[QUOTE="Omnifarious Grey, post: 4662169, member: 81454"] I personally think that the Half-elf was well designed. Reading books in the dragonlance series about people like Tanis Half-elven seemed to be why they were designed as such. I don't see how you can dismiss the idea that they are not designed to the race in a way, but that is opinion so I can understand. As far as the changes you have posted I think that the biggest issue is the +2 to any stat. Most of the races are built with a few specific classes to be choosen to help. Human is one of the exceptions because they can help any class and fills the gaps. If you create a race that is more versitile than a human stat-wise then it is clearly too strong. Skills are not a big deal and sure an extra feat is nice, but most heroic feats are too bland to make a difference. Anyone who would powergame would gladly give up that skill or feat to gain an extra +2 to dex, and on top of that gain an at-will to supplement them from another class. You may want to rethink having such a broad choice as that. [/QUOTE]
