	Despite the [[Half-Elf\|shared]] [[Half-Orc\|naming]] [[Half-Dragon\|convention]], halflings are a full-blooded race, not one of [[human]]ity's many halfbreed spawn, although jokes about the nature of "Lings" and "Quarterlings" (halfling/human hybrids) are pretty old. They are no relation to [[Half-Goblin]]s, although that could be an interesting racial redesign for them.		Despite the [[Half-Elf\|shared]] [[Half-Orc\|naming]] [[Half-Dragon\|convention]], halflings are a full-blooded race, not one of [[human]]ity's many halfbreed spawn(the name is likely from the fact that they're roughly half the size of humans, with similar proportions), although jokes about the nature of "Lings" and "Quarterlings" (halfling/human hybrids) are pretty old. They are no relation to [[Half-Goblin]]s, although that could be an interesting racial redesign for them.

	Like all the core races of Pathfinder, they have options for trading out their normal racial features. There are two options of note (though several are good trades). The first is giving up Sure-Footed for normal speed, as the higher speed boosts your acrobatics anyways. The second is trading away your bonus on saves to become a nexus for ''bad'' luck and the ability to jinx enemies. On its own it's not a great trade, but there are plenty of feats dedicated to boosting this jinx if you want to specialize on it.

	Perhaps grimmest and darkest of all are the Rhulisiti of [[Dark Sun]]. Athasian Halflings have degenerated from the heights of glory. These dusky-skinned tribals jealously guard their home in the Ringing Mountains, hunting everything that isn't one of their own kind -- including fellow sapients: using druidic magic, stealth, [[psionics]] and poison. These owe much more to pygmies and to other xenophobic equatorial human tribes (in all fairness, ''their'' xenophobia was well justified) than to Tolkien. Amusingly, virtually all other sapient races in the setting are descended from them in some fashion.		Perhaps grimmest and darkest of all are the Rhulisiti of [[Dark Sun]].

[[Rajaat]], the villain who caused the events that turned Athas into a desert was a loony who wanted to wipe out all non-Rhulisiti even though he wasn't one himself because he thought it was wrong for them to diverge into different races.

	===Farlandish Halflings===		====Farlandish Halflings====
	In the [[World of Farland]], halflings, or ''hositan'' as they call themselves, use the standard PHB racial traits... but, there's also the subsetting "War of Immortals", which is set back in the ancient past of the setting. Here, halfling culture is literally just forming - halflings were only just recently recognized as being ''people'' instead of '''pets''' by the [[dwarf\|dwarves]], who are rather embarrassed about the whole matter, and there are two unique subraces. The core race is identical to the 5e version above, but the subraces are different. ''Outsiders'', also known as ''Shire-Dwellers'', are the original halfling stock; they get +1 Constitution and have the Lightfoot's Naturally Stealthy racial trait. ''Insiders'' are halflings who were bred as pets by the dwarves until recently; they get +1 Charisma and the unique trait "Learned", which grants them Proficiency in and Advantage on two skills of their choice from a list of Animal Handling, Arcana, History, Investigation, Medicine, Nature, Performance, Persuasion and Religion.

			====Scarnish Halflings====
			In the [[Scarred Lands]], halflings mostly live in small, insular agrarian villages and are fearful of strangers, as they've been often enslaved by nobles and tyrants. In general they try to keep themselves out of sight from other races and nations. Only recently has the Calastian Hegemony given them a homeland, the Heteronomy of Virduk, and many halfling slaves in the hegemony are given the option to buy out their contracts in return for a decade of military service. The halfings of Scarn all use the following stats:

			::Ability Score Increase: +2 Dexterity, +1 Constitution
			::Size: Small
			::Speed: 25 feet
			::Lucky: When you roll a 1 on an attack roll, ability check or saving throw, reroll the die and use the second result.
			::Brave: You have Advantage on saves vs. Frightened.
			::Halfling Weapon Training: You are proficient with blowgun, dart, sling, and spear.
			::Halfling Nimbleness: You can move through the space of any creatrue that is a size category larger than you.
			::Halfling Stealth: You can attempt to hide even when you are obscured only by a creature that is at least one size larger than you.
			::Halfling Talent: When selecting skill proficiencies from your class, add Acrobatics, Deception, Persuasion, and Stealth to the list of choices.
			::Language: You speak Calastian, Ledean, or Veshian, and one other language.
