I dont know what oathbound is, so that may make up the difference if it is incredibly cool. Is there somewhere I could find out what it is or is it only in the book?I know that the dmg usually equates str with double penalties but generally I disagree <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Doesnt matter for this guy though, he winds up with a total of 0 which is cool.I think that a first level character Such as:Large (with only 5' reach)+4 Str, -2 Int, -2 Wisbase speed 40Weapon Familiarity: PolearmsOathBound+2 craft (when metalworking), +2 intimidate+2 natural armorMight be a little much, but not by a whole lot. Making them take the first level with whatever that d8 HD is with no level adjustment would probably put them a little bit underpowered but not for straight barbarian characters who dont care about social niceties <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />d8, (2+int)x4 skill points, +2 F, +0 R, +0 W, +0 BAB..Long post, sorry ;/ Just give me a rating of how powerful or antipowerful oathbound is <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Otherwise one level getting pretty much nothing balances out the rest of the abilities in my book.</blockquote>
