Play a human midget that hates halflings, and is often mistaken for a halfling. Or might be a halfling and insists he is not. Keep it light. Like a quasi-halfling Uncle Ruckus.
Whenever something bad happens or you get bad rolls, make your character bitterly remark to himself, "I bet the halflings did this."

>"I swear, I'm not a Halfling, and he isn't a Gnome!"
>Quote commonly attributed to legendary criminals, Jaxis "Crazy Hand", about himself and his partner in crime, "Felixis the Mad".
>Both were found guilty of plots to steal the King's treasury* using magic, wits, thieve's tools, alchemical devices, a stepping-stool, a skeleton key, maps of the treasury and the castle, and 10 lbs. of Assorted Dwarven Cheese.
>No one knows what the stepping-stool was to be used for, but it was surely for a nefarious purpose.
>*The entire building, to be precise.
I played a halfling freed slave who kept a few trained wolves which were also slaves to the hobgoblins he escaped from. He was pragmatic and ruthless but mostly just wanted to sit by the fire with his pups.

How short can a human be
Is he a very show human or very tall halfling

Play the character, not the race.
>>47072741
Do you have something that you want to do with the character? Is there something other than racial bonuses that attracted you to them?

is that a pizza hut pan pizza

What location are you from? What was your social position? What was your social position in relation to your family's? Why did you become an adventurer? Where do you see yourself in five years?

But halfings are Human, aren`t they?
They can have kids with humans, they are just unbreed midgets.

Had the same thought.

Roleplay your size. Watch a documentary about midgets to get an idea what they have to deal with in day-to-day life and translate it to a fantasy setting.
Usually, people roleplay gnomes and halflings the same way they would roleplay medium sized races and that's what makes them boring, because then you're just a human.

Roleplay them being amazed by the size of human pizza.
Just went and bought a triple cheese double sauce pizza
