Hello, children.
So what we've discovered in implementing these new subraces is that NWN 2 is hardcoded to only give the level 1 racial bonus feat to the races that occupy the original "Human" and "Strongheart" halfling rows in the racialsubtypes.2da. This is why new PCs created with the subraces aren't getting their bonus level 1 feat at character generation (but skillpoints work fine). There are a few ways to address this:
1. We could develop a script/gui in-game to let new humans choose an ability score to increase. This is not going to happen. I'm only including this so you pedantic code monkeys don't offer it as a suggestion.
2. We decide that all human subraces get the same bonus feat at level 1. The front runner in the few conversations I've had is Luck of Heroes, but I'm open to suggestions.
3. We decide that all human subraces get a bonus feat at level 1 related to the attribute increase. Probably be something along the lines of Power Attack and the feat that gives +1 to skill checks involving Strength for Strength humans, but open to suggestions.
Please participate in the poll and offer your feat suggestions.
