I realized the same thing only a few days ago despite having farm that node possibly a hundred times over the past year, a node where I needed just 2 points more in what I think was Mind, to be able to get the bonus. It's not game breaking by far, but it still feel kind of dumb, all the other required stats can be reached simply by leveling up and getting better gear but those stay out of reach. I guess each race has their special node to make them feel privileged.
