Include sub-races into the mix and you can have a whole smorgasboard...but we'll keep it simple for now.I'd go something like this:"If you want to be a race other than human, you can spend some of your ability score bonuses to purchase racial features to flavor your character as a certain race. Select one of the Races below to select different traits. Bonuses spent on racial traits can not exceed 4 of your 6 initial ability bonuses. All features must be chosen from the same race.
