The old SNL song comes to mind about "Short People", but I've always been partial to Dwarves and Halflings. Alright, not ALWAYS. Back in my early days I played humans almost without exception.
These days, however, I prefer Dwarves and Halflings. Both come with built in roleplay possibilities, and there is little that more versatile than a dwarven cleric (asuuming the ruleset supports it). Viable frontline fighter and decent diving caster and undead destroyer.
Look at that - two days in a row ;)
"Short People" was a single by Randy Newman. It might have been on SNL, but it wasn't a skit.
ReplyDeleteHalflings are fun and I did enjoy playing a dwarf or two back in the day myself.
