The current stats bonuses are just that. Moreover, in D&D Next ability scores seem to be vastly less important than ever before. The number of places where you'd normally plug in your ability modifiers in 3.x or 4E vastly dwarfs the current Next paradigm. And while admittedly, due to the shift towards bounded accuracy the actual modifiers may matter more at times, there seems to be a fair few ways to get around that in most cases (the Rogue for example).All that said, I really have no issue with the stats bonuses humans get. They can have the same modifier on their primary stat as anyone else initially, and the rest are of very little impact. The other races get some really powerful, and frankly far more flavorful or just plain cool, benefits. Elves and dwarves are far better than Halflings in my opinion though, and I'd say better than Humans as well.</blockquote>
