Human Traits

It's hard to make generalizations about humans, but your human character has these traits.

Ability Score Increase. One ability score of your choice increases by 2, and two other ability scores of your choice increase by 1.

Adaptability. When you make an ability check, you may decide to add only your proficiency bonus instead of any other modifier to the roll. You may do so even if the roll would normally be reduced by other modifiers. You can do so after seeing the roll but before any of the roll's effects occur. You can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.

Age. Humans reach adulthood in their late teens and live less than a century.

Alignment. Humans tend toward no particular alignment. The best and the worst are found among them.

Size. Humans vary widely in height and build, from barely 5 feet to well over 6 feet tall. Regardless of your position in that range, your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Skill Versatility. You gain proficiency in two skills of your choice.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and one extra language of your choice. Humans typically learn the languages of other peoples they deal with, including obscure dialects. They are fond of sprinkling their speech with words borrowed from other tongues: Orc curses, Elvish musical expressions, Dwarvish military phrases, and so on.
