So, getting away from the recent questions about half-elves and their FCB's, I was looking at their Multitalented ability. Here it is for reference.
So, my question is if the +1 hit/skill point is in addition to the one they normal gain from level up in a favored class? If not, should the language have been cleared up to state that, and add in the alternat FCB's they can choose from when the Advanced Race Guide came out?
And that's one way, and honestly most likely the RAI way. RAW though, if the half-elf barbarian and rogue, the whenever he takes a level in either he could get: 2 hit points, 2 skills points, or one of them and the alternate favored class bonus.

Nope.
You're just being obstinate. I've been a professional editor for 25 years (in English) and the language is unambiguous.How do you get +1 for your rogue class when you take a level in your ranger class? You do not get one. You did not take a level in rogue as well as ranger; you took ONE level of Ranger so you get the +1 one time. Next level, you take a level of Rogue, explain to me how you get the +1 for taking the ranger level when you took one level of rogue.
Have no idea why you're trying to twist this to your personal advantage other than ego or English isn't your first language.
This is the only place where a character can have two favored classes (without feat). You declare it at character generation (permanently). Just because you have two favored classes does not mean you get the +1 (skill/hp) more than once PER LEVEL. There is no implication of this whatever.
Azten, I will have to admit that I do not see how you could read the RAW to mean that you get either 2 points to skills or hit points for a single level in one of your favored classes.
As has been mentioned, every time you take a level you may chose ONE benefit from the list of benefits that pertain to that class and your race. It really is that simple.

It's not about ego, and English is my first language. This is an honest question that I've admitted in my first post is not likely RAI.
Perhaps I'm not explaining it well.
I know normally you only get one +1 or other bonus. It's like that for Dwarves, Gnomes, Vanaras, etc. That's from just leveling up.
But half-elves have a racial feature that adds not only a second favored class, but seems to add an additional +1 hit or skill point on top of that.
Lv1: Rogue and Ranger are picked.
First level is Rogue, so you get the normal favored class bonus and, as a racial feature, an extra +1 hit point it one extra skill point.
Why not just say they get two favored classes and not anything more?
Look, dude, I'm not going to entertain you on this.
Sit at my table with a character with +2 hit points per level, and I'll throw you out for being a cheater.
The fact that you're STILL being obstinate about a simple sentence says you're probably not the kind of player I would enjoy being with anyway. I can't help you because you've decided to be irrational and only accept an answer that agrees with you.
Good luck.

My questions was if it was in addition(I explained how it could be and you misread it) and if the language should be cleared up. Jiggy has a better explanation than you did.
