Well i created a new character last nite and looked at all the abilities yet again. I remembered that the dragons passive was to gain 5 armor each level, so i wondered why not do the same thing for the peds? Fiends gaining 5 ice a lvl, sslik 5 armor, an whatever else for the rest ofem. This would definately make picking a race more meaningful imo and also put more change in between the peds. Of course if not 5 or 10( as thats 500 and 1k after 100 lvls) it could always be 1 or 2 which is still kinda cool.
just my 3 cents:P
