===SUBRACES===
The information above is for the lightfoot halfling, the most common halfling variety. There are two other major halfling subraces, which differ from lightfoot halflings as follows.

'''Tallfellow'''

Tallfellows are somewhat rare among halfling folk. Tallfellows are 4 feet tall or more and weigh between 30 and 35 pounds. They generally speak Elven in addition to Common and Halfling.  

'''Tallfellow Traits ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' These traits are in addition to the lightfoot halfling traits, except where noted.
* +2 racial bonus on [[SRD:Search Skill|Search]], [[SRD:Spot Skill|Spot]], and [[SRD:Listen Skill|Listen]] checks. Like an elf, a tallfellow who merely passes within 5 feet of a secret or concealed door is entitled to a [[SRD:Search Skill|Search]] check as though actively looking for it. This trait replaces the lightfoot’s +2 bonus on [[SRD:Listen Skill|Listen]] checks.
*Tallfellows are less athletic than lightfoot halflings and do not have a racial bonus on [[SRD:Climb Skill|Climb]], [[SRD:Jump Skill|Jump]], and [[SRD:Move Silently Skill|Move Silently]] checks.

'''Deep Halfling'''

These halflings are shorter and stockier than the more common lightfeet.

Deep halflings are about 2-1/2 tall and weigh between 30 and 35 pounds. Deep halflings speak Dwarven fluently.

'''Deep Halfling Traits ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' These traits are in addition to the lightfoot halfling traits, except where noted.
*[[SRD:Darkvision|Darkvision]] out to 60 feet.
*Stonecunning: Like dwarves, deep halflings have a +2 racial bonus on checks to notice unusual stonework. Something that isn’t stone but that is disguised as stone also counts as unusual stonework. A deep halfling who merely comes within 10 feet of unusual stonework can make a check as though actively searching and can use the [[SRD:Search Skill|Search]] skill to find stonework traps as a [[SRD:Rogue|rogue]] can. A deep halfling can also intuit depth, sensing the approximate distance underground as naturally as a human can sense which way is up.
* +2 racial bonus on [[SRD:Appraise Skill|Appraise]] checks and [[SRD:Craft Skill|Craft]] checks that are related to stone or metal.
*Deep halflings are less athletic than lightfoot halflings and do not have a racial bonus on [[SRD:Climb Skill|Climb]], [[SRD:Jump Skill|Jump]], and [[SRD:Move Silently Skill|Move Silently]] checks.
