[QUOTE="Cap'n Kobold, post: 8602795, member: 6802951"] Bite is effectively the same as the Claws trait. I'd suggest simply merging it into the base class able to deal Piercing and slashing damage with their unarmed attacks. The feat could do with something else. I would suggest a benefit of some sort to when you roll HD to heal. Maybe add your Proficiency bonus? [LIST] Could probably do with something else as well. Maybe giving additional HD (since these are a rather limited resource.) This just seems like two ribbons. It is unlikely that a Troll character will have a Dex high enough to use their Natural Armour rather than worn armour. There are very few mechanics in 5e that chop off nonvital body parts. You could probably happily remove this feat and drop the higher-level one down to this level. Large weapons: The suggestion that a weapon scaled to fit you is a different proficiency doesn't really fit in terms of thematics or mechanics. There would be more of an argument that you would have trouble using a medium-sized greatsword when you are large sized, since it is no longer scaled to your proportions. PCs don't lose their proficiency in their weapons when they grow in size and their weapons grow with them through other effects. Also, many of the classes that this race would be appealing to are automatically proficient in all martial weapons. There are very few which would have specific proficiency in Greatsword (medium).[/list] [/QUOTE]
