Message: <blockquote data-quote="Samurai" data-source="post: 4265784" data-attributes="member: 3850">Here are my changes:Half Elves – They get +2 Cha and a +2 to their choice of Dex, Wis, or Con.  When choosing their Dilettante power, Half Elves may choose either an Encounter Power from another class and use it as a Daily power or an At Will used as an Encounter.  They also receive a +1 bonus to Reflex saves instead of the Group Diplomacy power.My reasoning:  I wanted to give players more choices for the extra +2 than just Con (which makes almost no sense to me), and yet not allow it to be fully free floating (because Str would make even less sense than Con, and I wanted to leave that option to Humans only).  So I felt the best compromise was to give 3 choices for the +2:  Con (so that all pre-gen half-elf characters are still legal, and to show their human side)or Dex or Wis (the 2 stat bonuses that an Elf gets, showing his more elven side).Next, the at wills are fairly weak and not too exciting, so I felt that the option to choose an Encounter power as a Daily instead of an At Will as an Encounter would allow even more varied choices and add interest to the race.Finally, for all the reasons mentioned above, the incredibly stupid +1 to allies' Diplomacy had to go.  The text talks about half elves being agile and quick, but none of their powers reflected that, so I replaced the aura with a +1 Ref defense.  That also echoes the Humans' +1's to defenses, just in a more limited fashion.I think the race with these rules is now well balanced.</blockquote>
