Never underestimate that reduced speed either the quote that always comes to mind is:"I don't have to be faster than the bugbear, I only have to be faster than you."Alchemy is a skill that can only truely benefits spellcasters since the items that can be made with require the character to be a spellcaster. Very situational and class-oriented.Racial familiar weaponry - is a good thing, but you must have martial weapon profiency in order to benefit from it. Which means to be a warrior - oriented class or take the martial weapon proficiency (specific weapon) feat for that weapon.  A good color benefit, but really not that useful for a non-martial oriented character since it still requires a feat to use the weapon without penalty. Although by not requiring it to be exotic weapon proficieny a character doesn't have to met the +1 BAB prerequisite fot the feat.The bonus to listen checks is good and generally useful most of the time.The racial to hit and dodge bonuses fall back to good color benefits (which I said the race could benefit from already). But these are also situational.The other benefits are likewise situational and very class oriented. They require casting (or resisting) Illusion spells.</blockquote>
