It's only use is fertilizer to remind the designers to make a better system. I don't mind some elemental resistances, ala the Genasi, Tieflings, and Deva but the whole DR/ +x to hit stuff was always needlessly complicated and inelegant. It also engendered golf bags for weapon users.  The fluff/mechanics one is also too limited. As above, minor elemental resistances and the like are fine, but stay away from generic bonuses to hit with weapons/whatever by race. For example, if you give Dwarves bonuses with all hammers, axes and picks, and Elves bonuses with all bows, it tends to shoehorn character building, especially if Gnomes get a bonus for Bolas and Blowguns. Crappy weapons are still crappy weapons and if you want a certain weapon for flavor then shoehorning the player in to a certain racial choice is a little heavy-handed.</blockquote>
