    Default Half-elf: why no Aerenal / Valenar Melee lines

    Why not have at least tier 1 of Aerenal and Valenar Melee Attack / Damage? Just like Human Improved Recovery (on half-elf is max tier II and not III like human). Could be another interesting reason to create an half-elf

    Even though half-elves are ostracized, second-class citizens in Valanar and Aerenal.

    The nerfing will continue until morale improves!

    I agree a +1/+1 option would be very nice. It also makes non-khopesh options more worth considering and gives half-elves a little more of an elven flavor.

    I don't have space for Lammania right now, so I'm not sure what enhancements they do have, but the first tier of bow enhancements would be nice to have too.

    I too was surprised by this lack of weapon lines.

    Somehow, it just doesn't *feel* right. They should have them...

    Because half elves are in no way finished. I expect it to be U9 before half elves are finished.

    My guess is that this is because Half-Elves are considered their own independent race in eberron, not just random human/elf crossings. They have their own cultures and what not, and since these enhancements are culturally based on different elf cultural groups it kind of makes since that half elves don't get them, since they are part of an entirely different cultural group.

    Great role playing view.
    But we are on DDO. Why a min/maxer should choose half-elf and not human? Dilettante? Just take a single level in the class you need. Two set of Intimidate and diplomacy skills? Please, lol. Bonus to longsword, scimitars and falchion could be a reason to choose half-elf instead of human. Otherwise human is still superior.

    U9 Half-Orcs get nerfed/ Half-Elves get buffed

    Plan accordingly...

    Bastard sword enhancements would be the appropriate choice. And that solves two dilemmas at once.

    and /signed again.

    They should get those lines, even if they are only allowed to go half as far as the intial races are allowed.

    When do you expect Drow will be finished?
