I would love that option ...
You will be able to protect only half of your party, other half would be torn appart by statues. laugh

And imagine that expression on the Halfling Druid face, when he realize that you stole his circlet, and he is now supposed to run. laugh laugh laugh

I was only disapointed, when i find out that my halfling is not small enough to walk there freely, while Goblins obviously are. frown

So ...
Disable by "being small" or "sneaking" or "wearing Druid circlet" sound good to me. :P
But i would still say that you would need all those options.

I still dont understand why cant we change Race for our hirelings. frown
Lets us play Githyanki as racist as they trully are! frown
