In the campaign document he shared with us today, this is included:-"If you so wish, I would allow a racial bonus of +2 to any ability score to be swapped for a feat for which you qualify. However, if your chosen race already has floating bonuses (such as half elves) then this would not be allowed."Since a player can choose a half feat, this means that any race can get a 16 in any ability score at 1st level (satisfying those who want such flexibility), while at the same time each race as a whole still has those iconic bonuses (satisfying those who want these things to make sense). It also opens up the chance to get a feat at first level beyond humans.I haven't taken advantage of it myself, but that is because I already have my character concept worked out and I'm happy with it. But it must be said that the reason I started making a human character is because I wanted to start with a certain feat, and no other race gets a feat at 1st level. Had I known about this option sooner, would I have made a different PC or chosen a different race? I cannot know.I haven't got any feedback from the other players yet, but I'll let you guys know after Wednesday's session zero.</blockquote>
