[QUOTE="Salthorae, post: 7843272, member: 1095"] Interesting that we have almost complete opposite views on these subraces. Could be because I play sneaky/skill type characters even when I'm a spellcaster, so a free Expertise in Thieves' tools (because really what else were you using that ability for?) sounds great to me. You basically are better than a variant human because you get a +2 Con on top of the two +1's and you still get all the construct benefits and you get the prodigy feat with tools that can't be taken or lost. As I pointed out earlier, the Juggernaut is essentially a Mountain Dwarf + it doesn't have to sleep + it has Powerful Build + a 30' move. Sounds great to me. I don't think Juggernaut is any more or less worthy of being a race/subrace than Goliath or Mountain Dwarf which are it's two main comp's in the racial abilities department. As for the unarmed strike... they were just keeping it in line with any other race that has natural unarmed strikes for damage purposes. Nothing wrong with that. Unless you're a monk Unarmed striking is not the way to go in combat (by Design as noted by Crawford many times). So that is a nice to have but not critical part of the race. [/QUOTE]
