and Charisma... and only 6 Strength. He has a Light Crossbow... and that's it. If I'm in melee range, I just have to run away. Everyone else is a new player. We have 2 fighters, a monk, and a ranger- all humans. I guess a player with a rogue is gonna join our party sooner or later. My halfling's big theme is that he's paranoid of everybody (he has the reclusive Oracle curse). Along with spellcraft and stuff, he has ranks in sense motive, stealth, bluff, and disguise, because he's really furtive and untrusting. In short, I'm a random midget conspiracy theorist with divine powers and no strength in a party of hardened warriors.
I love the idea of halfling wardog cavalry. And the Ghastly halfling with it’s boos to wisdom and 30ft telepathy makes a very good base for a cavalier.
I would love to see a barbarian halfling get a nat 20 on a strength check. DM: there is a 200 ton boulder blocking the way, what do you do? Halfling: I would like to rage and lift the boulder. DM: OK roll for it Halfling: aha! Nat 20, making it 25. DM: *sigh* you lift with your back with the shear strength you lift the boulder and hold long enough for the rest of the party to crawl underneath with just enough space for your Goliath friend. After they are safely through you let this rock fall behind you as your rage fades.
@@robinschop446 Unfortunately, they don't stack otherwise you're luck would simply break the roof. Which makes me wonder.... if you combine luck with second chance feat... nothing says that you can't use them in the same turn....🤔
Hands down my favorite Halfling that i played is Sesto Diablo (assumed name). The Swav AF Halfling swashbuckler rogue who worked hard to achieve his goals. Once a pirate off the sword coast, he came to the main lands because his ship and crew were destroyed by a Kraken. He eventually found his way to Irabor (where his adventure started), he fought hard for what he believed in, eventually having a hand in taking down Vecna the arch-lich himself. Through the whole campaign the party was trying to solve a string of murders, they all had one thing in common. They were found dead in their hotel room, ran through with some sort of blade (it was later found out to be a scimitar) and a single blackened rose left on the corpse. No signs of a struggle, no forced entry, nothing. This mystery spread through-out Faerun, as these murders seemed to show up in places as far south as Bauldr's gate, and as far north as Neverwinter. This mystery went totally unsolved until the fight with Vecna, as the party assumed that these murders had something to do with his revival. (and in a way it did as all the death created enough necrotic energy for Vecna to re-materialize on the prime material plane. The party wasn't expected what happened next, as when Vecna died, Sesto went over to his body and pulled from his pack Vecna's phylactery, aswell and used the sword of kas (which we had to get because it was the only weapon that could hurt vecna). Sesto Destroyed the phylactery like the party planned, but instead of releasing the essence. Sesto stole Vecna's divine spark. Before getting teleported away Sesto revealed that all the murders throughout faerun were by Sestos hand, and that he had been playing the party so he could steal the divine spark from vecna and bring it to his mistress the Demon Lord Glasya. TLDR; a year long campaign ended when my chaotic/neutral halfling swashbuckler stole venca's divine spark and brought corruption upon the world.
I love playing Halflings, majority of my characters are Halflings lol. I'm about to start the Waterdeep Dragon Heist with a Halfling Archfey Warlock named Dot. She was running her parents inn when a fae king like Oberon was made mortal as punishment and she nursed him back to health. He was so appreciative he blessed her with abilities. She's super kind and generous and I'm hoping she'll get to meet Jarlaxle
"if anybody would actually play them" Oof, that line hit me in some kind of way. Way way way back when I started playing 3.5, I thought Halflings were the dumbest race ever. If I wanted to play a shitty tiny character, why not be a quirky gnome rather than a boring dumb halfling who's just like a human but tiny and can't have big swords? But as I've grown and as my taste in characters have shifted, and as 5e has been streamlining gameplay and making races less about give and take and more about letting everyone succeed in their own unique ways, I've found that I've designed more potential halfling characters than I have of any other race, and their friendly, gregarious, down home aesthetic has touched me in such a way that I think these roly-poly little girls and boys have actually become one of my favorite races (next to dwarves). Literally any time I draft up a character that needs any boost to Dexterity in any way and even when I don't, I will often find myself designing them as a halfling before anything else and I'm raring to get a chance to bust out some of these little friends in my next DnD game.
I’m playing a level 4 halfling rogue that has: A shortsword that warns him of danger A bird that he can use as a familiar A cloak that can help him blend into his surroundings
2nd ever 5e character was a Stout Halfling Wizard. He only lasted 2 sessions before getting killed by a Scarecrow but he was still a lot of fun to play.
