It is not only possible thanks druid's reincarnation spell, but also Savage Species had got a special magic ritual using as example an ogre becoming an elf.My suggestion is allowing those "nurture" or traditional upbringing to be replaced with other options. Maybe with some special traits as the dragonmarks from Eberron, or "exclusive feats" only for members of a noble house, religious brotherhood, criminal guild or other faction.* Who would want to play a halfling warrior? An otaku who loves the trope of kid hero, for example the main character of the videogame Dragon Quest V. Somebody love the trope of litle people defeating kaijus, giants, megafaun and other bigger enemies, but the little PC races weren't designed to be fighters but rogues or maybe spellcasters.* It is ironic because in the shooter videogames all playable characters must have got the same height because shorter characters are harder to be shooted and this breaks the power balance (but if all characters are designed to have their own merits and flaws). * Besides dwarves and elves, what PC races have got racial traits based in "traditional upbringing"?</blockquote>
