I want to make it so any race with a maximum lifespan can enter (no elans, no warforged, no killoren), but I don't know how to balance the abilities.

Make them minor things. I mean, in the purpose of combat, a year may seem like a long time, but it doesn't matter much if the guy you're stealing said year from is going to die the next round... that or lives another ~500+ years +/-1d100.
Maybe have it be based off of Spellthief and sacrificing things like sneak attack for other benefits?
