In games with fantasy races, especially in RPGs, how should human race be balanced instead of the usual "balanced in all areas" like most games love to do?
>>736155016Humans should be the best at everything, and should impregnate women of other races
Don't balance it. You want to wrestle a huge minotaur that can just rip off your arms as a human? Well get fucked because now you're armless
no real specialization except for breeding
humans should be "jacks of all trades, masters of none"
It should depend on your setting and what you want humans to be good at. Humans in reality are OP primates, agile tool users with long distance running endurance and social animals, on top of the whole higher intelligence we have going. If you're going for straight up fantasy though you can basically invent fantasy abilities that only humans can have.
>>736155016Combat particularly ballistics and some intelligence.Everyone likes to claim we're not specialised meanwhile I can throw a ball at any height and you'll be able to catch it midair because your brain is calculating it's ballistics constantly to determine where it's going and where you'll be able to intercept it. Every sport that includes another object has ballistics as part of it's gameplay.Yes we can do everything we can do but not everybody. You can't take any person and have them do anything but you can take any person, have them catch a ball and have them throw a ball at an object with reasonable accuracy.Our speciality is ballistics. We're so good at it that our bodies adapted to being able to perform more accurate throws.

>>736155016It makes no sense to make them anything else but the 'balanced race'.Humans are the measure of which we rank other fantasy races.We have no other comparison than ourselves
