They've been saying in the latest Design and Dev articles that it was all hyper-planned, and the PHB was supposed to touch all the bases, and certain race concepts weren't fully baked yet...I'll believe em when they say it was all carefully planned. Fine. It seems like *bad* careful planning, though... Bard and Half-Elf were just made for each other, both in 4e rules and in flavor. As far as 3.5 translations go, it seems Orc or Gnome or even Aasimar would have been better for the PHB, and introducing half-elf with PHB2 so they feel less orphaned and lame.</blockquote>
