My bad, was trying only to spread out the possible stats - and I wasn't exactly using references up above.

More pitching the idea to put that train of thought in the discussion.

I'll stick my hat into this one.

So we have multiple sub-races now for the half-elves, would it be uncalled for to give them a +2 stat boost depending on their choice of sub-race?

This would give them the position of being the only standard race that gets a +2 with no 'downside' stat, but since other races also get other serious goodies (humans get the feats and skills, halflings get small sized, lucky, the possibility even of a bonus feat, elves proficiency and keen senses, etc...)

Here would be a basic suggestion for it.

Wild half-elf: +2 Str
Wood half-elf: +2 Dex
Sun half-elf: +2 Int
Moon Half-elf: +2 Cha

With everything else staying the same, this I think 'bumps' half-elf mechanically into being viable; however, I'll shoot my own foot here and say I'm playing a Half-elf right now, and I don't really feel all that gimped, really when it comes down to it I pick a race based on backstory and not stats. Without any changes I'd still consider half-elves fine.
