No Coyote, you're wrong. Dead wrong. If the aliens work out the whole big boobs thing, only the heterosexual guys will be doomed. And a few lesbian chicks.
The rest of us will be standing right behind Mrs Coyote in the Rolling Pin Army.
You missed one very important point about mounts. They scale.
That's fine if you're a Kerra or an Ogre and your stead gets bigger and looks even more badass than normal. Humans can pass too with decent sized mounts that don't make them look ridiculous.
You stick a Halfling on a mount? You're charging into battle on My Little Pony, Felix, Nelly the Elephant, Winnie the Pooh or a baby Rhino that just likes to make a lot of noise and shakes his head a lot because he doesn't quite know what to do with that thing on the end of his nose yet.
And I can tell you this for certain - you go the magic carpet route on a halfling who's real life equivalent is an eight year old child and you're not carpetting anymore. You're not even rugging it. A magic carpet scaled to a halfling is a teatowel. Plain and simple.
Make friends with a warden and get SOW. It's a lot less embarrassing.
Ooh! Goodie! Instead of dealing with 'the cat jumped up and randomly hit enough buttons on the keyboard to open 15 programs and simultaneously change my mouse configuration', it'll be 'My computer crashed because the cat decided to fall asleep in the middle of the table and now nothing works'. And instead of what you hope is anchovies you'll get what you know to be yesterdays tuna mixed with hairball all over it.
Are you going to make every country have a character sheet with all its attributes and assets written on it as well?
Cuz if you are I'm totally in.
