[QUOTE="Connorsrpg, post: 5993114, member: 19265"] Another also hoping Trolls and Ogres and the like get a Strength boost. So humans need something, but this idea completely throws what ability bonuses are out of whack for me. So if humans are above 'average' in all abilities, then who or what IS the average. I just don't like it at all. I like [MENTION=1210]the Jester[/MENTION]'s idea of a +1 to worst and best stat, or simply 2 +1's of the player's choice. If we want something extra for humans, why not tap into that versatilty that is in most of their racial write-ups and grant them an extra Specialty. That would work better IMHO. The Rogue seems to work OK with an extra BG. I don't think there is anywhere else a double Specialty would conflict. It is basically granting the extra feat humns got in the previous two editions (with others to come). If the player would rather an extra skill they simply choose Jack-of-all-Trades Specialty. I would rather something like this than throwing the Ability bonuses out of whack. [/QUOTE]
