One alternative approach to reducing the die roll might be to give Halflings a racial trait like "treat ST as 5 points higher for saving throws vs poison". Or create a race-specific talent like 'Hardy' (which hcobb presented in another thread).

Re: Health Rolls
My update also helps balance in Gargoyles and Reptile Men who have the listed ST in the sources without overpowering human warriors.
Munchkin Reptile Man kung fool warrior takes the lead and encounters goblins with poison arrows. Better luck next time.

Re: Health Rolls
We differ there I suppose. I believe high ST is its own reward and making adjustments to the number of dice rolled based solely on starting ST feels unnatural.

Re: Health Rolls
I'm not sure why you wouldn't expect a giant to make its save versus the same poison that affects a humanoid. I get drunk off of X amount of alcohol, but that is determined by a number of factors including my size. The amount of alcohol that would get me floored, to a giant, is like a single shot or less and would therefore have little to no effect. It would need a giant sized portion. The same applies with most poisons. Healthy adults survive contact with poisonous substances all the time (albeit suffering sickness) that would severely harm or kill a cat or child.
