Since there's so many different topics with racial abilities, thought maybe I would add some myself. Oh and feel free to add to your own to whatever races you want.
Some ideas I had
Loboshigaru: bloodlust
Tapping into your primal insincts you can release your inner strength... at the price of concentration.
- Would give a +1 strength for a short time at the cost of dexterity for a short time.
Aslaran: finesse
Honing your catlike reflexes even more, you can become incredibly nimble.
- Would give a -1 strength, and +1 dex. But would also prevent falling damage either from the air or trees. Again only lasts a short time.
Dwarf: tolerance
Ale? Come on, the stuff is like water to you
- Basically makes you immune to the effects of alcohol for a short time. Just think when you challenge somebody to a drinking contest!
That's all I can think of right now.

Racial abilities for the races without them = very yes.
No idea about orclach, but it would make them sooo much more individual! Maybe Igasho can knock someone to the ground with a shoulderbarge (unless that's done in knighthood/athletics) or something.

Igasho could throw other people at even other people to hurt them, or breathe ice.
And furrikin could... dance!
(no, I haven't played too much FF6 - because it's never too much! haha!)

...it is when you're playing the horrible HORRIBLE laggy PS1 port.
But yes, your point stands. Go Cuber's ideas. (Oh, and just so you know Cuber, I'm going to try and fit at least one Naruto thing in Dreamweaving. Possibly Sasuke's brother's thing. )

What's dexterity got to do with concentration? Dexterity is being quick and nimble, and getting out of things easily.

Shiri, Sasuke's brother has a name. That's Itachi dammit! (yes, I know you know that)
Now, back to the point.
Krokani could have a 'paralysing sight' ability. You know, you see something HUGE, and moreover one eyed, it gazes at you and you stand still in fear (maybe it's a semi-magical skill too). That'd make that race slightly more popular, and it's ALMOST original (they had something like that with cyclopi in HoMM series).
Loboshigarus could have an ability to localise people by smelling them (might work only in local area, but it'd be pretty weak that way). Simple and effective.
Mugwumps could turn into humans/elven when kissed. *cough*

Loboshigaru 'smell' ability would be good. Just tell the Divine to borrow the code from Imperian's 'track'.
EDIT: Although they might want to get rid of the part the makes it more effective based on your explorer rank.

Lisaera already said they can't take anything from Imperian's code unless Imperian says that can have it.
Hazar2005-01-05 19:18:19
Well...ask nicely?
Or ask for hints?

Or I suppose they could make something very similar, with a tiny tweak. Anything Imperian can do, Roark and Estarra can do better.

I probably didn't word it as well as I could of, basically its trading agility for strength. Think of it as recklessly fighting without regards to dodging or precision.

Ah, righto.
