Goliaths are still a bit on the physical side, while dragonborn are slightly more magical but not caster-ish. If we're going to slip Aasimar back in, it probably should slip in beside human.  A kind of match to human that we don't really have anymore, after all the human+ options no longer exist.Or make them a winged race to put alongside a furry race, but that's just me.  If we're going to go with what's dominant in popular fantasy, then we should be swapping out gnomes and halflings for goblins and fairies. They fit the kinda-castery, kinda-rogue-lite aspects of the g & h too. Sadly, however, its never going to happen.  People threw a massive fit when they tried removing gnomes in 4e and they'll never stand for the bad publicity of trying it again after the OGL fiasco. It'd be worse with halflings too.</blockquote>
