      Mechanics Supporting Story
      Dwarves favor axes, while elves like bows. Halflings are excellent climbers....

      The mechanics and the story/flavor should be deeply connected. To say, for example, that "Dwarves are excellent craftsman, especially when working with stone or metal" can only be true if they are actually good at it.
      If humans, elves, and even orcs are every bit as good at crafting (mechanically) as a Dwarf is, then it would be false to say that Dwarves are better at it. If, on the other hand, Dwarves are supposed to be better at it, then make them actually better at it.
      I mean,...

      I am on board with the idea of a neutral option. I think that having flavor represented in the rules - like the dwarven Stonecunning racial trait - is a cool feature. As for weapon-favoring and favored enemies, I'd be okay with having tohe option of bypassing these. What if my gnome was orphaned and raised in a monastery far from the ongoing mutual disdain between his kin and kobold. What it my dwarf was raised in a city and joined the city guard, favoring a broadsword? If he runs across his...

      In a sense, I don't really see either holy nor radiant as damage types. Heat, acid, cold, electricity, sure... but holiness and light don't cause damage per se, now do they? Would a magical laser cause radiant damage? Nope -it would burn. Heat damage (or fire, or burn, whatever).
      Checking the examples I would say -Flamestrike is clearly burning damage (which BTW should work especially well on dry old skeleton bones, but anyways) -the holiness of the flamestrike would be the same holiness...

      I think it depends on the complexity you want to achieve. Heat from focused light based damage can be protected against in different ways than heat from flames. This make the simulation better but the game more complex.
