Inspired by the racial paragon classes of 3.5, I wrote classes for each of the core races in 5e
Racial Classes (https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/H1WruAeR_S)
Not all of them are complete, but I consider the Dwarf, Dragonborn, and the Half-Orc to be, although every class could use some more flavor/exploration features
This is what I was trying to achieve with each
Dwarf- Sturdy fighter with a strong leaning toward dwarven weapons and strategies, and no fear of those larger than themselves
Elf- An arcane spellsword with more creative uses of their magic (missing some magic maneuvers and flavour features, but also close to done)
Halfling- very lucky agile and sneaky guerilla combatant who interrupts enemy formations
Human- a versatile class that can do just about anything well, but can also mix it up if they need to
Dragonborn- a powerful battlefield presence that focuses on their elemental breath weapon
Gnome- I have no clue. I'm completely lost here
Half-Elf- not written down, but a very socially talented semi-skill monkey spellcaster
Half-Orc- a simple and straightforward combat class focused on doing big damage in few attacks
Tiefling- a lot a lot of low-power magic, as well as many alternative ways to expend spell slots
