As per title, consider removing the need to spend an award for a l1 rebuild of special races.
Why is this rule in place begin with? What should it prevent or achieve?
If you have spent an award to -make- the special character, and you rebuild, you're not creating an entirely different character. In Arelith's ever-shifting meta, older characters especially will need adjustments to keep up with the times, or simply because the character has ICly changed and should be able to retrain from something different.
What's happening in practice is a lot of frustration, because no one wants to spend the next weeks/months mindlessly grinding new awards just for a chance to wriggle out of a now-obsolete build.
I'd much rather be able to restart as a level 1 weakling and roleplay said character having to "relearn" 30 levels worth of training- instead of having to shelve to play something entirely different, with the sole purpose of rolling.
