Being second best at everything is not something to be ashamed of, it's actually a very impressive superpower.

Dwarves are more industrious than humans - they can physically work harder for longer and are culturally a lot more work-oriented. They live longer and can build more skill at crafting over that time. On a scale of 0-10, dwarves are a solid 9 for industriousness. But an elf barely rates a 2 on that scale, and the most industrious monsters rate a 3 or 4 - and then only if the industry is lewd in some way. A hard working human scoring a 7 on the scale is impressive by itself.

Elves are a 7-8 for magic and monsters are 8-10 on strength. But elves are a 2-3 on strength and most monsters (baphomets, lilim, sorceresses and witches blow past the curve) are only 2-3 on magic too.

A human who is a 7 at everything will be able to outperform every other race just by switching tactics. That is an amazing superpower.
