Had an idea the other day that I thought could be neat. What about giving every race a Favored School of magic, and having that race cast all spells of that school at +1 caster level? Initial thoughts for the PHB races are:
Human-Any (also considered NEcromancy)
Elf- Enchantment
Dwarf- Abjuration
Halfing- Transmutation
Gnome- Illusion (no brainer)
Half-Elf- Enchantment
Half-Orc- Transmutation
Braids

What would warriors get if the Spellcasters get this? Fighter, Barbarian, Rogues and Monks become less powerful when compared to spellcasting classes.

I might give characters the choice of a +1 on damage rolls with the weapon most type common to their race [Axe, Sword, Bow rather than specific weapons] or gaining the benifit of +1 to caster level in a school of magic.

Though I don't like giving the Humans the choice of any...maybe giving them the choice of any Sub-School instead.
