Half-elves, too. They gimped it. Elves are better options for every character build (because they get Perception) except for people who want to play a wizard or sorcerer to get the free armor proficiencies.
I'm sorry, but this has got to the one of dumbest changes of all the things they needlessly changed from 5e rules. If wizards and sorcerers were meant to start with free armor proficiency, then that would have been baked into the classes. So many dumb, unnecessary homebrew changes in this game.
