D&D 5E Strong Small

[Iry]

Can you think of an existing monster or race that would be both Small and have a Strength bonus or Powerful Build? What racial abilities would you give them?

 

[Flamestrike]

Arctic or Jungle dwarves in 3.5 were small and had Strength bonuses

 

[iserith]

Redcaps come to mind.

Kappa. small wrestling turtles whose power came from water that was kept in their bowl-shaped head. Some myths I've read say they're small sized, others don't.

I really wanna make a gnome subrace with a strength bonus and powerful build. They live in treetops, rather than under the trees.

Also, just like, a race with strength and Dex, powerful build, increased jump distance, a climb speed, and training in athletics.

I actually wish dwarves were small with a strength bonus and powerful build.

 

[Charlaquin]

I actually wish dwarves were small with a strength bonus and powerful build.

That kinda makes more sense to me than Medium with 25 foot speed.

Am I misremembering, or did 3e have pech as a small PC race with strength bonuses?
