Halfling Player Character Attributes

As previously stated, Halfling families are either Stout or Lightfoot, so either can be chosen, but the Attributes will only be different in D and D 5e. For other systems (PF2e and 3.5) choose one but use the same Attributes for both.

Halflings are generally around 3' tall, about half the height of a human, and they weight around 45 lbs. They are categorized as "small." Their language is the same Common tongue as the most nearby human group, and they also start with one more language of the player's choice (and one more with each +1 of Intelligence modifier) they might also speak gnomish, goblin, Elven, or even sylvan or orcish. Anything's possible, depending on background. Other elements of appearance and etc. can be found in the Players Handbooks for D and D, or the Core Rulebook for PF2e.

Halflings reach adulthood around age 20, and they live to age 150 on average.
