Talents that give you DX bonuses --> change?

Yes, I like this.

Another idea I've mentioned before which also takes out the "ninja halflings" issue is to just let halflings get Thrown Weapons or Missile Weapons for 1 IQ point, but not give them all an automatic bonus that stacks with those talents.

It wouldn't need the +2 DX, so the evil day when characters will be making just about every to hit roll will be delayed.

Yes, though I think I'd prefer a Fencing-like increased chance of double or triple, and for Thrown Weapons especially, I like the range reduction rather than DX+, since Thrown Weapons have a really steep range adjustment.
