    Default (P6) Capstone and Human buff?

    Humans are lackluster in E6 environments, so I was considering this racial ability:
    Gifted - Humans are treated as having two virtual levels in their preferred class for purposes of qualifying for prerequisites only. For instance, a human level 4 Barbarian can select Rage powers which require the character to be level 6.

    Thoughts? balance concerns? This also would be stacking with a "Capstone" feat which has the same effect, as well as granting +1 level of class abilities (like sneak attack dice, etc, but not spells, bab, or extra uses of class abilities) for one class. Yes, this means that a human single class character could use feats or class powers (Rage powers, etc) with a level 10 prerequisite.

    Reaching higher level abilities is a bit iffy. In some cases it doesn't mean much on others its means quite a bit.

    None of the other races have a racial trait that takes advantage of the E6 system so why should humans? So I don't like the idea but do have some alternatives.

    Instead allow humans to pick one of their alternate racial traits, without replacing one existing trait. So for example a P6 human would have
    +2 to One Ability Score
    Bonus Feat trait
    Skilled Trait
    And then they could pick one of the "heart of the [insert terrain]" traits or they could take "Dual Talent" while only losing either the skilled or bonus feat trait instead of both.
    Nale is no more, he has ceased to be, his hit points have dropped to negative ten, all he was is now dust in the wind, he is not Daniel Jackson dead, he is not Kenny dead, he is final dead, he will not pass through death's revolving door, his fate will not be undone because the executives renewed his show for another season. His time had run out, his string of fate has been cut, the blood on the knife has been wiped. He is an Ex-Nale! Now can we please resume watching the Order save the world.
