Hmm... I just checked and you are somewhat correct p22. However, Relias, who is of the race "Men" doesn't get the +1 to Base Attack, while a custom Sovereign of the race "Men" does. I also tested a custom Sovereign of the race "Wraith" with both Altar and with Resoln, and in all cases he got the +1 Base Attack bonus, so *all* custom Sovereigns are getting the +1 Base Attack regardless of their own race or of the race they are ruling.
