The original problem in pnp was that halflings, dwarfs and gnomes had TERRIBLE movement rates, and our GM (
) was a git when it came to enforcing this rule.
i.e. stubby little legs means anyone we were running away from at the time (and 90% of our battles went like this...) would catch the halfling/dwarf/gnome and mach them into doggy doo.
hehehe.
It's just as well Bioware didn't see fit to include the movement rates of the original game, or I think some of you would get slightly irritated with how 'slowly' they move.
And thats all I have to say on this subject
p.s. almost. Dwarves are quite good, but only because they have a very developed history and I like 'grumpy' people
