Size Large Feat???

Re: Shard O'Glase....

If the PrC allowed the Barbarian to become large whenever they rage, their equipment would break unless the size changing ability was a supernatural ability....

Hey, why do you think David Banner used to buy his shirts in bulk? :)

Who's David Banner? The Hulk I've always read was Bruce Banner...

Sorry for the OT post but I had to comment on Andion's post. First, hello! Haven't seen ya around, so thought I'd say hi.

Second, I love the avatar, very cool artwork, who's it by?

Third, the quote by your character is marvellous. :)

Oh, and on topic, in a standard D&D game reach is far too powerful an ability to be granted in a single feat. Large size is even more powerful as it grants bonuses to grappling, reach, damage, and more.

I mean seriously, compare that to +1 to ac against one opponent with dodge or +1 to hit with one weapon type for weapon focus and you'll see why a feat shouldn't allow you to change your size category. :) Or at least that's my opinion.
 


Jeremy....

Thanks for the vote of approval.

I don't rember where I got the original image or who it was by (it was some time ago), but I did alter the colors throughout the whole thing and did some work on the eyes to change the exprerssion slightly.

Here is a bigger version of the altered picture at:

The only thing I might want to do later is alter the elven features to match 3rd edition setting. It is hard to alter the features, and still let the "new elven eyes" portray his thoughts as well as his emotions. Besides, the picture is still too anime styled, making the possible alterations even more difficult. By itself though, I really like it... and I'm also glad this guy isn't a bard, because that would be trying way to hard.

As for the quote, I use this character in the Wizard's chat site. The quote comes from a collection of prepared quotes I have readied just in case I need to deal with other obnoxious chatters (especially the autohitters who try to kill you with a single narrated line) and make them more furious that my character does so little when reacting to threats directed at him.

The quotes were used much less often when I played him in game. Since the game fall out, I have been playing around with the ideas of the character, connecting all the dots and adding more details. The history behind his character has gotten to the point where it has spoilers..... spoliers that I will be wanting to hold onto for a good while.

Also, the screen names that I like best are the screen names that based off of people's personal tabletop RPG characters. It would be cool scroll down these posts and look at each character with their own portait/avatar.

Large size by itself, comes with many cool features, and should be treated somewhat like a template, not a feat. Thats why I brought up using Large Size as a theme behind a barbarian PrC where you eventually grow into being Large sized.

Shard O'Glase suggested a "Large Size Barbarian PrC" using the size change, as a supernatural effect of raging

Laugh at me if i'm false, but i remember a feat from Dusk campaign setting. It's named Gargantuism or something like that.

A character got size large, but without attribute changes and natural armor. Only malus to ac and hide, and 10' reach of course.

Hope i could help,
greets Quez

Hey

I was just wondering if there is a Feat or character background or something out there that allows for a character of a normally Medium-sized race to permanently and non-magically become Large. Basically to make a human character that towers 8 ft high or so. Thanks in advance.

Just for the record you have to be NINE FEET TALL to be large. That's huge. On a quick google check I couldn't find records of anybody more than 8 foot tall.

Course, it IS a fantasy game...
 

DevoutlyApathetic: Actually, large size is 8 feet to 16 feet tall by the rules, and IIRC, minotaurs, who are Large, are smaller than that. Thus, there IS the possibility for Large humans (how balanced it is happens to be an entirely different question).
 

Well Robert Wadlow was 8' 11" so only an inch short of 9", give him some thick shoes and he'd be 9 foot. Girallons pack 4 arms into only 8 feet of height and have reach, so he could out reach them. even the tallest hag is only 8 ft and they are all size large, so one could assume that there are 7 foot size large hags, and minotaurs are only about 7 so there have been humans two feet taller than some large creatures.
 

Remember that being "Large" is not counted only with height, but also with width. A lot of creatures of about 8 ft height have "dwarflike" builds and thus become large in total size.
