The subject line says it all. He is now a halfling. What do I do?
...Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution scores depend partly on the new body. First eliminate the subject’s racial adjustments (since it is no longer necessarily of his previous race) and then apply the adjustments found below to its remaining ability scores.
The listed changes for a halfling are -2 str; +2 dex; +0 con.
Here is my question: When it says to elimainate the subjects racial adjustments, will my human lose the +2 he put into intelligence? The wording looks like it only applies to the subjects physical abilities.
You'll celebrate that's what you'll do!
Since Int is a mental stat you don't lose anything stat wise there -- you take a -2 to strength (which you don't need) and gain a +2 to dex (which is nice) -- also since you are small you'll get a +1 to hit and AC from size. The halfling luck feature also means that you'll get a +1 to all your save throws... in addition to low light vision and keen senses.
All in all very lucky -- all you lose is 10 foot from your movement speed, and once you cast overland flight that no longer matters.
Thats what I thought, I just wanted to be sure before I started adjusting my character sheet. My GM is being a butt about all my gear being sized for a medium character though, lol.

Two words: Zoot Suit.
You keep struttin', pimp that style, and hold you head up as high as you can now and let the hater hate. ;)
ROFL ... that was great.

The majority of magical gear (rings, amulets, bracers, etc.) will resize to fit anyone of any size. I think magical armor, shields, and weapons are an exception though. Your out of luck as far as most mundane gear goes.
Heh, hope that's all he gives you a hard time about! That's an interesting case, because some DM's take a reincarnation all the way, as in your case you would forfeit your human bonus feat and lose a number of skill ranks equal to your level (OUCH)! You would get them back if you returned to being a human somehow (lucky reincarnation, wish or limited wish, etc) but otherwise that downside can really hurt.
Reincarnation can result in some crazy shenanigans!
Actually this is covered by the spell -- you don't lose feats or skill points -- you simply don't gain any extra either.

You're all clear then good sir! I had actually never noticed that reincarnate can specifically bring a character back that has died of old age, now that is interesting! Especially if you have a wish or miracle to fix things up if you have the unfortunate luck to come back as a kobold!

Yeah, that's a Pathfinder change up. In v3.5, once you died of old age, you stayed dead.
With human you have very good chances of getting something better with Re-incarnate (especially if you boosted a mental stat), cause humans don't loose any of their class abilities (bonus feat and extra skill points, both come from culture and mind), but you can gain so much more :) (that is if you don't mind being a different species).
In Munchkinland everyone would start as human, die and be re-incarnated until he ends up with a race that suits his needs. Bonus feat and +1 skill per level for everyone!
In your case you got very lucky. For a magic user small size and a dex bonus is very nice.

And by 'a race that suits his needs' you can only refer to bugbear!
