OK. So we have drawbacks for races. To make up for this most races have extra features and usually bonus proficiencies.
I think I have been too generous in most cases, especially if you can buy off the drawback. The drawbacks and profs should 'balance' out really. Otherwise you could have players using the bonus profs to buy off the racial drawback and then still be IN FRONT compared to PHB races. Power gamers will pick up on this immediately.
One way I have to reduce this is to move some of the extra features to racial feats now that we have those. THEN balance out the proficiencies.
I am working through Race Doc right now making notes on each one :)
