Dodge on bonus action (windling) is NOT balanced by slightly reduced HP and damage.

Trying to model the Windling's bonus to Physical Defense due to being a tiny target without giving them an actual AC bonus is difficult. Part of the reason why they had that, however, was the fact that in Earthdawn, Windlings couldn't use shields effectively (despite the Windling Cavalryman being shown carrying one).
I would instead give them advantage on Dexterity saving throws, which isn't really busted (Gnomes get advantage on most Int/Wis/Cha saves after all) and achieves a similar benefit. If that seems too good, you could do +1d4 to those saves instead.

Blood Elves were not playable in 1e I don't think (the version I started with) so had not got to them. They would be scary to be around. Intimidation as a skill, resistance to psychic damage? Anything else you would suggest.
Definitely a good game fix. Would need to look at the lore. Would make it easier to give them other stuff.
Fair point, which is why the idea of limiting it to proficiency times per day is a good one.

I'll be. The Blood Elves are one of the things I remember most clearly from way back then; I didn't even realize they weren't a playable option. My mistake!
No worries, no reason why they couldn't be. Its a pretty dark setting so they could definitely be fitted in.

Blood Elves in 1e were found in The Blood Wood supplement.
Cool. What were their features?