Love playing a Trickster Ghostwise who just starts telepathically singing 'This is the song that doesn't end' over and over in the mind of some poor soul who wronged them.
Recently, I've entertained the notion of making a Totem Barbarian from a gnome or halfling...then give them the ability that doubles their Strength-based abilities. Marvel at how they seem to be stronger than either a dwarf or Fighter at around half their height.
Hey Davvy! I just recently found your channel! I love it! If you ever get around to it, I’d love to see a video about the Tabaxi race. Can’t wait for more videos!!
Fun fact: I am 99% sure the god Brandobaris is named after a character in Middle Earth: Bilbo Baggins’s ancestor Bandobras “Bullroarer” Took, who was said to have been big enough to ride a horse, and to have smacked the goblin king Golfimbul’s head clean off with his club, inspiring the game of golf. I love Middle Earth lore.
Another type of Halfling is the Kender in the Dragonlance series. They are a constantly nomadic race who travel everywhere and have a tendency to some how end up with something that doesn't belong to them ending up in their vest pocket or backpack. In most cities Kender are housed in jail cells for their own safety cause they could anger someone if say a ring falls into their vest pocket. Kender are excellent thieves, they are so good at stealing even they don't realize that they stole something until they dig around in their pockets later. When they are accused of stealing something or are caught red handed holding it they normally say that they either found it and were going to return it to its owner or that it magically teleported into their pocket.
A little mistake Davvy, you said Hob- I mean, halflings speak common and elven. They don't, they speak common and halfling. Also, I noticed you said subclasses instead of subraces, but otherwise, a good video as always :P
I'm playing a halfling fighter, clad in half plate with a longsword strapped to her back. She's like a honey badger - utterly fearless and never afraid to go for the groin. It's hilarious.
Their Luck-based racial feats are pretty interesting...you can give disadvantage to an enemy attacking you, or prevent your allies from rolling Natural 1's.
My first character was a halfling rouge and they were so feral that we almost changed his alignment from the neutral category to the evil category. He was a criminal as his background, bought drugs, stole money. But he was officially feral when he intimidated a guy so much that he was knocked out, and proceeded to ask the elf wizard if they wanted to make some human beef jerky.
Story: We had a halfling (bard) who was the Mary Sue of the group and always tried to stop my Goliath barbarian so one day we encountered a halfling city and I paid my friend who was a warlock and wizard to put every one of them in a bag of holding (idk how he did it) so from then on they were projectiles found a ogre HALFLING TOSS
which is also a language almost everybody forgets even exists and even in lore "isn't a secret, but is rarely shared" so it's often rather helpful for speaking or leaving notes in secret with others of your kind, or using as a layer of a cipher in your spellbook or journal so others can't access it
Halflings are so sneaky that you didn't notice they were gnomes all along. Many of those pictures were of gnomes, usually Lem the Gnome Bard from Paizo
In the Xanthar’s Guide to everything, there is an extended list of halfling names. My twins both have names on that list. They were born 3 years ago, so obviously I didn’t name them using this book, but I do find it hilarious.
Lightfoot Halfling Champion fighter with 4 level dip into Rogue Assassin: by level 20 enjoy 6 attacks plus action surge with a Crit range of 18-20, rerolls of first time 1’s(basically giving you a 25% chance at Critting) and instant crits on attacks against a foe that hasn’t gone in initiative yet, which shouldn’t be too hard with taking Alert for a feat. Take the Mobile feat to make up the short race distance difference. Or there’s the Halfling Beast Master Ranger/Arcane Trickster build for getting a pterodactyl mount (with DM’s permission) and basically being a dedicated paratrooper via slow fall and messaging with your mount.
Currently playing a halfling Devotion Paladin who worships the god of commerce. She’s a traveling merchant who went out to collect and sell historical artifacts to rich folks.
I have made only two halfling characters with any semblance of background. One grew up in a decent sized village and one day went with his music buddies to play at a nearby Lord's request, and when they returned home something (probably a red dragon) destroyed their village and they went their separate ways. The other grew up in a large city of predominantly humans who were extremely racist to all non-humans, including halfling, so he left with a caravan of elves passing through on their way to a temple and along the found a tome belonging to a recently deceased lich and went mad with necromantic power.
I want my character to be a halfling just because I want his backstory to be “he popped into existence and just... existed” Oh and he also wanted money to buy more beans
Being able to move through occupied spaces and hide behind bigger people seems like something you should be able to do if the person in question is a size-category larger. Perhaps give Halfling automatic successes where everyone else in the same situation would need to roll?
