[QUOTE="Kzach, post: 4667692, member: 56189"] Although I definitely like the idea of having more half-elven focused feats, I also believe that they are needed regardless of changes and don't really factor into the power of the race. In addition, I don't feel it solves the problem I have with the race as a whole, which is to say that, IMO, it's weak compared to other races and simply doesn't fit the whole "born of two worlds, welcome in neither" angsty, outcast schtick and nor does the current build represent either parent race very well. For my money, I think the final write-up I'm going to use is as follows: +2 Dexterity. +2 to any other stat. Dilettante (as written). Fey Origin (as written). Human, elven, eladrin or half-elven feats. Common & Elven known plus one more language. I really feel this is balanced and reasonable and suits them well. It definitely favours rogue, but that also sits well with how I view them. This probably doesn't work as well in a setting like Forgotten Realms or Eberron where every race and their dog can be a PC race and is galavanting all over the place as if every city is Sigil, but then again, I don't use either of those settings so for me, the half-elf is special and different because of his origins.
