Bugbears in Volo's Guide already get 10-foot reach, the 10-foot fighting space is nice but not overpowering, and the ability to grapple huge creatures is situational at best (besides, you're still going to be contending with Strength scores in the 25-30 range). But double-damage weapons are a big deal. The trick is finding a plausible reason to limit the race to Medium weapons. Easy enough for something like a centaur: their arms are humanoid-sized. Harder for something built on true giant proportions.Also, remember that in 5E large creatures do not get -1 AC by default. If you give it to this race you're saying that there's something making them especially easy to hit. And I think -2 Dex would convey that point much more organically.I'd leave it out. Humans can fit into halfling-sized buildings, it's just an uncomfortable squeeze. As long as a large race is proportionate to a human as a human is to a halfling, it should be fine. Besides, it's much more flavorful to have to crouch than to have an ability that just lets them shrink. At that point, why even be large?</blockquote>
