50 points was picked because that was what
DF2 pushed as a 'level' and I want to have some fun with that. I also want all races, including human (But excluding half races like half-Elf and half-Human) to be the same point cost, to encourage picking races, especially for allies.

My personal requirements for new DF races is "arguably comparable or better than baseline human in more than one class, but not unambiguously better, and pulls in some unusual traits to mix it up a bit[2]." [1]
This hits the first and last, but it just too much bard bait for the second, so I wouldn't use it as is.
[1] Core DF races do not all meet this, it is my threshold for NEW ones.
[2] If the unusual is really fun, I might be flexible on the first two.

That's really not what I'm aiming for, more Wizard then Bard so maybe moving some points around, in particular a short free spend list including allies and magical skills.
