Species as Groups

Species as Groups
In WH2 it says that species are noted "...after two attributes, but they can also be used negatively at the Referee's discretion..." If used RAW, this suggests two tags with which to generate positive/negative double rolls so long as the character isn't a member of the default race.

Ideally, the players and GM could find equal opportunities to use species for positives and negatives based on the fiction, however, I'm pretty confident it would be biased.

In keeping with the old school flavour, and following an example that I cannot remember, my campaign has instead used the species group to tag one attribute as positive and one as negative. Think DEX and CON for elves in AD&D.

How have you used and interpreted species as groups?
