A tiefling or dragonborn has no proficiencies to speak of, while a dwarf or elf had multiple weapons, skills or tools. In theory, a dragonborn raised by dwarves would speak dwarven, have proficiencies in hammers and artisans tools, etc. But it's not like the dragonborn would lose access to their breath weapon or energy resistance by doing so. So the idea that a dwarf has biological traits (darkvision, poison resist) and cultural ones (proficiencies) and can be swapped only works if the dragonborn is built under the same assumptions (ie: they can't have better biological traits that are balanced by a lack of proficiencies). You end up back where we left off: cultural elements (proficiencies) separated and the races need to balance on a biological or inmate level.</p></blockquote><p></p>
