Each race in GW2 should have skills which are only available to members of that race. Things like giving the Charr biting and clawing attacks or the Asura energy-saving enchantments, are generally what I have in mind. I'm not saying that these skills should necessarily be oriented towards a single theme for each race, but that would be the assumption.

Why this is a good idea
  • Allows for some additional race-specialization without too drastically affecting the balance of the game


Why it may not work out
  • If handled badly, could result in serious weakening and/or overpowering of certain race-profession combinations
  • If these skills of each race are in a distinct 'area' (like charr getting attacks and asura energysaving skills) they will be very profession-based, a charr monk or asuran warrior would be quite useless. One could however consider having one skill tied to each profession, kind of like the Factions luxon/kurzick skills. Like these they could have distinct looks for each race, while doing effectively the same, keeping the balance intact.
