[QUOTE="maggot, post: 2022667, member: 1005"] Actually, I find it adds a touch of flavor in my campaign. I have a whole race of mixed elf-humans and use half-elves with the bonus +2/+2 feat instead of +2 dip/gather, and it makes them seem more skilled than pure elves without being as skilled as pure humans. Versatility-wise humans are still the best because +1 skill point per level is most often better than a +2/+2 feat, and the human could just take the +2/+2 feat with their bonus if they really wanted it and still have +1 skill point per level to be more versatile. The only place half-elves excel in this system is with spot, listen and search where they can take the +2/+2 and stack it with the half-elven racial bonuses (a big +1). But this doesn't bother me much because I've always seen half-elves as rangers. As for giving half-elves one of the elf weapon proficiencies, I would be careful. Many people only use one of those proficiencies anyway, and they are a big draw for non-fighter elves (elven cleric-archer anyone). [/QUOTE]
