Halflings

Faerun X Races of Faerun

• Hairfoot halflings were the standard, "common" subrace of halflings in the game's earlier editions. Clearly derived from Tolkien's Harfoots, they most clearly resembled Middle-earth's hobbits, being a good-natured race of homebodies with fur-covered feet.

• Tallfellow halflings were based on Tolkien's Fallohides. They are taller than hairfoot halflings, with lighter hair and skin tone, and prefer to build their homes in woodlands.

• Stout halflings were based on Tolkien's Stoors. Shorter but broader than hairfoot halflings, stouts make good craftsmen.

• Furchin, or polar halflings, are the rarest of the subraces. They live in Arctic regions and can grow facial hair.

• Jerren: Brutal and chaotic halflings who acquired those traits by Vile magic during a war.
