Human Racial Traits

Adaptability | Potential

TraitDescription
Constant AdaptationA Human being is capable of learning just about any skill, talent, or knowledge in a short amount of time. In game terms, a Human learns all Abilities at 1 day less than normal (1 day for a new Ability, 2 days to raise to Rank 2, 4 days to raise to Rank 3, et cetera). When teaching himself an Ability, this 1 day reduction is taken into account following the doubling of the time.

In addition, a Human can teach himself up to Rank 3 in any Ability, one higher than the standard Rank 2 restriction, but still doubling the required learning time (prior to the one day reduction).

Infinite PotentialHumanity is said to be capable of anything they can imagine: fire 1 to 1.8 million years ago, the wheel in the 5th millennium BC, untethered lighter-than-air flight on November 21, 1783, travel to space on April 12, 1961, interplanetary travel on July 21, 1969. This "infinite potential" allows Human characters to purchase their Abilites at character creation for 1 less CCP (in other words, it costs Humans 2 CCP instead of the normal 3 to purchase starting Abilities).

In addition, whenever a Human character gain 5 or more Experience Points, he or she gains an additional 1 Exp for each set of 5 Exp awarded. For instance, if William H. Gates is awarded 12 Exp for a Storyline reward, he would instead gain 14 Exp (2 additional for two sets of 5). Similarly, if Jessica Alba is set to gain 7 Exp, she would instead gain 8 (1 additional for one set of 5).
