Moreover, I do feel almost any attempt to balance each race in some fashion to allow free mixing is going to be abused. I remember Player's Options, I've played point-buy systems. Solved metas always rise to the top. The only time you get people who opt for less than potent combos are people who are too new or disinterested to find the meta or those who deliberately opt for the suboptimal choice for the RP. Further, I don't really trust WotC to get the balance right. It would be headache enough to get the nine races in the PHB balanced, then they'd have to redo every race they've already done and will ever do. At some point, they will make a combo that is broken. It would be inevitable.</blockquote>
