I could have listed all 6 exact drawbacks, but I even added the flexibility of choosing two scores to go down 1 each, which may be too good to be honest ;)

We have applied racial penalties to ALL races, that is what our drawbacks to; half-elves get the advantage of where to apply those penalties.

At this stage half-elves are ahead of PHB b/c they gain a Wild Talent as extra. Only b/c I have not been into the PHB yet. To keep the PHB races even, I have paired Wild Talent with a usual subrace or race feature and you get one or the other. Meaning in a none-psionic world, the race is still balanced.

Half-elves I guess are based upon choice. I am not sure about the counteracting stat bonus you mean.

Obviously, I am not done with this one. I have to put that feature in vs the Wild Talent. I can't recall half-elven features, but I was thinking the proficiency choice?

No other race I can think of has this. In addition they get virtually nothing else (in addition to PHB) except a Wild Talent. TO me it just feels like you are completely counteracting the stats bonus that every other race gets, which is a huge penalty.

Half-Elf Feature:??? still needs to be written unless it is just a half-elven racial feat.

Remember, half-elves in Athas fit into the 'disliked by bother parentage groups' - hence the Wayward drawback.

They also get access to a couple of racial feats that standard half-elves would not :)

Have a look. Tell me what you think.
