[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 8851101, member: 85555"] I don't want to get into this but I do strongly reject this idea. Sure a person might inherent certain traits from their parents, but I think most differences across human groups are cultural. Obviously some physical characteristics can matter (I'm not a 6 foot tall Norwegian and so I am never going to fight in the heavy weight division of boxing). But a lot of this has also proved to be related to things like diet. I don't think it warrants modifiers between human groups. Like I said, I think the birthright campaign setting, could be wrong here so someone correct me if so, had modifiers for human groups, and the groups seemed to have obvious human analogs. That didn't sit very well with me. I remember when I was young you still had people who believed in some of that old racialist science and I always found it pretty gross (especially since it was a weapon that could be turned on people for fairly minor ethnic differences). And we also saw the results of it in the 20th century. [/QUOTE]
