[@Jbcool] Definitely have a thing for Halflings.  Find it fun to fill a different role.  In Fantasy I like them because they’re sort of unexpected heroes if heroes at all.  Little dudes in a world full of murder machines.  I really like Ratlings too.  The idea of them contributing by laying traps, sabotage, scouting, and just climbing into weird overlooks to get an impossible shot.  They’re nifty, and how annoying must it be to be one of the enemy all bad ass with a cool moniker preparing for a grand battle, tales of which will be heard for generations to come, only to get shot in the head by a big footed hairy midget.
