Default [4e] EPG / PHB3 style Racial Bonuses

In the Eberron Players Guide and Players Handbook 3, there are quite a few races that have bonuses in the style: +2 to Stat A or B, +2 to Stat C. I personally think all races should have this style of ability, and strive to do so below.

To read: Race, +2 to A or B; +2 C.

Human: Humans choose from one of the following three ability score pairs:
1) +2 Dex, +2 Int
2) +2 Str, +2 Con
3) +2 Wis, +2 Cha
----
Thoughts, comments, better ideas, less arbitrary stat choices?

Why the bullywug? Why?
Other than that, pretty cool. I actually always wanted a human wizard who was also rather agile, and this gives me quite a bonus. Sweet!

Eladrin should get Cha, not Elves.

Cha/Int, Dex -- Eladren
Wis/Str, Dex -- Elves

Changed. As I said, a lot of it was arbitrary.

That they are useless as a race, as is. More then most monster races. They'd need a serious remake before I think of giving them anything.

But that would be fixing the problem instead of complaining. Obviously I cannot do that.

(More Seriously: Too lazy)

Then I might remake them... possibly... if I can muster enough energy. They're a good idea at the very least. :)
