[QUOTE="Phaezen, post: 5021903, member: 42839"] Mkay, A quick search through the compendium shows that of the 13 minotaurs listed as monsters, not one has a large weapon listed in thier equipment. So there is no reason for PC minotaurs to feel jealous of thier npc counterparts. True, the damage expressions of some of those npc minotaurs are higher than what thier weapon would suggest, but that is down to appropriate monster damage for level and role. NPC equipment is windowdressing in 4e. Basically, at the end of the day some pc races given in the Monster Manual, which are flagged as not neccessarily being balanced, had oversized weapons as a race feature. Since then Mike Mearls has come out with a statement that oversized weapons are not easy to balance and no race has that racial feature. I expect the Gnoll to be errated sooner or later. [/QUOTE]
