Going to be a prince 

Why does it have to be Origin Feats? I love the fact that you can choose whichever one you want. That's awesome! Especially because it can include Magic Initiate and Tough, which are some of my favorites.

But I'd love it if you could choose any, like the Variant Human from 2014. It gave me so many storytelling options, because I could do Fey Touched, or Telepath, or Abberant Dragonmark, or Ritual Caster, or Actor (useless feat but so much fun to roleplay.)

Yes I understand how powerful it could be to have basically any of those feats I just listed. And the Resourceful power is already helpful. But man I miss being able to say "My species? I'm technically a human but I have this neat superpower to make me feel better about myself when I am surrounded by Thri-Kreen and Aarakocra and other incredibly cool species with ridiculous powers."

Cool

HUMAN

I'd be concerned if you weren't.

Ok

Appears to be 8'11" with maybe about 10ish total people being recorded at 8'+ since that sort of record has been kept. Iirc that's still under the scope of being considered Large, but it's also so extremely rare compared to Dwarfism and conditions such as that that would have people considered Small in the game.

So if this question was leading into can I play a Large human, history does not support it.

It shouldn't though, I mean, that dosen't make any sense, if anything it should be class

 Background makes much more sense to me, as you have lived that background likely for years and thus would have become more proficient in the associated abilities.

Whereas with class, you are just starting your journey as an adventurer in that profession and have little to no training yet. Unless you are starting well above level 1, which by then you gain ability increases through leveling, which mimics what you are proposing.

Quote from Erikson >>

You still don't have Build Freedom 

Your telling me it's better for your Ability scores to be tied to your background (and thus imply Farmers can't be intelligent or nobles can't be Durable) than just going w/ the initial Rule of Tashas where you just CHOOSE what you want and your background gave you a Feature that was great for Roleplay as opposed to mechanical.

Plus you still had Build Freedom w/ racial Ability Score Increases 

You weren't Obligated to be a class that benefited from a racial ASI increase, you have stats that you should be rolling b4 choosing your race. 

And at the Very Least Racial Tied ASIs gave you a Sense of The General Culture and values of that Race instead of just "Everyone is basically a human culture because we at Wotc have lost the Capability to be original and figure out what cultural practices these races might have"

Or at the very least they couldve kept Racial ASIs but listed them as "Recommended" or "Suggested" like so many 3rd party sources already do because they know it's better

 The bonuses are tied to what those professions do. There is NOTHING that says farmers can't be smart, as there is no penalty to intelligence and you can pick intelligence as your highest stat even with the farmer background. You are trying to make an argument where there is none.

Also, the whole argument of rolling for stats before choosing your race to inform your class whatever bs, some people want to play a certain race, and not base it on the stats they roll.

Good

humans are good but kind of basic but still cool
