Attenzione...hai linkato una cosa che riguarda Pathfinder, e non l'ambientazione Faerun! Non sto dicendo che quello che c'è scritto sia del tutto sbagliato, ma è sicuramente incompleto.
Infatti - a differenza di Greyhawk e di Pathfinder - gli halfling del Faerun sono divisi in sottorazze: halfling piedelesto, halfling cuoreforte, halfling degli spiriti (non giocabili quindi non mi soffermo su questi)
Forgotten Realms Wiki dice:
Lightfoot halflings were the most common type of halflings seen in the world, in large part due to their famous wanderlust, which set them apart from the relatively sedentary ghostwise and strongheart halflings. Lightfoots were most comfortable living alongside other cultures, even adopting their cultural practices, right down to their deities.
The impression a lightfoot halfling always tried to project was that of a mirthful, friendly individual who was always interested in making new friends. Sometimes this light-hearted attitude was genuine, but other times it was a facade to lull people into a false sense of security so that they might reveal secrets that would benefit the halfling.[citation needed] Halflings were extremely social towards their own kind and tended to form neighborhoods within cities they inhabited, both for companionship and for mutual protection. While not exactly greedy, halflings did enjoy wealth and respected the power and pleasures that it could bring. However, they were careful not to let greed compromise themselves or their society. In addition to information gathering, many halflings became collectors of different objects, ranging from mundane items like books or weapons to more exotic interests such as artifacts and other ancient secrets.

The strongheart halflings were, like the ghostwise and lightfoot hin, native to Luiren. They traced their ancestry back to the same long-lost days as the other subraces, but unlike their cousins, the stronghearts elected to remain in their homeland following the events of the Hin Ghostwar. The legacy of Chand, the strong-heart war chieftain who galvanized his tribe against the threat of the feral ghostwise, lived on in a nation that both reinforced and defied many of the expectations non-halflings had of this race.
Dal Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting:
Three major subraces of halflings dwell in Faerûn: the lightfoot halflings, the rare ghostwise, and the strongheart halflings of Luiren in the south. Like the rock gnomes, many halflings live among Big Folk in the human lands. They are resourceful and quick, perfectly at home among the sprawling human lands or living apart in their own settled communities.
The halflings' name for their race in Faerûn is the hin, although most accept "halfling" with a shrug and a smile.
While the lightfoot halflings value the experience of travel and the sight of new lands and peoples, the stronghearts are a more organized, oderly, and industrious race. They build to last, and fiercely defend their homelands against threats that their lightfoot kin would simply flee. Northland humans familiar with the easygoing ways of the lightfoot halflings are surprised to learn that some halflings are capable of a warrior tradition and aren't afraid to show a hint of arrogance or confidence in their own abilities and strenghts. Strongheart halflings enjoy athletic contest and value exceptional skills of all kinds.
Da Races of Faerun:
Lightfoot halflings may be the most common of all the subraces, but their behavior is also the most varied. It’s impossible to describe the “typical” lightfoot halfling because, much like humans, the race embodies individuals that are the absolute antithesis of one another. This diversity of behavior is mirrored in a diversity of outlooks: Some halflings adopt views and beliefs about the world that are very close or even identical to whatever human community they happen to dwell in, while others retain distinctive points of view that separate them from other races and groups (including other halflings). It’s not uncommon to meet halflings who, because they spend the greater part of their lives roaming from place to place, have outlooks that are amalgams of those from multiple cultures and environments. The aspect of the lightfoot outlook that most nonhalflings notice, however, is that they are the hin subrace that is most likely to wander out of an innate desire. It is not unknown for individual lightfoot halflings or even entire families to decide that, after living in the same place for decades, they want to move on to someplace else. Some learned folk speculate that the lightfoot hin experience a habitual need to see many different places and enjoy a variety of experiences. Other sages and loremasters wonder if the lightfoot penchant for the semi-nomadic lifestyle is socialized behavior, learned from centuries of practice. These scholars theorize that the lightfoot hin who left Luiren because of the Ghostwar massacres were unable to find a new homeland that suited them as well, so they wandered. After so many hundreds of years of wanderings, the behavior is now natural to the lightfoot hin, or so this school of thought holds. Whatever the case, there’s no denying that many lightfoot halflings seem determined to see a great deal of Faerûn and have many interesting experiences during their lifetimes.
Prior to the Hin Ghostwar, the stronghearts were, like their brethren, mostly a nomadic hunter-gatherer people. During the centuries that followed that terrible conflict, however, the stronghearts gravitated toward a more agrarian-based lifestyle centered around permanent communities. But if the communities were stationery, the stronghearts were not, moving from established community to established community. This strange duality of nature, consisting of a desire to move about freely with a liking for permanent structures and settlements, has produced some unusual outlooks among the stronghearts of Luiren. Their viewpoint stresses cooperation above all other traits, and the ability to work as a team is the most valued behavior in their land. Cooperation transcends many boundaries in Luiren, and even strangers of whom the locals are suspicious can earn themselves considerable credit and tolerance by demonstrating a willingness to cooperate. The stronghearts have evolved a unique, semi-nomadic lifestyle, in which businesses, families, and even entire clans move freely and independently from place to place within Luiren. This fusion of wanderlust and stability is a source of wonderment and confusion for visitors, who find it difficult to comprehend how a society can enjoy such seemingly whimsical mobility while retaining any viable structure. For their part, most of the strongheart hin cannot understand why anyone would want to tie themselves permanently to any one community or structure for their entire lives.
Per cui, nel complesso, la mia opinione è che sì - i giocatori italiani tendono a giocare tutti gli halfling in modo simile, come piedilesti/kender - ma gli halfling del Faerun non sono necessariamente così perché hanno una sottorazza che è molto diversa.
Infatti - a differenza di Greyhawk e di Pathfinder - gli halfling del Faerun sono divisi in sottorazze: halfling piedelesto, halfling cuoreforte, halfling degli spiriti (non giocabili quindi non mi soffermo su questi)
