The main disadvantage this offered was the lack of the strong racial feats the PHB races get, so I promised them I'd try to hammer out some racial feats for the monsters. I figured I'd share what I came up with for others to use as they will.All of these feats are heroic tier for now. I may post some paragon and epic level ones later.Focused Ferocity [Minotaur]Prerequisite: Minotaur, ferocity racial traitBenefit: When reduced to 0 hit points, you can use any power you know with a range of melee in place of a basic attack.Goblin-born Leader [Hobgoblin]Prerequisite: HobgoblinBenefit: You gain a +2 feat racial bonus to all Bluff, Diplomacy, and Intimidate checks made against goblins, wolves, and worgs.
