Homebrew Elf Halfling Species Details

Not unlike

Despite having ancesetry from three different races (human, elvish, and halfling) they don't look to unlike the other individuals from the half elven race, just smaller and usually wearing a wide smile. They usually range from 3-6 feet, 45-180 pounds.

Males usually sport longer side burns though rarely grow any facial hair. Their ears are usually slightly pointed, and have facial features that are most similar to half elves.

They have little need for ostentation, preferring to be rather plain and straight forward. Even among the nobles and highly esteemed they prefer to live unassuming lifestyles. 

Kind, Curious, and Diplomates

Half Elf Halflings are affable and cheerful people. They cherish bonds between family and friends as well as the comforts of hearth and home. They find value in platonical things such as smiles and laughs more than material objects such as gold and fame. They rather enjoy even the simple pleasures of life and usually content with their lives. Even the adventurers among them go out into the world not for fame nor wealth, but rather curiosity and wanderlust. 

They find pity in living thing suffering and wounded, though are quite unforgiving of those that inflict harm and pain on other living beings. Despite all this they are rather resonable and have a knack for ending conflicts in a civil manner and creating situations where neither party is left at a loss. 

They're very compassionate, sympathetic and are known to be great listeners. Due to their unusual backgrounds they can usually socialize well with any individual and sympathize with almost anyone. 

Unassuming and adaptable

Half Elf Halflings are adept at fitting into a community of humans, half elves, dwarves, or elves, making themselves valuable and welcome. The combination of their inherent stealth and their unassuming nature helps halflings to avoid unwanted attention.

Halflings work readily with others, and they are loyal to their friends, whether halfling or otherwise. They can display remarkable ferocity when their friends, families, or communities are threatened.

Exploring Opportunities

Halflings usually set out on the adventurer’s path to defend their communities, support their friends, or explore a wide and wonder-filled world. For them, adventuring is less a career than an opportunity or sometimes a necessity.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common, Elvish, and Halfling. Elvish is fluid, with subtle intonations and intricate grammar. Elven literature is rich and varied, and their songs and poems are famous among other races. Many bards learn their language so they can add Elvish ballads to their repertoires. The Halfling language isn’t secret, but halflings are loath to share it with others. They write very little, so they don’t have a rich body of literature. Their oral tradition, however, is very strong. Almost all halflings speak Common to converse with the people in whose lands they dwell or through which they are traveling
