[QUOTE="DeviousQuail, post: 8379037, member: 7025431"] I created a variant human 2.0 for a futuristic game but it works for standard 5e with a couple modifications. Since humans were the only playable species I needed them to be more varied. [SPOILER="Spoiler for length"] All humans start with two languages (common and a free pick). Then you choose up to 5 of the following options with a maximum point cost of 4. Cannot choose options that overlap (e.g. Impressive (Strength) and Superior (Strength) or multiple instances of Quick) [LIST] [*]Impressive, +2 to any attribute (2) [*]Superior, +1 to any attribute (1) [*]Inferior, -1 to any attribute (-1) [*]Natural, prof with any skill (1) [*]Expert, expertise with any skill (2) [*]Incompetent, treat all rolls of 11-20 as a 10 with one skill (-1) [*]Adapted eyesight, darkvision 30 feet (1) [*]Quick, +5 movement speed (1) [*]Responsive, +2 initiative (1) [*]Slow, -5 movement speed (-1) [*]Dull, -2 initiative (-1) [*]Resilience, prof with a saving throw (2) [*]Mutlilingual, learn an additional language (1) [*]Monolingual, lose extra language from being human (-1) [*]Basic Training, prof with two simple and two martial weapons (1) [*]Adept, 1 wizard cantrip using Int (1) [*]Magical Studies, learn a 1st-level wizard spell you can cast 1/LR (1) [*]Devout, 1 cleric cantrip using Wis (1) [*]Clerical Training, learn a 1st-level cleric spell you can cast 1/LR (1) [/LIST] It'd be pretty easy to add or remove options based on the setting.
