[QUOTE="Rasyr, post: 1875805, member: 2855"] For the most part, it is the same dice mechanic that has been used in Rolemaster for close to 20 years. I applied the mechanic in a slightly different manner, but in essence it is still the same mechanic. :cool: I really like experimenting and tweaking things, so HARP is a game that is easy to tweak and adjust to suit each GMs individual style. Races are one part of that.

Yes, you are "getting it", though I never think of it as a double bonus. To me, a smarter or stronger person would be able to develop more. However, there are a few others who do think it is a double bonus and have decided to give only a static number of DPs per level.
