Shattered Kingdoms

I'm inclined to agree. It doesn't even have to be stat bonuses. For example, according to the help file from watersongs, they're good swimmers. Perhaps give them innate mastered swimming or something like that. It's a little boon that isn't overly game breaking.

Exactly. Pretty sure I lightly threw skill/spell out there. Glad you posted. Something as simple as this. Say you want to be a Springfoot shaman? Perhaps you have an innate ability to use one of the more advanced shaman spells due to your heritage.

Yeah, just give springfoot sprites spirit aura and give bloodwing sprites control undead, and give watersong sprites swim.

This sounds reasonable.
