I am usually a fan of racial bonuses when they are smaller additions. This games racial bonuses however do tempt players too much, in some cases its extremely punishing. Looking at the dwarf caster in particular, the difference in comparison to a lizard or elf is far too massive. On the flip side melee physical damage dealers get the benefit of one of the best single target ccs in the game for picking dwarf and absolutely nothing from lizards.
Not to mention elves are blatantly overpowered and has large merit as a selection for any build a player can think of. *I heard you wanted adrenaline and first aid without any points in scoundrel or marksman.*
Edit: I guess something else that makes a good racial bonus system is making sure that regardless of whichever race you pick for whatever build it provides some merit. Pen and paper RPGs usually make sure you get something regardless of racial selection. This game doesn't do that.
