[QUOTE="Jackinthegreen, post: 6285270, member: 6678119"] About the only way I know of to get proper large size full time without LA or racial HD is through making an Enlarge Person spell permanent on you. If you do that you're going to be at risk for getting it Dispelled, so it's not really worth it. The only LA 0 races/creatures I know of that are large are the anthro baleen whale and the anthro huge viper, which are found in Savage Species. Both of them have 3 racial HD though, but monstrous humanoid is a pretty good type to be. An LA +1 race is the half-ogre also from Savage Species, but it got "updated" to LA +2 in Races of Destiny. The anthro races and the half-ogres are the only races I know of that are normally large with only one of LA or racial HD. Sources for me include [url]http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=1281.0[/url] and [url]http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=342.0[/url], which are both pretty comprehensive. There are some races with Powerful Build which allows the character to function as if it was large for several things, but the creature is still actually medium and just really big for a medium creature. The three races with PB are: Goliath from Races of Stone, half-giant from Expanded Psionics Handbook, and Eneko from Secrets of Sarlona. The most "human" of those is the half-giant. The feat Dandu linked kinda functions like Powerful Build in some aspects and would be the easiest thing to rework fluff-wise as your character just being abnormally big. [/QUOTE]
