Racial Templates

In Star Trek, most species are only barely different from humans until the plot demands it. Vulcans have super strength, but Kirk can almost beat one in a fist fight until it matters. To model this, I've given each racial template a list of added advantages or stat increases that make sense for the species. That way, players can add more racial abilities when they have the points.
