Give Humans exploration healing (elliptic)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Humans have long been thought of as rather bland. The intent is for
them to be a vanilla 'baseline species', but that excites very few
players in practice.

Let's move them even closer to baseline by moving their XP apt down
to the default, and give them Meteorans' exploration healing in
exchange. Humans are natural explorers, after all!

This might encourage some fun new playstyles. Numbers, as ever,
subject to change. (elliptic thought we should double explore healing,
but I want to try baseline healing first.)
