But I'm leaning more towards Graf's argument that that is just a system of twinking that is unneccessary. So I was going to suggest scrapping the idea of region benefits all together.But I have an alternative suggestion, rather than giving out free regional benefits a-la-FR why not set up these region benefits as feats taken at first level? I'd suggest beefing them up a little bit so that they are equivalent in balance to existing feats (perhaps adding training in a particular skill or a larger skill bonus for example).  That way we are encouraging people to create characters in our developed regions but also not penalizing those who create characters from their own regions.</blockquote>
