Changes to abilities have limited race choice.

Maybe this matters more to me than other people but with the changes to how the abilities work I feel like character creation is extremely limited.
If you want to make any kind of physical dps character (barb, fighter, rogue, ranger) you want strength and dex which pretty much limits you to dragonborn or half orc (too a lesser degree human but honestly 250 to all stats is just laughable once they are leveled). If you don't own dragonborn then half orc is all you have. Now there is nothing wrong with half orc, its a good choice but I feel like it shouldn't have been the only choice.
I think all of the races should get the dragonborn's ability to choose where your stat bonus's go allowing you to then choose a race based on their passives. A drow/menzoberranzan rogue is really appealing but not at the cost of pushing your most important stat into the dumpster while also being forced to take stats that do literally nothing for you.

I think race bonuses need an overhaul.
Mainly because the best combination of bonuses is owned by the fugly Dragonborn.
Contagion - Cleric
Testament - Wizard
Pestilence - Ranger
Dominion - Paladin
