[QUOTE="Tales and Chronicles, post: 8400054, member: 6871653"] I would not make damage part of the racial build; this would make the race a must-have for weapon builds. The game has already built-in penalties, such as harder to gain cover to avoid attack or stealth. Equipment cost is also increased, and the PC will consume more food and water, for those who track this kind of thing. I'd go with something like this: [B]Half-giant:[/B] Size: Large Language: You speak common and can decide to speak either giant or another language of your choice. [B]Ability Increase:[/B] +2 and +1 to ability of your choice. [B]Legacy of the Earth-Shakers: [/B]You maximum hit points increase by 1 and you gain 1 more hit point when you advance a level. [B]Long Grasp, Long Gait[/B]: When you make a melee attack on your turn, your reach for it is 5 feet greater than normal. Furthermore, the distance of your long jumps and high jumps increases by 5 feet. [B]Giant-kin Girth[/B]: When you are moved against your will or move a creature, you can use a reaction to reduce or increase the distance by 10 feet. [/QUOTE]
