Generally, its a bad idea, redundant. But, given that we have 2 races of nearly identical humans ( not counting the werewolf humans) another short race would not be out of place in WoW. Maybe make werewolf halflings?
I don’t think the issue is with size, I mean, do we have too many normal-size races?? The problem is uniqueness that is sufficient enough to justify needing a new race.
remember when you start to type an idea it pulls up any old ones. I figured that instead of starting from scratch bring back an older one. So you are saying it is better to start over and put up a brand new post???
Your thread seems to have been necroed by someone but I can post on it now as this part needs to be addressed.
Tolkien is one of my fav authors. But I like him because he is what he is.
He did not create orcs, nor hobbits, nor ents or any other race in his books. He also never claimed that he did. People who never read fantasy books like to claim that he invented all that stuff. The LoTR movie Hobbits are much different from the book Hobbits. But Tolkein did often refer to them as Halflings in his books and in his personal notes.
Edit oh never mind. It was you who necroed your own thread.
