Races should have a -very- minimal impact on battle. Lupines getting a few stats at low HP is fine. Them having incontestable Blind immunity is not.

Strong racials should be brought down to the level of the weaker ones, not vice versa.

I think things actually need to be brought to a middle ground. Stronger abilities should be made slightly weaker, and weaker races should get a few stronger abilities.

Really, in the end, what races can and can't do are strictly dependant on the lore of the world itself. Saying,"Oh, well they should only be able to do this in combat, or have only growths", is kinda unfair to the lore in a sense. I'd really hate it if my character was corbie and had functioning wings and it didn't do -anything- for me in combat at all. I enjoy racial abilities, they add a bit more flavor to combat and a little more fantasy to the world.

As for the main point of this topic itself. It really doesn't make sense for someone to train and suddenly gain new racial abilities. It's like saying if I jump enough, I'll sprout wings and be able to fly someday. We're not pokemon, we don't evolve into entirely different beings from smacking a few monsters. Perhaps something magic, item, or LE wise could change us, but nothing as simple as racial levels themselves.
