[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 7882279, member: 6704184"] So, related to my other recent thread, I like playing a Goliath, but they are somewhat mechanically weak. Well, they’re not quite underpowered in a meaningful sense, but they’re at the lower end of viable, and they lack a real standout feature. Suggestions I’ve seen or would propose myself: *Buff Stones Endurance. Make it a bigger number, or usable more often, or just grant Resistance. Or even just DR equal to some scaling character number like Con or Proficiency Mod. *Give them greater speed and jump distance along with their Powerful Build stuff *Give them a bonus to unarmed strikes for their stoney skin and dense bones *Buff their cold acclimation to include resistance to cold damage and/or advantage on saves against cold effects *Double their range with thrown weapons, and make them proficient with improvised thrown weapons. *Add a Voice of The Mountain feature that lets them intimidate or inspire with a battle cry or chant?
