Humans, Elves, Halflings & FC.

[AeroDm]

I would definitely avoid granting a d20. Everyone will take _at least_ 1 level of barbarian (their first no doubt) because there is no penalty as it is now their favored class, they gain an auto 20 hp, and the barb is rather front loaded anyhow. +1 hp/level would simulate your desire and not break the game.

Extra hit points have nothing to do with versatility, and I think they're a poor ability for Humans.

Also, while some Human cultures are considered barbaric, others are considered fairly uplifted and enlightened-- except, of course, when compared to the Elves. Humans are certainly more civilized than the Orcs.

It's your game, but other than giving Elves FC: Ranger (I give them the choice of Wizard or Ranger), I think these are mainly pointless and negative rules changes.

I see no reason for these- halflings aren't good at anything (barbarian, fighter, etc) whereas humans are supposed to be the flexible ones.

I also would strongly recommend against giving humans the HD bump.

Your game, your choice; I don't think I'd do any of those things, with the possible exception of the change to ranger FC for elves.
