[QUOTE="MechaPilot, post: 6954717, member: 82779"] Being able to grapple huge creatures is fine. If I recall correctly, being large would mean that small-sized foes could move through your space, so that's a mitigating factor, as is the ability for a 10' x 10' space to be mobbed by an additional four creatures. With regard to your choice of warforged to reskin, I'd start with the one presented in the Unearthed Arcana article. You could also go with a fan-made option, but you have to be even more aware of balance issues with those than you would with WotC material (which still requires some balance awareness, because while they're good, they're not perfect). As for a large creature being a pain to accommodate, that's not a huge concern. It will certainly be a factor for DMs to consider when deciding to allow the race or not, but don't let it be your deciding factor, especially if you make your own adventures. Despite the name, D&D doesn't have to take place in dungeons. And, when it does, not all dungeons are made by small and medium-sized creatures. A giant-made dungeon or an ogre-made dungeon would suit a large character well. [/QUOTE]
