I want to throw in my appreciation for the shorter races. My first playthrough in full game is a halfling bard. She is a lightfoot and can sneak nearly everywhere she goes, because of that advantage and really seldom botch a role, because natural 1 is automatically rerolled. This is more of a big deal, than you might think, she got out of s lot of tied situations because of this. And my halfling looks cute.
I also love the racials of gnomes. In my last EA playthrough I played a deep gnome arcane trickster and it was a great experience.
And I mean, come on, dwarves are one of the most iconic races in fantasy.
People tend to dismiss the smaller races too quickly imo. They bring a lot to the table and they are fun.
