The struggle to stay afloat for stat point bonuses and memory slots means that racial skills/traits can be very advantageous with pidgeonhole builds. Well, nobody said it's not powerful. Just that too high advantages hampers diversion by making the alternatives too bad in comparison. Think for yourself! Or others will do it...

You can still choose to make a dwarven mage, the impact will be minimal, really. Speakin of racial skill, "Encourage" for human, given free and using no memory slot, is overpowed I like the skill, but it should be back to the warfare skilltree I have, however, no idea what could be a good racial skill for human ... Maybe something like "iron will - ignore death for X turn - dies at the end " ? Na, too OP I had one of the mages in the final fight drop a staff with +11 int. That gave my human mage 44 int at the end. My next game, my lizard mage was not as lucky with loot and ended with 34 int. Therefore, racial +2 stats are completely insignificant.
