Trolls and sprites as player races.
Note that these race options are intended to modern d20 adventures that rely most on firearms combat than close quarters combat, where the greater reach of the troll race is not more dangerous than a gnome firing a full magazine from a safe distance, and trolls are indeed easier to hit.
Likewise, sprites can easily find cover and are harder to hit, but will have trouble handling firearms made for Medium humanoids, so they have more movement and are specially gifted with magic.
Please let me know what do you think about it: Are they balanced? What's needed to improve?
