You don't have both classes, you have them both as "favored class". The only thing being a favored class grants is that when you take a level in that class, you have the ability to select either +1 skill rank, +1 HP, or a racial bonus depending on the race and class. "Whenever a character gains a level in his favored class, he receives either + 1 hit point or + 1 skill rank." CRB pg. 31, the racial option was added later.

If you only take levels in one class, Multitalented never does anything, period. It only does something if you take actual levels in both classes (multiclassing), and even than it's only a few points of HP or skill ranks.

Well that sucks, but thanks for the help

Hi guys,

I am pretty new to playing pathfinder and i have a question about the multitalented racial trait for half-elfs. The rolebook says "Multitalented: Half-elves choose two favored classes at first level and gain +1 hit point or +1 skill point whenever they take a level in either one of those classes." So if i choose ranger and rogue for example, will i get the class features and the class skills of both classes or do i have to choose one class?

Although Gyros seems to be confused, speaking about "favored classes" from PF1, there is a PF2 feat called "multitalented" that gives you a second class, in a sense. But it's a ninth-level feat, so you're not getting it right off the bat.

The best bet is taking a multiclass archetype, starting at 2nd level. You'd have to choose one class (rogue or ranger) at 1st level, and choose a MC archetype dedication at 2nd level for the other one. Each choice will give you specific options with the second class, rather than carte-blanche access to both classes.

my bad we are playing 1st edition indeed, but thanks for the help anyway :)

I just started playing pathfinder and my character is a half-elf rogue/ranger. The rule book says that half elfs have two favored classes at lvl 1. Does that mean you get the class skills and class features for both classes at lvl 1?
