Where did those numbers come from?
I assigned values to each racial feature based on a system I discussed in my first video in this series - you should check it out here: https://youtu.be/QOxcO8hRAxo
These are subjective and you of course with disagree with some of my point values
But here's the quick version
1-9 points for a ribbon feature. For example a free skill proficiency is worth 4 or 5 if you get a selection.
10-20 points for a run of the mill feature. For example, darkvision is worth 10, while resistance to Necrotic is worth 20
21-40 points for a substantial benefit. For example, a base speed of 40 is worth 40 points, Magic resistance is worth 35
41-60 points for an exceptional benefit. Fey step and lucky are each worth 50 points. A bugbear's surprise attack or a changelings change shape feature are worth 60
61-80 points for a top tier racial feature. Gift of the Raven Queen is worth 70 for example, A goblin's nimble escape is worth 65
81-100 points requires the most powerful features, such as an aarakocra's flight that is worth 100 points.
125 points for the best feature a race can get, a free feat
