5 cents on traits
Random totals are good
Negatives are very good
Stereotypes are good
Breaking stereotypes are better
No race benefits more from traits than humans
Player picks one posative trait from overall list in any race. Can take a second with a negative. Can take a third with all random neutral traits. Player rolls 1d6-1 for total neautral traits. Neutral traits are selected from a list that is signature to race.
General Posative
Twin Learn from thy sibling. Start each level with 100xp
General or human neutral
Cool- -1 to damage +3 on all save vs death or any save after reduced to half hp
Humble- Has to tithe 20% of money/ extra d6 skill die when persuading good NPCs
General Negative
Boring- loses a skill die lvl after more than two checks on the same NPC or faction.
Human negative
Idiot- subtract 2 to any int check
Incompetent- -2 skills known
Idiot and Incompetent form synergy granting the Fool trait that offers a few intersting posatives
Elf and Human Posative
Wiry- +3 vs pins, submissions, and for any feat the requires contortion.
Dreamer- Able to spend 100xp to add a d4 skill die to any challenge Int,Wis, or Cha challenge.
Whimsical- can trade a class feature for another
Human and Halforc neutral
Lanky - -1 to str and con. Can use non reach weapons at reach
Tall- -2 to dex, can use any weapon with reach
Dwarf negative
Devout- cant lie or lose xp
Cant swim
Dwarf neutral
Stonelike- +1 DR/cant swim
Backwards skill die to history and lore subtract one with any form of tech stuff
Dwarf Posative
Work Song- Extra d4 skill die while singing
Halfling Negative

Weak- Str is capped at 17
Teiflings Posative

Lol. Actually Humans in warcraft are much more defined than core humans, and therefore will have traits.

An interesting read but I'm surprised that you didn't just "convert" from the WoWRPG.

I definately took them into account, but races in the current playtest have a different feel and mechanical presentation than those presented in the Warcraft d20 books.
Example? The +1 to all saves is pulled straight from the 3.5 Gnome racials.

I think they just stole it straight from Halflings, though. I mean, it doesn't seem to really fit with Gnomes at all.
The metagame is not the game.

I can see that. That racial is probably getting removed as soon as I can think of something to put in it's place :P

Warcraft definitely combined the traditional halfling and gnome traits in with their gnomes, with some of their own specific adjustments as well.
