My bet's on an aarakocra over your tabaxi with the same.

Marriage seems to be niche, Guiding Hand, Snare, Puppet, & Wild Cunning useful.

The Regeneration feature only heals 1 hp per short or long rest, making it useful mainly in the event of going unconscious with 0 hp (so no action required). If fire or acid damage causes it to go to 0 hp, then it does not heal from that damage and begins death saves as usual. I could reword...

So here's slightly different approach. Again, I'd appreciate feedback.

That's definitely worth looking at, good idea. It feels more like a class feature though done that way. And a great sword or lance seems to push it over the edge.

Are goliaths considered half-giants? were they in other editions? There doesn't seem to be mention of anything giant in their lore in Volo's, but they do speak giant. I ask because I was trying to think of another creature to try a large PC build with, considering half giants with goliath as...

Yes, the target and hide issues were something that I brought up, but others seem to think those less significant. With a centaur, have you considered giving it a back-kick maybe as a reaction or considered if you would let other PCs mount it?

Yes, sorry. You are totally correct. I was forgetting how your bonus worked.

Some people are thinking 1d4 is too much already. Seeing as most half-ogre builds would focus on Strength, a half-ogre with 20 Strength would get a constant +7 instead of a range of 1 to 4 bonus (2.5 average), making it actually 3 to 6 (4.5 average) points better.

Interesting idea, but if I play it out: The average may be the same but the range seems to break it. 1.5 times 1 is 1, times 2 is 3, times 4 is 6, times 5 is 7. And, in the rare event of negative Strength modifiers, x1.5 takes away damage. I think sticking with the already in use Enlarge spell...

I think the iniative idea is more workable than the weapon-breaking. Since Dexterity is the most important factor in iniative, perhaps Dexterity should have a -1? That works in my suggested negative to AC as well without it having to be arbitrary. And ogre and giant kin, for the most part, have...

Cyber-Dave, I appreciate your input and thst of others. I've already made a few changes based on your suggestions and am grateful to keep the conversation going (giving you XP). I'm just pushing back the on a few things I disagree with or that others have pointed out do I can try to get the...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but a lot of what I feel I am hearing is that large PCs have never been done well in the past. Okay, let's not look to the past for answers then. A large size PC has more difficulties to play than one might first imagine: - Any space 5' causes large to spend 1 extra...

I would call a half-ogre a monstrous race choice. In fact, I did: "abilities due to their monstrous nature." Intelligence ability scores are mechanics not fluff; they may be less significant than other scores but mechanics nonetheless. I don't see the "internal logic" of a large...

While I understand that 2 different stats can increase by 2, the subrace ABS increase/decrease each cancel each other out, giving the overall race a +2 bump, less than most races. And shouldn't a large race be tougher and stringer than the norm? It still cannot go over a 20 in a single score...

Okay here's a quick attempt at a large PC. I would appreciate any feedback.
