We have the ability score bonuses and the other racial bonuses. The ide was that the ability score was no longer to be tied to race. OK. But not the other bonuses? It seems strange to me that if small races can be strong now, why not big races can be cunning? Why can't human choose to have Gnome Cunning? In fact why can't we compose our bonuses completely freely? That would actually make race only appearance as they seem to want.
What we will get now is that small races will be best for martials and the martial races best for casters. A fighter gets nada from being Human, witch is strange, but Gnome Cunning would be great for a figher to mitigate their mental saves etc. It just creates a new imbalance of racials.
