I'm starving for more stuff to happen with races.

So, even though this is an old idea, we should all pitch in balanced ideas to help each race.

Right now there should be a few things.

Resistances/weaknesses.

Passive ability.

Skill bonus.

Skill penalty.

For an example:
And halfling would have:

A bonus to sneak for their small size, so the skill cap would be at +10 so they could always max it a bit higher for their level.

Start with a resistance to traps for their dexterity.

Skill up at -10 for heavy armors and great weapons.

A passive luck bonus.

Now that skills cover a lot of what your character can do, we could add racial modifiers bringing the max cap up or down for each level.

Stop being so racist...geez.
