While I can see where you're coming from, I'd like to point you to the Orc. Trading the Brutal Critical and Relentless Endurance traits for a -2 Int, Powerful Build, and Aggressive does not make 12 points. It makes 7. Unless mechanical weight is assigned to Powerful Build, and a negative...

Australia's getting the limited edition cover? Cool. Thought that'd be america only. On topic, based on some of the online leaks I've seen, I doubt that all of the races would have the 11.5-12.5 points that you define as balanced.

That is exactly what I'm trying to say - mechanical benefits need to be explicit, or by-the-books groups will be putting players of characters with such features at a disadvantage.
