unplayed races

It would be nice if the more unplayed races like derro leprechaun brownie and halfling had a slight change and maybe a race ability to make them more playable.

Yes, it would be nice if all races would ahve racial abilities. However, i do not agree that the named races are unplayed. For one, derro is a played race as a shadowdacer.

Brownie is nice race for an air_priest for example and leprechaun is good for a mage etc.

I'm not sure if halflings are good for anything

but that's just as it should be

Hear hear! Moraq is telling the truth!

There used to be a time (before archery tunes), where at least few people were able to do somewhat decent solo with a halfling ranger.

*Rotax points to Xerene meaningfully.

halfings are good for idling, eating and drinking!

(Generally speaking, halflings are good for nothing and should be hunted down and killed on sight.)

However there are exeptions: Halflings are good for/in/as:

a) Target practice.
b) Medical experiments.
c) Necromantic components.
d) Getting lost into the lawn.
e) Ambushing ants to steal their food.
f) PiÃ±ata!

NO, I am not a racist! I just mildly dislike halflings/kenders and hobbits.

Why that is nonsense! A Halfling would make a mediocre choice for any guild!

Ã¶hhhh

halflings need no uptune, they are the rules of aegis and the noblest race around! (yes, tune them please)

I think it might be interesting for hobbits (halflings) to have an enhanced dodging capability and perhaps counterattack/momentary stun that only successfully works if you already have training in the associated skills such as dodge, avoid hits, defensive battle strategy, etc. It might give them a nice niche to play in. Perhaps make it affected by the same things that dodge is tested by (low weight, perhaps the type of armor they are wearing).
