I have said this before but if you make a Dwarf and plan on training magic,
you should be slapped.  The high cost for magic isn't a weakness.  Just ask
people who fight my Dwarf.  8)

Dex is cheap, CHEAP!!  Halflings are very fast because they can raise Dex
fast and get lots of action points.  I have found that the low strength hurts,
but you can be deadly with a bow, or sling.  Also, flanking around your
opponents while the group keeps them busy allows you to get back attacks.  Low
strength doesn't matter then.  Add the Backstab skill to that (only can use
certain weapons with this skill) and you can be extremely painful to the
opponents.

And very helpful on adventures.  They can keep an opponent dazed while you
try to kill it before it kills you.

They are fun on adventures since they don't need any sort of healing.
People find this race fun to run.  What do you think Dave?
