[QUOTE="Eloi, post: 3396823, member: 27826"] I would be hard-pressed to allow any race that had Powerful Build *twice*. Seems likely that the entire race would have been hunted to extinction by wolves, with their propensity to trip first and hunt down delicious survivors later. Powerful Build is good enough to solidify the decision for boosting a race fully to that next LA step. If there was some emerging race of Spartan-Orcs with an additional +2 to Strength, another nifty Feat and Powerful Build, they'd be worth the full +1 LA, even without added Reach. IMHO, Powerful Build is a nice Racial-Only feat. It won't aid your Fort save or improve your hit points like the Constitution you would have gained from a true Med-> Large upgrade, and it makes you a more obvious first-to-eliminate (seeing as how you conveniently happen to be bigger, you target you). If you're tired of playing a Dwarf, this isn't bad. [/QUOTE]
