If you want to focus on one specific area of a class, their bonus will come in handy. Half-elves are suitable for any class with the skill versatility they have. They have proficiency in two skills of their choice and can read and speak in three languages right off the bat. They are born with Darkvision, and their Fey Ancestry gives them immunity from being put to sleep magically, and advantage throws against being charmed. Half-elves take a little bit from both races they come from.
Also, halflings have advantage against being frightened, and stout halflings have extra constitution while lightfoots have more charisma. This means you essentially have inspiration at all times for the worst rolls you will have in the future. When you roll a d20 and get a one, you can immediately roll again for a better result. When creating one, you get a dexterity increase of two, and they have an insanely useful trait called Lucky. Halflings are a community-driven race that enjoy the people they are around.
