Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes gives some great insight into Halfling culture. Instead of conventional treasures, halflings tend to prize and collect artefacts related to great triumphs or stories. "This is the very rock Billiwick the Brave threw at the stone giant!" or "Why, this is Roswyn Ticklefoot's plate from the Great Feast of Mordeg's Demise!" It's easy to find a mundane item related to the adventures you have, so when you learn to think like a halfling, you always get great loot!

Possibly my favorite character I've ever built is a halfling 'luck manipulator'.I rolled REALLY crap stats and what I decided was that despite being told I could reroll, I would take them, and use this build I'd had in mind for a good while. See below if you're interested. Halflings naturally have some luck, but they also have a few racial feats that expand upon luck even more so. And there's the normal Lucky feat. If your scores are just bad... why not invest in not rolling bad and making others roll bad / good with these feats? Also, those advantages on fear and poison are tweaking more rolls in your favor if you're Stout. On top of that take 2 levels of Wizard to become a Diviner and know the results of two things of your choice in advance every day! You KNOW that you're going to win the arm wrestling contest and you KNOW the big bad is going to fail his save on the Druid's Polymorph. From there? Just go Bard. Bonus action to make rolls better for your friends! From there it's just a matter of picking Bard spells and 2 levels worth of Wizard spells that suit you- in my case ones that don't rely on my own numbers to be good like Magic Missile, Rope Trick, and Message. Pick up a familiar while you're at it- grant yourself dark vision despite being a halfling and have them use the help action for your allies in combat. A very useful character even if they're not amazing in raw stats. When push comes to shove they'll win or make sure you win. You can even grab the guidance and bless spells with magical secrets, and jack of all trades and expertise are always handy even in the hands of the mediocrely statted.

Currently I'm playing a halfing barbarian, who has gone down the path of the giant.

You forgot fighter! Halflings make incredible Dex based fighters, even considered making the gunslinger im playing to be halfling because of it. I didn't cause it personally though it would break the gun play a bit to much since i'm using a misfire 1 pistol so far.

No mention of the ghostwise halfling? Just rolled up a ghostwise shadow monk

I'm calling it, Liam's next character is an Australian accented halfling bard that's the brother of Thaddeus Candleglow.

Liam: Plethora of options. Me: *Literally has a setting with 2 to 3 times the amount of player options.

Also you could go with Eberron Halflings. They ride freaking dinosaurs. That's fucking rad.

In the series of one-shots I'm doing, I'm playing a Stout Halfling Grave Cleric called Sabrina. She is like a female halfling version of Matthew McConaughey. Every time I act out like I'm high with a different voice in character, my group and the DM was laughing. 😂😂 I played too many Clerics. 😊
