[QUOTE="Grompi, post: 1247508, member: 15403"] The mean damage for that Huge greataxe is a lot more, around +4 points (mean for Large greataxe [1d12] is 6-7, while the Huge one [3d6] is 10-11). In simple terms, that's two dead commoners! Too bad Cleave doesn't let you carry over damage. I hadn't considered this angle. Well, looks like I can be astute sometimes ;), other times I'm interpreting meaty "future-history" sidebars as present-day campaign material and spouting off slanderous drek about it. Happens to the worst of us (that is, me), I guess. :p I didn't agree with Monte either (assuming that's who you're talkin about). The blow was cushioned when I saw how magical Arcana Unearthed was supposed to be, and the fact that the giant culture was so steeped in ritual. The Large size comes from that, so it "feels" better to me (not cludgy). *shrug* Different strokes for different folks. Seriously though, don't you think Natural Cunning for the minotaur is pretty powerful? Further, couldn't it have made a good "racial transformation"? Do you think that the natural armor ability could have been made in a +2 spurt followed by +1 stacks? Wise words, but don't you think the game world should provide a way to do this with minimum fuss? I mean, of course I can take my [i]Dawnforge[/i] minotaurs and switch Large for Natural Cunning. Maybe its my conceit again... what I want is what everyone else wants. :o In the end, let's focus on what I said at the begining, though. The minotaur's not bad, and I like the way you've handled the powers of the race developing in a "powerful" high fantasy. Of course, I need to see how your elves and humans compare. Uh-oh, methinks I'm learning to be civil. [/QUOTE]
