Description

Physical Appearance
Halflings are short folk with pointed ears. Often mistaken for gnomes, halflings have less prominent body hair and less rounded features.

Stout halflings have thicker skin than their Lightfoot Halfling counterparts.

You have advantage on saving throws against poison, and you have resistance to poison damage.

Creation Myth
Inspired by her creation of the gnomes, Hestia attempted to create a race all her own, leading to the first Halflings. While perhaps the halflings are not all that creatively different from the gnomes in appearance, they are nevertheless perfectly capable of setting themselves apart.
