Also, racial skill bonuses also add to the skill when it's used from default or when it's part of the Dabbler perk. The average member of the race may be better at the skill than a regular human, but chances are both will be using the skill at default.

This is especially notable for skills such as Climbing, Driving, Lifting, Swimming, Riding, etc. where most people would have it at default and get TDM bonuses for everyday routine uses. All else being equal, the racial skill bonus race will be better than a human in that skill even without dedicated training.

Just food for thought.
