[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 7747631, member: 7006"] No they don't. All they need to do is make it implicit that players can DESCRIBE their character however they want. Which in my opinion they already do. If you want to say your half-giant PC is 9 feet tall? Great! Go nuts! WotC's still going to tell you to use the [I]mechanical function[/I] of the Goliath for this race... but you can describe how big he is however you want. That's all WotC needs to do, and all they probably will do. If that's not enough for players, then they have to admit what they want are [I]mechanical benefits[/I] for being Large, and the [I]story[/I] of being a large race doesn't really matter that much. And personally I don't think WotC is under any obligation to cater to those players if they decide they don't want to right now. Maybe they will in the future? Maybe they'll decide at some point later they are okay to making a race Large the same way they decided it was okay to give a race limited flight. But if I were any players out there, I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for it to happen. [/QUOTE]
