Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mistwell" data-source="post: 6340626" data-attributes="member: 2525">You can take a feat, or you can take +2 to one ability.  That's the balance.  The balance is not based on humans as a race.  Humans as a race involves way too many factors of the value of other racial abilities, the inability to get a +2 in one ability, the value of boosting your least important abilities, flavor issues, setting issues, the value of a feat at first level instead of later, the balance of optional abilities, etc..So no, I don't buy your analysis that the way to measure the value of a feat (or a skill) is based on what a human can do as an option at first level with feats.  We know how feats were balanced, and it was not off of the human racial stuff.</blockquote>
