I'd rather have two synergistic powerful abilities (like flight and invisibility) over 5-6 less useful ones (like cantrips or speak with animals). The only way that works is if you force all species into a 4e-style structure: one signature major ability, one minor defensive ability, two free skills, and a sensory or movement ability. Then you rebuild every species to use that structure and never deviate. Then eventually allow PC to swap one species trait for one of another species. But the current system isn't balanced to allow that and you would have to start from the ground up to redo it.</blockquote>
