[QUOTE="Drudenfusz, post: 6508332, member: 73113"] My current character is a Monk, not a charisma-based class, and still the half-elf felt like a better option. Guess I am just not feat dependent. Sure, there are some nice feats, but with only 5 ability increases for most clases, I will most often end up not taking any feats at all (like I assume I will with my mentioned Monk, boosting DEX and WIS for obvius reaons, and also CHA because of personal preference). I just talked with a friend of mine about this, she told me that my problem with this could be that there is no good feat that provide a Charisma bonus and then something useful that I would like to have. I prefer to play non-magical classes, but also like to be the social character in the group, with that set of interests the half-elf beats the human every time. Straight up abilities and skills are most of the time more useful to me then getting a spell or some other fancy stuff from a feat (I would love to build a character that utilises the Tavern Brawler feat, which I think is kinda cute, but in the end it is just luxury... a luxury the gals I build usually cannot affort).
