Jack, you might be right.
But it needs to be calculated.
And CONTROLLED.

Why write which race you belong to?
1. Role – it affects how difficult it is to play out situations.
2. Racial affiliation – think about it yourself, WHAT can a person expect in an elven city? Well, maybe just official assignments.
But an elf... both requests from "old friends" and work for counterintelligence:)

Givi, NO.
NOTHING will change separately. Just as the principles of application will not. Give a completely NEW system, and it will be considered.

Jack, after looking at your argument, I can say – develop a skill system FOR all races and professions (AT LEAST Warrior-Mage-Thief!!! for each race) and that will be interesting!
In essence, it's not the principle of the proposal that bothers me.
It should have been written in ALL CAPS right away: "AND it doesn't cause any complexity, it's linear (OR, FOR OTHER RACES, IT BRANCHES OUT A LITTLE) 1****->2****->3*****->4*****5->******6->******"
So, LET'S GO!
I will give an award in an RPG (any, of your choice:) for a beautiful and not too complex system. It will just be more difficult for Magnus)
