[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 7600929, member: 58172"] Large size characters. I was planning to do the following mechanic for a particular race. But now I think I will make it normal for everyone. The idea is, characters must invest in high Constitution to balance out benefits of size. Constitution score: size 1 to 4: Tiny 5 to 8: Small 9 to 12: Medium 13 to 16: Medium (Powerful Build) 17 to 20: Large 21 to 24: Huge 25 to 28: Gargantuan Powerful Build 5e merely allows someone to carry more - when few pay attention to weight limits anyway. So I consider it flavor that is possibly interesting for DM narrative adjudication. Certain size issues are no problem - dwarf stoutness, quadruped, large wingspan. Grappling is an issue but investment in Constitution cant go to Str or Dex. The main issue is Large oversize weapons double the weapon damage dice. My concern is balance. As far as I can tell this seems ok. [/QUOTE]
