I've been thinking a lot about the role of humans in this game and I think that getting +1 to all stats is great, but it's not on par with other racial abilities or even cantrips that other races are getting.
I really think that drows and half-drows getting faerie fire at lvl 3 is incredibly powerful, not to mention that drow also receive weapon proficiencies and extra perception (or stealth?).
I think humans should receive either 1 extra skill proficiency and a free weapon proficiency at level 1 that they can freely choose as a way to reflect their versatility and adaptibility. I think this would bring them up to par with the rest of the races out there, who all have something extra besides bonuses to their attributes (and all races do get +2 at least to some of them, allowing them to start with a 17) and a lot of other goodies. Almost all other races get darkvision, meaning only humans and halflings have to deal with that, also many of the races receive some kind of racial cantrip or spell like ability, which is something I don't want humans to get, I think humans shoul definitely go with more "mundane" bonuses.
I also considered the idea of playable variant humans, but I generally dislike that quite a bit because I think that would reflect our real world issues in a non-flattering way, and while I fully approve of diversity and inclusion I think there shouldn't be a cognitive differennce between human variants, and it should be merely a cosmetic issue (please tell me if you disagree and why, I'm really interested).
Do you guys have any other ideas about how to make humanity better?
Any ideas what would make them worse?
