Instead elven accuracy seems one of the best IMHO for her in that role. Even though the same reasoning can be applied for a halfling rogue (who need to dodge blows if he dives in the middle to get CA), I still think that is by far the weakest racial.  SituationBattles with a lot of situational movement-obstacles benefits the Eladrin fey step. Lots of minions favour dragonbreath. Lots of dangerous pit-falls favour dwarven stand-fastness. CampaignIn campaigns with a lot of roleplaying /out of combat/ Fey-step is one of very few (only?) racials that can be used out of combat. Fey-step therefore gets extra useful-points, it can both be nice in combat and out of combat.  Hunam racialThe exception to this is the hunam 3rd at-will, extra skill and extra feat. IMO the use of a third at-will is varying from crap to really good. Some classes who focus a lot on one of two possible class-stats will only have two good at-wills (the other two are meant for builds focusing on the other stat). Whereas a wizard wants all of his at-will-attacks, so an extra for her is very good. The extra skill is weak and very campaign oriented IMHO. A campaign that focuses heavily on roleplaying (with very few fights) could have use for it - but it's not something that is denied the other races as they can wait to lvl 2 and pick a skill with their feat if they really want it. The extra feat looks good at lvl 1 but will in comparison get weaker by the level as you get so many that you have no problem in loosing one of the lesser useful.</blockquote>
