Is it just me or are Harengons really (maybe a little too) good?

[QUOTE="Mort, post: 8732556, member: 762"] Was just messing around with some character creation and took a look at the Harengon (basically rabbit person). Stat bonus is the now standard +2/+1 or +1/+1/+1, so nothing unusual there. Then they get a +Prof bonus to initiative. Ok, that's good, but not huge except for some builds that focus on it (which then CAN make it huge). Then they get proficiency in Perception. Ok, they get the "best" skill proficiency for free. Again, good, but so do elves. Then they get the ability to reroll a dex saving throw (AND add an additional 1d4 besides) at the cost of a reaction. I'd say that's REALLY good! Finally, they can bonus action move (jump) up to 10 feet without provoking attacks of opportunity (proficiency bonus times per day). That's REALLY good for certain classes. It's just a slightly weaker misty step (that Eladrin get) but the Harengon can do it more often (a lot more often as levels increase). But hey, at least they DON'T get Darkvision - unless of course they take a class that grants it (A Harengon gloomstalker will be very, very nasty). Just seems to be a strong collection of character abilities. And yes, I can, of course, ban it/nerf it etc., but that's never my first goto. But I'm just looking for other people's reactions, reactions to playing one/seeing one in play , that sort of thing. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
