The 25-point-buy hasn't really affected that much.One guy will only play a race if he gets the +2 in both prime stats, but still wants his characters to appear human (and for all non-mechanical purposes be human), most of the time. This is what has caused the most tension with my co-DM; I don't have a problem with that and she does.Everyone else pretty much picks for flavour, or a combination of flavour and mechanics. We did feel though, that humans could use a little something extra. We had tossed around the idea of a double-plus-two, but I thought it might make them too good. 25 points seemed a good compromise.Our groups often have a lot of humans, but that might be preference and concept more than mechanical reasons. We don't have a problem with other races, but the game world we use is fairly human-centric, the time of other races' zenith has passed.</blockquote>
