On Nature Vs. Nurture

[Emma]

Alright, I have a thought... I know that a race is buying into a culture normally... and it's been decided with Humans vs. sub-races that even if a sub-race is raised in human society, they get their racial boost, not the base-line human one.

My question is this. What about non-humans? For example, if a Konti was raised by an Akalak, could you take the unarmed combat bonus instead of the one for healing or seeing? How about a Myrian raised by Jamoura getting wilderness survival? And what if the race doesn't have culture, but was chosen for appearance alone (Like a Chaktawe raised by desert fox's)?

Mizahar subscribes to the KISS principle.
That means..keep it simple stupid.
While you have a valid argument for
the real world, to control godmoding
and power pc combos since our races
are nicely balanced.... what you pick
as a race is what you get as a bonus.
It is your job as a player to write the
background of the pc so it makes sense
rather than our jobs as admins to
flex our rules so your pc makes sense.
