[QUOTE="Zerith, post: 5963705, member: 99953"] Given that I was commenting on changing Monstrous humanoid to humanoid, but was worried about a possible complication/cheese because I have to admit, I like the game mechanics from the Goliath's rage variant, I think its plain to see I meant the whole kit and tackle. Because: Full pit fiend is way outside of ECL 3. Adds aspects that are utterly unrelated to the character. Etc. A Goliath's stats on the other hand just give off the feel of "big", they have higher strength and con, sounds like your average bigger character to me, and the lower Dex also makes them behave more like a large character (easier to hit). They can use a large weapon normally, again, like a large character. all in all they just feel like more weighty characters. The mountain movement is a bit off track, but at the same time, it does not clash with anything either; I do like the idea that one aspect would make him a little harder to fool and that he is use to cold areas* fits the character nicely ;3 (*In this RP the only real chance we have for cold weather is high altitude) But I’ve also more or less said that, while I would prefer to use a Goliath’s stats, it’s no skin off my back if HM says no. I’m a 'bit' oblivious so, HM, if you feel iffy about it, at all, just tell me, and I’ll post up the amended, fully human, character in a short while :3 ... or after I finish the description in my slow ass way ^_^; (Not using Goliath now would be even less of an issue now that I’ve found Jotunbrud, with it and monkey grip it really helps to fill out the character’s feel of size :D) [/QUOTE]
