Just had a bit of a thought....
The idea would basically take some of the Talents, and make them be for only a specific race, and the costs for this race would be less than for other races (I was thinking -1 point for every 4 or 5 points that the talent costs normally).
Other races would be able to acquire them at the normal costs, but these would be talents most commonly found among a given race.
I was thinking that if done this way, instead of giving a Talent Section of the book (for the basic version, not the full version), each race could list from 5-10 talents available for that race (and we would not discuss the higher cost for other races (other than as a rule/guideline for the GM to implement if he likes).
This would allow for more uniqueness among the races, and also allow for members of a given race to become more powerful overall as time passes on. Perhaps a limit on how many Racial Talents could be acquired.
We could even take the current racial abilities and make them part of the lists as well, allowing for more customization overall, but also putting some breaks on as well (CP/XP values for the racial packages would alter as well).
Thoughts? Comments? (Note: will see about working up an example shortly).
