I'd say Lupine is also really limited in that regard. Even something like retract claws, costs a skill slot, then there is their even worse racial War Cry.

All cyincal jokes aside, I think racials, that come with character creation at least, should be free. (meaning those bought with traits might still cost a spot, though I am relatively indifferent towards it.) I do not really feel that a Vampire for example should suddenly forget how to Banquet, Silvermist or use his vampire powers, when cornered in a real fight, just because they didn't swap out some essentials of their kit for the slight of chance that they might need it and give away their little secret (even though most are openly admitting to be vamps, shame on thee).
