Limitations of Half-Elves
Limitations of Half-Elves
I don't understand why half-elves aren't certain classes. Ones that come to mind right away would be: Illusionist, shaman, invoker, enchanter, anti-paladin (seeing as half-elves aren't readily accepted), and cleric. Half elf doesn't really have a niche that I've seen but I'm just starting out so any insight would help.

Actually, the only class I would say I would give to the half-elf race would be rogue.
I believe the reasoning--as you touched on--is that half-elves aren't really accepted by the elven and human races. Thus, no one wants to teach them the typical crafts (magic, non-nature healing) and the crafts they DO learn are from wandering around and/or communing with nature. Thus, the bard, druid and ranger class choices. As for anti-paladin, they're not generally an evil race, and they would have to be accepted by evil humans (and their gods) to be this class.
Oops, got paladin w/anti confused. I mean paladin, because they would seek refuge I think in their denial from normal society. Definitely agree with rogue - forgot that too. Considering they can be bards. Really hoping to see some illusionists and elementalists available. Not even 18, so I don't know what or much of D&D but the more I play the mud, the more I think about it when I'm not :)

You are not mistaken. However, currently Volos do the same thing, if I am not mistaken. This would simply open up the playing field.

Um... that was changed like 3 years ago...........It doesnt work like it did for Corth anymore.

The change that was made "to Corth" wasn't actually to Corth or his Volo's. The imms changed the illusionist spell that allowed the illus to "hide" and move. Currently, the illusion can "hide" but not move w/o breaking hide, even if using volo boots.
Now as for leveling the playing field, please say you're joking or something. Volos are semi-artifact at the moment b/c tiamat isn't in the game. Allowing half-elves to be illusionists would eliminate a very cool aspect of being an illusionist and having volo boots. Sometimes the uber players do deserve something that us casual players cannot attain.

I agree that half-elves need more career choices. I don't see anything wrong with the other suggestions of voker, warrior, rogue. Maybe shaman, since who knows what that displaced half-elf is doing!
Holy crap, wouldn't it be nice to give half-elf the unique class of melee: Mercenary. Totally fits the theme.
