[QUOTE="barasawa, post: 7759588, member: 44909"] I still have to download and read the latest version of the PF beta, but that's a sidenote I just thought I'd point out in case there's anything in particular they've done in the new build.:blush: Aldarc, please don't take this the wrong way, but I don't know what kind of place you think that halfbreeds have in the first place. They have traditionally been liked by players because that way they can have their foot in the door on two different races and get to use the racial specific items of both, but on the other hand, they are penalized by being on the fringes of society and never fully accepted by either of their parents races. :uhoh: On the power building or min/maxing side of things, you aren't loosing a feat, you're picking a specific one that does give you MULTIPLE benefits. The half whatever heritage feat gives you a selection of abilities to take from your other parentage, and opens up ALL the other feats of that parentage to you as well. This is NOT a detriment by any means, unless of course you expected to have all those AND a free feat on top of that. Sure, that weakens min/maxing thing, but designers squashing what they see as exploits is nothing new. Besides, now it also highlights that being half whatever no longer means you're a somewhat accepted yet watered down version of that race, but that you are also half human as well. B-) Of course, like usual, this is only my opinion and take on the situation. :cool: [/QUOTE]
