If the justification for Talenta halflings having a Climb bonus is because "the ability to climb cliffs..." is handy, well that'd really apply to just about everywhere I'd think. Sure humans have domestic dogs and horses, but in general as a race, those are not a significant part of their culture. If there's a culture built around a mounted society, then they would indeed more proficiency in riding IMO.I'm of the mind that the decision to leave these stats for halflings was more based on the idea to not change something unless absolutely needed, rather than any idea that the stats were still appropriate for the race in question.So yes, Valenar elves may not require Ranger as favored class, but at the same time, it may be more appropriate for them than Wizard.But really, it's not a problem. I don't hate Talenta Halflings because they're rogueish climbers, I just think it's more inappropriate than Gnome Badger Talkers. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
