The irony is that it was only with the human benefits of 3e that people had a positive reason to play humans rather than a negative (and often house-ruled away) reason to not play demihumans. Ultimately, I don't have a problem with humans having better stat modifiers since they get little else. But then, I also roll my stats and have my players do so when I run games so I don't really care much about relative stat costs. I don't see how a +1 on every stat is supposed to work for point buy character gen, though. Going with all 13s as in the packet example yields the human player all 14s compared to demihumans with 2 14s. Not a breaker with the actual stat mods since they're just 1 point higher, but that works out to 8 extra points worth of stats. I can't see people who favor point buy being satisfied with that since they are usually so obsessed with stat balance in the first place.</blockquote>
