[QUOTE="malcolm_n, post: 4818852, member: 63154"] While I agree that not all races need to be good, they should be passable, imho. Regardless, here is my weigh in. For easy reference, I agree with Minigiant's rules, posted again here. This race I was working up from the previous thread would have the following exceptions. * TCA can treat one-handed weapons without the off-hand property as two-handed weapons for powers with which it would matter (like barbarian attacks). * They gain the halfling's +2 AC against Opportunity attacks and Defensive Mobility as a bonus feat. * TCA cannot flank by normal means because of its lack of reach. Instead, a creature that leaves the square occupied by TCA draws an opportunity attack. TCA has combat advantage during this attack. * TCA can spend a superior weapon proficiency feat to wield a versatile weapon in two hands, but takes a -1 penalty to attack when doing so. So a TCA with SWP (Bastard Sword) has +2 prof, but can deal 1d10 damage as normal. * A TCA with Strength 15 can take a racial feat to gain reach 1 with one-handed weapons it wields in two hands. This also allows it to flank with said weapons. * A TCA rogue can take a racial feat to still flank creatures from an adjacent square when it wields a rogue weapon (light blade, etc) * A TCA ranger can take a racial feat to wield a one-handed weapon in its main hand while it has an off-hand weapon in it's off hand.
