[QUOTE="Mordane76, post: 527152, member: 7172"] I've been kicking the idea around myself for my own campaign, but I still wouldn't use what you have here because I don't know if I agree with some of the reasonings given for the skill bonuses, and I'm not sure I agree with the statistics. Half-Elf has good additions, but it doesn't have ability modifiers, and I don't know if any of the human/standard X half-breeds should, just following that trend; I know the obvious rebuttal to this is, "Well, what about the Half-Orc?" To that I say -- well, Orc isn't normally a standard race; it's a monstrous race. The Heal Skill reasoning is a little thin -- just because someone is more resilient doesn't make them better at healing others, which is the primary use of the Heal skill. Finally, the appraise/craft bonus shouldn't be a "racial" thing; I dislike a societal stereotype being considered a "racial" bonus, and if you're a Half-Dwarf raised among humans, there is nothing saying you will have the same metal/stone immersive experience as a normal Dwarf would.
