Except those we would call "genetic" traits.We'll we get a "culture" bonuses? I don't know, maybe it would be easier with few race traits that are interchangeable on character creation.So let's start....Humans:As they will be the "default" option(and they must get something), I would expect humans to once again be very open ended with their choices, and as all races get same ability boosts in the end we have to give humans something...
