So, the Dragon Soul half-elf seems really cool. You give up either your human or elf half (and change your resistances/immunities to match dragons) and get treated as a dragon. It's compatible with Blended View which gives them low-light and darkvision.
I think the only thing it really would need is more draconic like feats (which can be nabbed with racial heritage: kobold).
Does this satisfy the mechanical niche of a medium sized dragon PC race?
Uh, Wyvaran from the same book?
They always struck me as monster races, though I guess you're not wrong. They fall into the higher RP categories which (laughable I know) are said in the ARG to be meant to be monsters and/or NPCs. Genuine immunities and senses are typically frowned upon when looking at/balancing PC races.
That comes from the Dragon type.
Right, which the Dragon Soul specifically doesn't get. They are treated like it for things that target them, but don't gain the type and thus no senses or immunities.

Dont they have a high RP because of flight?

Flight is only 4, dragon type is 10.
Immunities are more important than flight.

But Duergar get most immunities, elves already have sleep immunity.
So it is only targeting immunity (they aren't people for spells).

Actually they are in the same RP category as Dwarves, Aasimar, Dhampir, Drow, Fetchlings, Suli, Tengu, Tieflings and Vanara.
