I think there's too many playable races in mind. My problem is that a lot of people might want to be a lot of different races so I'd hate to limit things, but then again it will take too long and become convoluted to try and include everything right off the bat. But then I think it would be hard to explain them suddenly showing up later on without any references to them beforehand once I come out with the "expansions" for different races. I wanted at least one race per element but that's already a ton unless I take away things like lightning and poison and maybe go with the four main ones (fire, earth, water, air). Maybe the minor elements are grouped in with those or just don't have races to go along with them for whatever reason. And then I think that there's plenty of races that could go with poison such as nagas and maybe vampire-like beings. 

This is getting really complicated.
