Half-elf stats

[Sir Solan]

Well, with the recent changes to int and wis for gnomes vs elves, half-elves kinda drew the short straw...
Max int was reduced to 21, and max wis raised to 22, which resulted in 11% less per practice, but the same number of practices/level, so just general weakening.

What I propose is to give half elves part of the adaptability of their human parentage, from a basis reflecting their mixed blood (yes, I know, CF has this implemented, but I actually think it's a good idea).

IE, give them base stats of something like
Str 19, Int 21, Wis 21, Dex 21, Con 19, and then +2 in the main stat of their class.

This way, they'll still demonstrate a mix of human and elven blood, by having a result between the two, but be able to customize a bit thanks to their human ancestry.

(And yes, I was particularly upset at losing 2 int at the same time as int began to affect power of spells, but I was thinking of this before, thanks to playing CF when Solace was down for a year).


Added: This could definitely apply to half-kender as well (with a different basis, obviously)

My half-elf supports this entirely! 
And by the way, some of us lost trains due to the change.

Your wish... is granted. Same principle also applies to half-kenders.
Grab at next reboot or crash near you.

Great, thanks a bunch Nui!

[Samaine]

*cheers at Nui*

Thankyouthankyou, you're awesome!

Now my half-elf mage won't be 1 int above a kender mage.

You forgot to mention that half-elves and half-drow in cf have quiet movement instead of sneak, which is  much worse, and a decent vuln to iron/silver ^^
