[QUOTE="Don Durito, post: 7882384, member: 6687260"] I would change their Athletics proficiency. If you don't have proficiency you gain it. If you already have it gain expertise. I would have Stone' Endurance grant resistance. Just seems simpler and it scales better. (But another possibility would be to have it grant a number of D6 DR = to your proficiency bonus). Or because I prefer races to have static bonuses that don't get forgotten you could say they can use their Con instead of there Dex to determine AC when wearing light or medium armour (So no double stacking Con for Unarmoured Barbarians). Maybe let them use the two handed dice on versatile weapons when they use them in one hand (just make sure it's worded so they can't use Great Weapon Master). Or you could go the other way and say they can use great weapons and one hand but the damage dice is reduced to d10. (The result is the same either way). Another possibility is to add in something about if they take the shove or grapples actions they are considered to be one size larger. (So for this purpose they are considered large). But to look at it another way - they have no subraces - this really limits their flexibility. Mechanically they are all melee. [/QUOTE]
