The human martial weapon is meant to keep their design parallel with the other races, who often get martial weapon training with a small set of culturally familiar weapons. If we change this for humans, we should also give the other races a set skill or two, that are appropriate to the race, and can always be considered a class skill. The PC would need to sacrifice the set of racially preferred weapons to choose the bonus class skills. This might complicate things too much, but I think its important to keep the races designs consistent. It's easier to be sure they are balanced that way.

If this is the case, what martial weapon does the half-elf get? The precedent has already been set by the half-elf race that not all races necessarily get martial weapon training.
Personally I'm not a huge fan of the martial weapon ability of the humans anyways. It just doesn't sit right with me for some reason.

I would suggest that a half-elf, like a human, would get a choice. This is tricky, though. It runs the risk of making half-elves and humans too similar. Is a choice of any light or finessable weapon too focused or narrow?
