Out of curiosity, why isn't this an option?
Half-Elf Clerics
Cause half elves are too awsome and would make too strong of a cleric.
I wouldn't think it would be a power issue. If FL had a more in-depth religion system, where races had individual dieties, I would see an objection, but I am curious as to why this is as well.
Because half-elves can be neutral, and neutral clerics are the DEVIL!
humans can be neutral... as can dwarves and halflings
Because h-elves are a waste of time. Due to their half breed nature they are too insecure and not enough in solace to have the power to worship a god.......oh wait they can be pallies.......
I see no reason why they aint an option...
Actually, I think half-elf druids would fit much better.
half-elf mages too!
Half-elves have some of the lesser abilities of both parents, but in other ways, it cancels out. In this case, their impure stock devoids them of the ability to use magic, clerical or mage.
They're also sterile.
They are not sterile, their offspring will be either pure human or pure elf, depending on if they mate with an elf or a human. And I still say H-Elves are one of the best races.

...for re-equipping off.
Nah, in all seriousness, the only three classes I would ever play as a Half-elf (looking strictly at the PK aspect before anyone decides to start flaming me for disregarding RP) would be Monk, Paladin and Ninja.
Monk, for easier training. Plus, it's the only other race apart from Human (excluding Undead). Human would be stronger I think, but I hate training. H-elf plus sickly perk..
Ninja, for strictly assassination. Most races can pull that off though, so H-elf would be great if the RP fit.
Paladin, sits inbetween Human and Elf. Human has better strength and max hp, Elf has better max mana/dex. Half-elf ends up with the inbetween figures as far as HP/mana/strength/dex goes. I've played and condeathed paladins from all races, and whilst I'd consider Half-elf the weakest race of the three, Half-elf Paladin is still not a weak combo IMO.

Since everyone but me thinks half elves are so weak, why not up them a bit? Remove the iron vuln, thats all I ask.
Half-elves don't have the iron vuln.
Dey
I thought they still couldn't use iron stuff, pick up yes, but not use. Havn't checked in a while.
shrug I'm pretty sure they don't have the vuln, and that they can use iron as they wish, but I may well be wrong.

Or I could be confused. I just got back, I'm allowed to make mistakes.

I'd bet they'd make a decent bard. And I also have wanted to do a half-elf crusader for a while. Maybe if I start playing again.
Probably. I'm just going by personal preference - if I was looking solely at the PK aspect of things, I would personally choose Dwarf over Half-elf for a bard, and Storm Giant over Half-elf for a Crusader.

H-Elves should be a restring race. Bloody useless race.
