[QUOTE="BluejayJunior, post: 7622329, member: 6918769"] I think the +1 to all stats is fine and don't think it really falls behind in power much. But it also depends on the players that you have. If they are more power gamer oriented, then they might skip the normal human in order to pick something that might synergize better with whatever character they want to play. But if they are on the other end of that spectrum, then they will pick whatever sounds cool/fun to them regardless of the synergies. I would assume most players probably fall somewhere in between those two points. If your players are those that will skip humans because they aren't seen as powerful enough, then maybe adding a skill proficiency or something would be appropriate. It might be worth it to ask your players what they are thinking of playing, and then, if no one picks a human, getting feedback from them on why they decided to pick another race. Some people just find humans boring because they're humans in real life. [/QUOTE]
