I'm a bit confused (nothing new) on balancing created races. What I don't get is how the free +2 racial ability plays with the overall Racial Edge points.

Is the racial edge points a cap on overall positive abilities, regardless of offset or a net positive (so that, for example, a race with +5 in bonuses offset by -3 negatives would be balanced with an Edge cap of 2)?

The Edge points maximum would be the number of additional positive points a race could have besides the inherent +2 every race gets.

So the total positive value would be around +4 to +6 (counting the "free" +2) with negatives to reduce the cost to the +2 value.

Hope that clarifies.
