Humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, and goblins will probably be pretty much the same. For Giantkin I'm planning on doing a Goliath style thing for them, powerful build and all. Harpies will get a fly speed of 40 but be unable to hover, specifically, and be at disadvantage when making ranged attacks while flying because of how -awkward- it is to keep your hands steady while your shoulders are being yanked up and down by wing muscles and stuff...Pixies, on the other hand, will be tiny creatures for the purposes of food/squeezing/etc, and small creatures for all other purposes. 30ft fly speed with hovering and without the disadvantage. Well. Unless they use a Longbow, Crossbow, or other "Heavy" weapon.The Dragonborn, mechanically, weren't exceptional compared to other races mechanically. But they were used fairly heavily in advertising as a draw to the game, required Arkhosia to be rammed into the Realms, etc. Just the sheer amount of focus that was given to make them 'work' was annoying to me, personally. YMMV of course!</blockquote>
