Bcs Variant Human get reduced Ability Scores improvement, and (more importantly) its for single race only (Or at least i never heared anyone around here talking about Variant Tiefling, Half-Orc, Dwarf, Halfling, Gnome, Githyanki, etc.) ... it dont even exclude that missing content, bcs as it was said, Variant Humans would simply get two feats instead of one > Ballance restored. wink

1. You are correct and an obvious answer to validate or deny such request would be the PHB.

2. That's my point before having variant everything e.g. variant half-orc or other frivolous additional content e.g. a GDR. It is legitimate to get the variant human, first. There wouldn't be a balance restored: variant being only human is the actual core game. I will argue I d rather have Tasha caldron of everything content implemented (with new subclasses etc...) Before custom content. Lastly this is typically what mod should be catering for.
