WotC can purposefully single out two species features from every species that are not in any way going to be overpowered regardless of how they get paired.If we use the 5E14 rules, we could say:Dwarf: Darkvision, StonecunningElf: Fey Ancestry, TranceHalfling: Lucky, BraveGnome: Darkvision, Gnome CunningDragonborn: Breath Weapon, Damage ResistanceTiefling: Darkvision, Hellish ResistanceThere is not a single combination of four traits there that I would call overpowered by any stretch.  Yes, WotC would have to do a little adjustment to the species traits here and there to make sure there were two okay traits available for the Multi-Speciesing.  But that's a pretty simple thing too-- especially if sub-species ends up removed and those traits get incorporated into the base species features (don't know if that's happening or not.)Yes, in this quick and easy chart I made above there will be someone complaining that those with Darkvision only end up with 3 traits rather than 4... but I'm fairly confident making smart choices in which two species features are the ones that go into creating Mixed Species options can take those potentialities into account, and is not the big task you seem to think it is.  (But even if it is bigger than I'm making it out to be... I also think it's still worth doing.)</blockquote>
