BRP Species are generally different than, say, AD&D races.
Elves are powerful in AD&D not because they have infravision or have slight stat bonuses but because they can be multi-class, which is a huge advantage. BRP Elves don't have this because in BRP anyone can be anything. So, an elf can be a fighter-mage as can a troll, an orc, a Melnibonean or a human.
