For balance reasons this is fine, but anything higher than a LA +1 race doesn't mesh well with my particular campaign, for reasons I'd rather not go into in depth.Basically, I was thinking of basing my "new" 1/2 Ogre on the Half-giant from UA (and the exapnded SRD).Now, I'll obviously make a few changes to this, to remove the Athas/Psionic flavour.So how does this sound:Abilties: remove -2 DEX, add in -2 INT and -2 CHA (+2 STR, +2 CON, -2 INT, -2 CHA)Fire acclimated gets dumped. Theyn instead gain a +2 save bonus against poison, as a dwarf.Powerful build and size - Medium remain.Naturally psionic gets dumped, in favor of a +2 racial bonus to Climb & Intimidate checks.Psi-like ability gets dumped for the Toughness feat.Automatic Languages: Common and Giant. Bonus Languages: Draconic, Orc, Gnoll, Goblin, and Abyssal.Favored class: Barbarian</blockquote>
