   I like race as class, but they should be different than the human   
   classes.  I did this in my OSR.  I've got a cat person 'mew' race that   
   is kind of like a thief/sorcerer.  A dog person that's kind of like a   
   paladin, and a bird person that's kind of like a cleric-mage.  But   
   they're all different from what the plain combos would be. The mews   
   can't cast damaging spells, and work like a sorcerer in that they just   
   cast whatever spells they were born with/unlock per day instead of   
   having to memorize and choose, etc.

   Agree to those as being bad.
