How about these ideas:
Large Weapons: Large Weapons use the same damage dice as their medium-sized counterparts but have +2 damage. (This is to prevent too powerful scaling when dealing with 2[W], 3[W], etc. damages)
Large-sized characters:
Now, for the race:
Amazon
At-Will
Move Action | Personal
Effect: The amazon shrinks to the height of a tall human, becoming Medium Sized and losing all benefits and penalties associated with being Large, including feats that require large size. The amazon requires a second Move Action to revert to their original size, pushing all adjacent objects 1 square. If they cannot be pushed, the amazon is considered squeezing.
Feats:
Giant Reach
Prereqs: Large Size or Larger
Your natural reach increases by 1 square. In addition, Close Burst 1 powers use up to 4 squares that you occupy as the origin square.
Amazonian Fortitude
Prereqs: Amazon
Increase you Hit Points by your Strength Modifier, +1 Fortitude Defense, and +2 to Endurance checks.
Amazonian Stride
Prereqs: Amazon
Increase your Speed by 2, but you take a -2 penalty to Initiative. In addition, you can move up to your speed while using Alter Size.
I incorporated Giant Stature just into the large size (and weakened large weapons to fix the scaling issues involved), fleshed out an example race some more, and then split the feats into general large-sized feats and race-specific ones.
Large Weapons: Large Weapons use the same damage dice as their medium-sized counterparts but have +2 damage. (This is to prevent too powerful scaling when dealing with 2[W], 3[W], etc. damages)
Large-sized characters:
- 2x2 squares, 1 square reach base
- Can use large-sized weapon; Cannot use medium-sized weapons, except for versatile (must use in one hand) or two-handed weapons.
- +2 Strength Checks
- +2 Athletics Checks
- -2 Dexterity Checks
- -2 Thievery and Stealth Checks
- -1 Reflex Defense
- For Close Burst attacks, choose one square you occupy for its origin sqaure. Close and Area attacks by others affect you if it affects any square you occupy.
Now, for the race:
Amazon
- Ability Scores: +2 Strength, +2 Constitution or +2 Wisdom
- Size: Large
- Speed: 6 squares
- Vision: Normal
- Languages: Common, Giant
- Skill Bonuses: +2 Nature, +2 Intimidate
- Will of the Goddess: +1 Will Defense
- Female: All amazons are female. Any male children are of the father's race.
- Carry Ally: Whenever the amazon and an ally both need to make an Athletics or Acrobatics check to climb, jump, swim, Balance, or Reduce Falling Damage, the amazon can roll the check twice and use the higher result for both the amazon and the ally.
- Alter Size: Can shrink to the height of a tall human (see below)
