Halflings average 3 to 4 feet in height.
(How do they compare to dwarves?)
Males weigh 130-150 pounds. They are proud of their rotundness
which begins to be noticable at and after puberty. Excessive or
debilitating weight is frowned upon. An ancient greeting between
male halflings was to bump bellies. This has grown less common
in recent years. A firmly rounded belly is considered an attractive
feature by halfling females.
Females are slimmer, curvy and solidly built. They are not boney.
Who would dare to ask their weight?
Both have oversized feet with hair growth on top called "tufts"
and toughened leathery soles. They prefer not to wear shoes but
do dye their tufts as fashion dictates. Foot hair is kept well-groomed
and tangle-free. Are feet an erogenous zone for halflings?
Halfling hands are also oversized, with long, nimble fingers.
Halfling hair is generally red, darkish brown or black; blond
or other colors occur but are rare. Hair ranges from wavy to very
curly with straight hair being rare. Neither gender grows facial
hair.
Halfling complexions range in earth tones from a light tan to
a dark chocolate brown with a reddish tint added.
Male halfling features are generally broad; female features are
less so.
In general, halflings of both genders wear loosely belted tunics
and trousers. Indoors, when relaxing, robes are donned. They are
fond of bright colors and smooth textures.
Halflings are very agile, somewhat defying their appearance. Their
reach is poor however, and they have trouble getting leverage.
They have surprising endurance.
