Based On the racials alone (which i'll add at the bottom to this post) a dual between a Skar and a Halfling would more then likely have the Halfling winning simply because of their Dagger Specialization and Fires of Youth racials. The skar has no racials that can match it outside of just an increased health but even then a 5% increase is not much.

The halfling summoner of course :)
Using the equation W = h(s+p) (where W is chance to win, h is height, s is style, and p is the ability to eat 10 pies at one sitting), we find that the Halfling edges out the Skar every time.
In "reality" I would put my money on the Skar, but in game with the known racials I would put my money on the Halfling.
Two rogues equally geared: Halfling is going to land more hits and with a higher average damage than the Skar (with daggers) as well as gain more (10%? If there are healing potions then this bonus already outperforms the +5% HP Skar get) from any consumables used compared to a tiny bit of extra HP on the Skar...
