So, I have this Water Genasi Cleric, been tinkering with some custom origin stuff for my characters and I noticed something (tried to share screenshots, but can't seem to get that to work, oh well). In the custom origin page of the character builder for Water Genasi, there's an option for customizing a +2 ability score bonus instead of the granted CON bonus. However, Water Genasi (As part of the EEPC Legacy version) doesn't actually get a +2 to CON, so the custom origin feature essentially lets me add a free +2 to whatever I want (I stuck with CON, because of course). However, if this is a bug of some kind, then it would be better to fix it. I'm not complaining either way, just pointing it out.
This is not a bug, Legacy Genasi get two ability score traits. The first is +2 Con granted by the base Genasi race and the second is a +1 based on subrace. In the case of Water Genasi, it's +1 Wisdom. The origin manager breaks these down into two different options to modify.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up. The general genasi features didn't show up in the character builder, just the subrace stuff, so I was a bit confused.
