Half-Elf Favoured class ability question


Rules Questions

Sczarni

I recently started playing pathfinder and myself and one other member in my party chose to make Half-Elf characters. They said that with the Half-Elf favoured class ability it is possible to choose the same class twice (if you decide not to multiclass) so every level you can choose between 2 hp, 1 hp and 1 skill point, 2 skill points or in the case of a special racial or class ability (eg summoner 1/4 evo point up), one could take that twice. This seems somewhat strong to me but is possible to do this?

Choose TWO favored classes. They must be different and they can NOT be prestige classes.


Yep, I'm afraid that Ossian is right. The half elf ability is a bit rubbish. Even if you want to multi-class, you're still better being human for the extra skill point regardless of what class you take. (Unless you are after the extra hit point).


Hopefully, the Advanced Race Guide will give us more alternate traits to replace the multitalented beyond the unimpressive arcane training from Advanced Players Guide.

Thanks for the clarification all!
