I always take skill points. I usually at least consider the racial options, but I've yet to actually take one. When I DM I don't even allow the extra hit point option. (Then again, I'm very nice on hit points in the first place.)
We just pretend the racial options don't exist.
I feel like there must be some reason for this, what is it?
I would say I usually do not take the extra HP but I have on occasion to round of my hit points. Level up and now have 49HP? Have to round that off to 50!
When I play a Human, I take Fast Learner like 90% of the time so I get both.
