that's what iI mean. You would need to scale abilities. to have 18 STR on a Pixie would not be right. 9 on str would be more realistic, but they wouldn't be able to go higher. They are listed as tiny, and I actually think their weight capacity is 1/4 that of a medium creature. so if you go9 that way, 18 / 4 = 4.5 so the highest their str should be is 4 or 5 without magical bonuses. Also since they are tiny their hp is also 1/4 of a medium creature. Granted it says they have a 15 base AC being tiny, and with dex bonus and everything early on a Pixy could have very high AC which makes it great for certain things, but a Barbarian would be a little hard to play since they wouldn't have the str bonus to attacks, unless you choose to use dex weapons, but it also states that tiny weapons do less damage.
They might be as strong as a Human would be if they were the same size, but not with their current size difference without a magic bonus.

Don't forget the two sub-races that got printed in SCAG (Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide) the Duergar and Svirfneblin.
Edit: I meant three, somehow forgot about Ghostwise Halflings.