Ah, Halflings, good. You should respect your elders. They are the precursor race after all. And as long as Rajaat gets his way, we could return to that glorious Blue Age.
You forgot to say howdy how's it going but other than that great video. Also, if the grumpy daydrinking dwarves are scottish then the amicable lucky halflings should be irish right? So what would the other races be like?
Got a character I'm thinking about bringing to the next table I sit at after the plague goes away; A Halfling that starts with 1 level in Divine Soul Sorcerer and takes the rest of his levels as a Diviner. With Lucky when it becomes available.
Aah, Halflings. My favorite Projectile.

I would be a lotusden halfling. Or maybe a firbolg. Probably a lotusden halfling
I'd be a kobold.
Now I wanna play a Pippin type character and just go "Great! Where are we going?" whenever the group decides to go somewhere
My half-orc continually "jokes" about eating the halfling. The halfling hates this.
Get's eaten. Halfling walks out through your back and hides there waiting for you to fall asleep. I wonder which is worse.
This reminds me of a scene in Austin Powers when Fat Bastard decides instead of being paid with money, he wants to eat Dr Evil’s midget clone and makes a song about it.
Thats the opposite of my kobold, everyone calls me food or slave and I call myself a grappling hook.
My team: I'll use my grabbing hook
Me: I am a grappling hook
My orc constantly says they have to eat the Kobold crew
According to the official dnd cookbook, I wish I was joking, halflings are actually delicious
If you’re a DM and feel these are overpowered, remember they weigh about 40-80 pounds. Toss them over a cliff.

Halflings are my favourite dnd race, I don’t see why so many people think “little” of them, don’t hate me
I think lesser of any race that has bad night vision, I can easy in starlight so why can't humans.
The Halfling is about like 3 feet tall. I’m feeling like I relate to them already like I’m 4’9
I don't see why people look down on halflings, they are fine folks.

is a half human half halfling a quarterling?
More like Three-quarterling.

I fucking love playing as a halfling
E S P E C I A L L Y T H E W I Z A R- oh wait, wrong timing...
i never realized i liked halflings until this video
I can firmly say that the halfing barbarian works
"SPACECACTUS!"
God I love this channel
At 5:55 you look like Marisha Rey!!!!
Agreed. I thought that only I thought of this
You know if Matt and Marisha have a son some day he may grow up to look a bit like Davvy.
Holy shit lol
I want my character to be a halfling just because I want his backstory to be “he popped into existence and just... existed”
Oh and he also wanted money to buy more beans
Being able to move through occupied spaces and hide behind bigger people seems like something you should be able to do if the person in question is a size-category larger. Perhaps give Halfling automatic successes where everyone else in the same situation would need to roll?
I’m actually making a Halfling rogue with the charlatan background named Cade. I’ve never played that race or class so I think it could be fun.
What about second breakf-- i mean short races i.e gnome
"They can move THROUGH other cratures"
I'm interested how specifically
Going between the creature's feets, since they're short
Halflings are so stupid and I love it
Keep up the good work, DavChap!
Ah, Halflings, good. You should respect your elders. They are the precursor race after all. And as long as Rajaat gets his way, we could return to that glorious Blue Age.
There’s a character from legal legends name “Poppy” and I would love to make for one of my campaigns and I was thanking of a Haflinger paladin
“League of legends” sorry it changed during as I was writing it
She seems more like a gnome.
You forgot to say howdy how's it going but other than that great video. Also, if the grumpy daydrinking dwarves are scottish then the amicable lucky halflings should be irish right? So what would the other races be like?
My halfling monk is one of my favourite characters
Got a character I'm thinking about bringing to the next table I sit at after the plague goes away; A Halfling that starts with 1 level in Divine Soul Sorcerer and takes the rest of his levels as a Diviner. With Lucky when it becomes available.
Current group is 4 Halflings and 2 Dwarves. The halfling racial makes our DM cry.
No 1s for us.
"Tell me that that doesn't sound like a level 20 character and not a god"
Are you implying there's a difference?
I always assumed they were born from gnomes and dwarves boning lol
My favorite race
Halfling BardBarian for life!
Also, Eberron Halflings ride FUCKING DINOSAURS which is pretty neat.
I think you have enough charisma to make that stew taste good.
Halflings may be annoying, but atleast they're better than the kender...
0:45 imagine your first and middle name being Paul Christopher
Funny, I actually want to play a Halfling Bard now... maybe with a couple of levels of for good measure!
shmuckling Especially the Wizard..
:D
So when 2 halflings get busy are they a wholeling? 🧐
