Halflings however, are not lazy, they're rural. BIG difference believe me! You could either leave them be, or you could play on the 'tied to the land' principle and set them up like a proto-scout with survival &/or kowledge (nature) bonuses for the LA+1, or give them a low end skirmish perhaps? Fits the concept elsewhere and even fits the gumph 'n fluff.
