Anyone play a halfling? What class? How much do you hate it?

Most people that I know that do halflings went the Mystic route. I can see them being alright ninjas, too but obviously that strength really limits everything.

Halfling mystics I knew liked it.

I know 5th alignment is something every character looks forward too, but I feel like a halfling is just going to be waiting and waiting until the day he/she gets his/her 5th quest weapon. /sigh

halfling is garbage and are ill suited for every class.

I play them as Mages. don't need STR to play a mage, and the +10 dodge coupled with all their +dodge spells/gear make them dodge almost as much as ninjas/mystics in the long run, which certainly doesn't hurt.

As for ninja halflings, tried this myself, and I found that the added raw damage, gear options (primarily weapons, but other stuff as well), and crit-rate gained due to being FAR less encumbered as a high-STR race is much more worth it than the +10 dodge.

Halflings also make great thieves. But, we all know how useful thieves are, so imagine a halfling thief!
