Halfling is a nice race. My troub was Kerra, liked the timered runspeed buff. I didt have MC gear so I used it alot when battles went wrong. You should try some class with racials; magic dmg bonus for the shouts or woodelf for the bow crit- unless they already changed it again.
I personally love using Iksars, as they have water breathe, aqua vision, and innate safe fall (damage of which can be mitigated by racial traits gained later). Plus, you can start in gorowyn, which provides excellent starter gear through the quests...by far the best of the starting areas I have experienced.
Mine is an Erudite, for no real reason initially then for fun. Ended up being REALLY fun, with the bonus of Falling Grace and water breathing. Been a blast so far! M
