*I don't know if this one has been passed on, but I heard somewhere, official source, that because Gather Info isn't in DDO, half elves will be getting a bonus to Intimidate instead.

An additional note, Fernando Piaz said that half elves would be a very versitile race, I assume since they won't be like the humans with bonus skill points and feats, I assume they get a enhancement lines that might have specific class enhancements that make them appealing rather than obvious versitility like a human.

*Additional Note - After I wrote this I went over to ddo-daily.com and noticed they had a write up about the Intimidate boost on the Half Elves.
