[QUOTE="Psikus, post: 4667683, member: 66049"] I think dilettante is a great concept, but falls a bit short as the only useful feature of the half-elf. Maybe they had it as an at-will at first, and toned it down late in development - This would explain early preview characters with an extra at-will, and the general lack of support for the half-elf. Maybe we could make the half-elf work without rewriting anything? Adding a few racial feats that expanded on their versatile, multiclass nature (rather than the 'cooperation and tiny group bonuses' shtick, which they alredy have plenty of) might work wonders. Consider these feats: - Improved Dilettante (requires half elf, dilettante racial feature). Choose an additional 1st-level at-will attack power from a class different from yours. This can't be a class you have already chosen for dilettante. You can use that power as an encounter power. - Half-elven versatility (requires half elf). Choose a multiclass feat from a class different from yours. You gain the benefits of that feat. This doesn't count towards your normal limit of multiclass feats. What do you think? This gives half-elves a potent tool, expands on current flavor and mechanics, and doesn't look, at first sight, as degenerate as at-will Dilettantes (eyebiting paladins, anyone?). [/QUOTE]
