I prerer for every race to have access to every class unless theires physical reasons. Like only angels can be a valkry because it revolves around having wings and angels are the only ones with wings.

I know a lot of games have lore reasons or its just “this race is small and weak so they don’t do that” but I think making whole race limited like that may often prevent the player from doing what they want to do. Like be the smile tiny race but wield a hammer several times their size meant for other races. Then theres the only X race can commune with the spirits thus only they can be a druid. Which again is neat in writing but limiting to player choice.

 Now I’m sure theres some people who think these sort of lore limitations are good for the world and game universe and they’re probably right. But as a player I find that the difference between race and whats available (or a good choice based on the races stats) often goes against what I as a player want to do. Does it make sense fir the big sneaky stealthy orc? On paper no, but I wanna be one and not suffer for it dammit!
