I guess my DMs just don't want to draw 120'+ of battlemap or something, but I can't see how its worth a feat. Besides the real power of the extra feat is when it leads to higher level feats in builder books and earlier/easier entrance to PrCs, so just comparing the power of one feat isn't enough. The only classes I can see half elves as even competitive in are bard and charisma based rogue where they can use all of their bonuses. However, they aren't particularly weak either and since they are quite playable I'm not that worried about minor imbalances. Elves on the other hand are handicapped by their -2 con in spite of some great abilities otherwise. I can't imagine an elf playing a class with less than d8 HD. They do make great rangers.Halflings weak!!?! They get + 1 racial bonus on all saves for crying out loud! Yes, huge bonuses to attack but penalties to damage, no enhanced vision but big stealth skill and attack bonuses, and of course a move penalty but bonuses on move skills like jump and climb. Consider a halfling barbarian. With power attack the - 3 damage they suffer from smaller weapons and strength is reduced to -1. So, slower move and -1 damage compared to +2 AC, +1 initiative, +1 reflex, another +1 on all saves, + 2 on jump, listen, and climb skills, and a few more minor ablities. Also, speed is usually the easiest to fix as halflings can ride medium sized mounts that are usable in the dungeon environment. And this is a class they really shouldn't even be competitive in!</blockquote>
