Getting back to the topic at hand:

But if the last feature isn't a feat option but is Polearm Proficiency, then yes Human is the worst race choice by far.

I expect that it's like you suggest, part of the Polearm Mastery Feat which that particular player chose.

Particularly as I think Polearm Master was on that list of feats in game.
Good to know that Polearm Master is on the list of feats for the game, and it makes me more confident in my theory that humans get a free feat. A level 1 feat is pretty significant in 5e, although unfortunately some feats are vastly more powerful than others (e.g., GWM and Sharpshooter) and can thus have a probably-too-large effect on level 1 characters' effectiveness.

If true, then BG3 humans will actually be strictly better than Variant Human due to the +2/+1 instead of +1/+1. As variant human is already a very commonly chosen race...I thought Larian didn't want us to play Boring Human Character™ xD
