Nice, thanks :)

If the combination is clearly indicated as difficult, then let the players use 
it :)
"since your birth, you have been a rebel, disregarding many rules and customs. 
Therefore it is not surprising that you, a Fireborn, choose to work as an Ice 
Mage in the Arctic region."

>   Quetzal: Fighter
>   Serpentman: Fighter
>   Troll: Fighter
>   Wraith: wizard

I'd rather try to balance those out too - but well, that's a really hard part
