Sadly, that does force you into a special race too, if you depend on these points or aspects. If not, then we're back to what I said:
-> It's no problem, as long as it isn't too much of an advantage.
Fire specialized mage lizard actually is very powerful as the breath attack becomes a free AoE attack skill
...building characters to maximize racial traits/skills...Such as FIN DPS build for elves...is actually much more powerful than not.
The struggle to stay afloat for stat point bonuses and memory slots means that racial skills/traits can be very advantageous with pidgeonhole builds.
