I'm reading through my Dungeon Masters Guide of AD&D 1st edition and looking at the character charts for thieves and assassins and there are no humans listed in them. Only elfs, half-elfs, half-orcs, gnomes, dwarfs. But no humans. What the H?!

It's racial adjustments from the statistical norm (humans).

What page are you talking about, pg. 17 mine has humans listed. IDK what you're looking at.:confused:

If it's racial adjustments, humans have none as Fiasco pointed out above.
