This is from the Icewind2 website, under "Races". I guess Black Isle really wants to prevent any halfling riots because of the disadvantages... :)
HALFLINGS
Halflings are short, generally plump people, much like small humans. Their faces are round and broad, and often quite florid. Their hair is typically curly, and the tops of their feet are covered with coarse hair. Halflings are highly resistant to poisons and magic, are naturally skilled with slings as weapons, and have a limited ability to see in the dark. They receive a bonus to Dexterity, but a penalty to Strength.
Advantages:
+2 to Dexterity, +2 to move silently, +1 to all saving throws, +2 on saving throws vs. Fear, and a +1 to hit with Missile Weapons.
Disadvantages:
-2 to Strength. Just because you can carry the one true ring to Mount Doom doesn't mean you can lift a two-handed sword.
