Humans
  may add five points to any single ability of the player's choice --not both sides, just one score from a pair (see Miscellanea below).

Dralasites
  can generate a maximum of one limb per 10 DEX points (rounded up),
  and may roll 1/2 INT (rounded up) or less to detect if someone is telling a lie.

Vrusk
  may roll 1/2 LOG (rounded up) or less to comprehend something he/she doesn't immediately understand.
  and start with a 15% chance to figure out any observed social dealing that is not known to the player (can "purchase" probability increase with experience points).

Yazirians 
  may roll 1/2 STA (original score, not current. Round up) to go into a berserker-like battle rage,
  gaining +10 to hit in melee combat.
  not affected by the penalties associated with dim and dark lighting, but must wear dark goggles during daylight. Without which, they suffer a -2 penalty to attack rolls and cannot see targets farther than 10". 
  can glide 1 meter for every meter he is above the ground when he starts. He must start at least 10 meters above the ground. The maximum distance a Yazirian can glide depends on the gravity of the planet, as shown below.

0.6	150 m
0.7	100 m
0.8	50 m

Miscellanea for Total Nerds

attribute probabilities for Standard Type Characters (per Alpha Dawn):
01-10 = 30, 11-20 = 35, 21-35 = 40, 36-55 = 45, 55-70 = 50, 71-80 = 55, 81-90 = 60, 91-95 = 65, 96-00 = 70

For the +5 Human Attribute Bonus, the highest probability is for the Bonus to apply to one of the lowest attribute pairs (50/50 chance) with greatest probability if 30, with a diminishing probability up to 45. if by chance, an attribute below 50 isn't chosen (or there are no attributes below 50), then the Bonus is added to one of the highest attribute pairs (50/50 chance for either one of the pair).

Dralasites have a much higher probability of being non-gendered, since reproduction only takes place during certain phases of life. The chance of a Dralasite being gendered is modeled after reproduction statistics of high-population, post-industrial, low-birth-rate countries (like Japan). Other races have a 50/50 chance between being male or female.

Dralasite names are unisex, since they experience both genders in one lifetime.
