I think PHB half-elves are a bit weaker than either elves or humans (elves get more bonuses/features, humans get slightly better goodies), but that giving them the bonus skill points probably makes them slightly too strong to be balanced.If you did just give them the bonus points, then the only non-RP reason to play a human would be if you wanted a specific feat as opposed to the pre-selected bonuses -- and the bonuses are better than many feats.The variant half-elf I posted towards the top of the thread ducks this issue by making other changes (no sleep immunity, favored class: bard, stat shift), but even with those changes I mentioned that I think it might be too powerful.</blockquote>
