Their racial feats give them +2 to hit with longswords, and the other gives I think an AC bonus in the round they do their dimension step.  It's very flavourless, and not very creative (to me).  And really, does it make them *that* different than, say, a dwarf?  Some races, I think, get more....like Dragonborn.I was very disappointed.  I kept looking through the book trying to find where all the racial abilities and things that make race matter all the way to 20 were hiding, and just couldn't find them.  Maybe my friend's book has a misprint?  But given others are mentioning similar findings, it doesn't sound like it.  I'm not sure if it was something that was cut following playtesting, for space considerations (to be re-introduced with racial splatbooks), or if they just committed the sin over over-promising and under-delivering.  I don't know.Maybe it will all come out in splat  books.  Maybe the game is really just incomplete, and in another 2 or 3 years, once it's been developed through additional material, it'll seem more interesting to get into.  I just feel that it's not nearly there yet.Banshee</blockquote>
