[QUOTE="ccooke, post: 7702174, member: 6695890"] I can see the basics of a feat for "Bigger than usual" medium humanoids. Something along these lines: Strong Arm [I]Pre-requisite: STR 15+[/I] * You count as one size category larger when making Strength[Athletics] checks * When you use a one-handed melee weapon that does not have the [I]versatile[/I] property, it counts as a [I]light[/I] weapon * When you use a melee weapon with the [I]versatile[/I] property in one hand, you may use the higher damage value as if you used two hands. Basically - you're not Large, but you're noticeably larger than most Medium creatures and gain a few advantages. You can't wield something that's only designed to be used as a two-handed weapon with one hand, but you have a bit more flexibility with other weapons. You get a few more options for two-weapon fighting (basically, you can wield two 1d8 weapons), and you can deal a bit more damage going sword-and-board. The size category for Strength[Athletics] means you can be more effective grappling and shoving, whether you're doing it yourself or someone is doing it to you. [I][size=-2]Edited: Changed name of the feat to avoid using the same name as the racial trait[/size][/I] [/QUOTE]
