Give humans +0 aptitudes across the board again

The aesthetic is really nice, emphasizes their role as jacks of all trades, and the difference between a +-1 and a 0 is negligible to the balance of the species.

This would be a buff to humans, and definitely not one they need, but I really do like it aesthetically.

Buff? Invo is usually more important than spellcasting, and there's also stealth. If exp apt is included then it's even more of a clear nerf.

I would play more spellcasters as Human if their apt was 0.

I doubt they're going to lower experience to 0, as it's one of their defining traits.
