Why aren't dwarves and halflings allowed to stray too much from Tolkien the same way elfs are ?

Who says they can't?
says who?
Look how they massacred my boy
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwww
>Most straight character in Golarion
I don't think queer black dwarf is the worst thing they can have
>Tail with anal beads hanging on staff in full display. Clown world.
What do you expect from Pozzedo, anon?
YOU MANIACS
YOU BLEW IT UP
>if we make things gay and moronic that's creativity
Genuinely hate these kinds of people. You just know they think they know better but are actually 80 IQ nitwits.
>ITT: morons who see pretty colors and think of wiener instead of their actual lore (colors inspired by the sky at significant moments in their life)
How do I know you're a troony?
Because you only think of sucking troony dick.
disgust in spanish
Why's everyone flipping out over this one, just looks like a 3.x Dream Dwarf with a bit of Fantasia styling.
It's not that bad.
his pose made me think of vidrel

If you change everything about something except the name then there's no reason to have it except to check a box on your shitty fantasy setting to-do list. Call it something else.
And yet you can turn humans into Man-after-Man-style freaks and still call them humans
Which setting had the cannibal barbarian halflings that ride dinosaurs? Was it Planescape, Paizo, or Dark Sun?
Why do you hate creativity, anon? Don't you enjoy subversion?
Subversion for the sake of subversion is homosexual blue haired onions chugging homosexualry
>everything that isn't a tolkien rip off is le subversion
Are you that moronic or just merely pretending
explain how doing dwarfs and halflings different from tolkien in a setting that is not middle earth is subversive
Is this advanced schizophrenia?
Who made that point other than the voices in your head?
Dark Sun had jungle cannibal halflings, Eberron had plains-land dinosaur riding halflings.
True enough going too far is pretty dumb.
>Why do you hate creativity, anon? Don't you enjoy subversion?
Why do you deny yourself? Subversion is the opposite of creativity.
I am a creative who subverts all expectations!
Behold pic related! In my homebrew this is a halfling psion/wizard multiclass.
They are. You just lack the range of game playing experience to have seen those cases.
Name 3.
In my setting, halflings are humans who've lived among Dwarves for centuries and have become shorter as a result.
>allowed
Just because people lazily rip off Tolkien doesn’t mean you have to.
Why would you allow others to control YOUR world
Even Tolkien can't control his world anymore and Aragorn, Gandalf, and other characters who were once Aryan chads are now the blackest nigs drunk on purple drank and glutted with fried fowl demanding gibs and to know whereupon all the white elves.
Aside from the dwarves being a metaphor for israelites with Smaug and their mountain kingdom, the way they act, look, and what their expertise is are all taken verbatim from Germanic folklore.
look up Fafnir and take your meds, /misc/ack.
Because you get Kenders.
Nothing truly deviates from Tolkien. "Original" Elves are just Elves that are different colors or le subversive edgy Elves a la Morewiener.
The body is round.
Because 'elf' is a generic euphemism for special magical people, while dwarf and halfling are a developmental disorder and copyright evasion, respectively.
>Pay dwarves to make you a weapon to win the war for your country
>Several human generations pass
>The drunk squat bastards have taken every red cent from your home country
>Still no weapon
>Your enemies just stroll in and take your lands
Never trust the dwarves. This shit is as bad as the elves saying they'll consider letting you cut some trees to build homes then returning to tell your grandchildren's children they can cut down 5.
It's the king's fault he didn't set a timetable and/or budget.
The Dwarf Princess from that kingdom.
The Dwarfs are also normal human height if not taller
>The Dwarfs are also normal human height if not taller
Then why call them dwarfs in the first place? At least TES gives an explanation.
They are all magical abhumans, differences between them are thin and arbitrary. Basic High Elves and basic Dwarves are usually similar to popculture vision of Tolkien species, Dark Elves and donut steel races are usually as different from basic Elves as Helves are from Dwarves. Naming convention is fricking with your perception.
Halflings are magical abhumans that are always pointless from narrative and gameplay point of view.
Abhuman? Do you mean subspecies?
Abhumans are a 40k thing.
Abhumans, semihumans, humanoids, doesn't really matter. Difference between Dwarf and High Elf aren't big. Dwarf is already a humanoid magical being, of an ancient race, master craftsman, but living in mountains. Dwarfs are made out of this same cloth as elves. Adjective elves are another iteration of magical semihumans. Complaining that "Dwarfs" don't get iterated upon like "Elves" is dumb, because they do. "Dwarfs" are Elves, they are underground elves, it's this same shit.
There's nothing wrong with tolkien's elves other then the immortality
Because they almost always pale in comparison and come off as shoddy. Essentially if you deviate from an idea, the new idea's quality will be compared with the original's, and all too often the new ideas come off as inferior. You're essentailly asking someone to make something comparable to Tolkien or the myths and legends that he drew inspiration from. That's a high bar to reach.
Nobody ever decided that anon.
>Name 3.
Gloriantha's Mostali
Changeling: The Lost's Earthbones
Symbaroum's Sculpted
Why do shitpost OP's intentionally designed to antagonise always get responded to without herbs?
They haven't stayed Tolkein-esque at all.
Tolkein's dwarves were Semitic influenced, modern dwarves are more Scottish than anything.
Halflings as con-artists and rogues is very distant from them as hobbits.
They are allowed, but most people forget about these races because they're not as marketable/sexy as elves. You never see much about Dwarf or Halfling women so no writers make up whole subcultures to justify their kinks.
They do, and people like (you) usually complain.
These aren't dwarves, they're just Japanese Kobolds they decided to cal dwarves for some reason.
playing with the classic dwarf design can signify perversion
or decadence
which is to say, you absolutely can, you should just know why you're doing it
Tolkien was not the only inspiration for elves in D&D. See Poul Anderson and Michael Moorwiener for more details.
Tolkien came up with Halflings so yeah
