Good evening
I was brainstorming with my DM about a way to make humans special, without giving a feat. We also tried to find a way to illustrate that humans are racially inferior, but are quick to adapt to new situations.
Darkness will be a major theme in the campaign, so the loss of darkvision will hurt a lot.
Here is what we came up with: humans can use point buy (27) instead of the Standard Array, they do not get any racial stat modifiers or abilities, but they always get a free "virtual level." To clarify: they start the game at level 2, and are always 1 level ahead on the XP curve.
What do you think? Too powerful? Not powerful enough?
