[QUOTE="The Crimson Binome, post: 7356951, member: 6775031"] Unless I missed something with the update, he didn't actually say that most humans have feats. We don't have data on that. We don't actually know whether most humans are variant humans, or even whether most humans are played in games that allow feats. It was misleading to suggest that most characters are humans without feats, but we don't know what the breakdown is on how many games allow feats. It would make sense [I]to me[/I] that humans are more frequently chosen in games that allow feats, but we don't actually know that for certain. All we know is that humans are more popular than any of the other options, and most characters don't have any feats. If the true reality is that only thirty percent of characters are human (with each other race showing less than that), and seventy percent of all games disallow feats outright (which seems right to me), then our data is still consistent with that. Or maybe sixty percent of all characters are human, and ninety percent of all games allow feats, but most human characters are standard rather than variants; our data is also consistent with that. TL;DR - We don't have enough data to conclude whether most humans have feats. It certainly [I]sounds[/I] like the feats option is wildly over-represented in these forums as compared to the real world, and most games just ignore that chapter entirely, but we don't have enough data to state that either.
