There are subtle examples such as Corbies having four extremely useful skills that don't require slots, while a wyventouched have to slot absorb poison or poison bite. The former definitely is passive worthy. It'd be nice to see all of these skills reassessed regardless. Overall, I figure if balance is restricting what people note as 'realism', it wouldn't be far-fetched to balance 'overloaded' races and allow all of them to naturally have their racials.
