Racial weapons bonues?
I am not sure if this has brought up before, or if it is a bad idea but any chance of racial weapon bonuses or something? I know a couple of things currently exist with brawling in regard to a couple of the less human looking races.

There is precedent for this with a few specific weapons (Dwarven tunneler's axes, etc.) but those effects are coded into the weapons themselves, not an overarching system.
At one point there was a plan to introduce racial 'feats' into the game, that could grant something like this. For examples, Gor'Togs would have the option of 'purchasing' a feat to make them superior with two-handed blunt weapons, etc. I'm not certain what the present development status is of those plans, since I haven't heard them mentioned in quite a long while.
An update on what the present dev team thinks of such things would be an interesting read.

If it was special gear I think it would be cool. Maybe even more fluffy stuff or robes and such.
If it is an innate "racial bonus", well I think that is already there with boons and penalties to training stats.
I like DR because it is not cookie cutter when it comes to character concepts. It is about how and what you train.
I guess I like that not every Tog is slow witted, every gnome a wizened little mage or every elf prances through the forest with flowers in their hair.
Just my quick thoughts on this. I would be interested to see what other views there are also.
