I haven't seen any race like this, but if there is a race like this, then sorry about taking your race. Skullcrusher Humans Skullcrusher ogres are the larger and more ferocious of the ogre race so are the skullcrusher humans. They are the hulking gladiators of the pit, and the barbarian leaders of the frozen wastelands. Skullcrusher humans are the larger of the human race. The blood of giants supposedly runs in their veins. Physical Description: Skullcrusher humans look like normal humans except for being large. They typically stand about 6 and a half - 7 and a half feet tall and weigh about 220 - 280 pounds. Racial Abilities: +2 str, +2 con, -2 dex, -2 cha, and either a -2 wis or int: being large, they are naturally strong and sturdy, but are slow, savage, and reckless, Medium size Speed: 30 ft Powerful build trait: The physical stature of a skullcrusher human lets him function in many ways as if he were one size category larger. Whenever a skullcrusher is subject to a size modifier or special modifier for an opposed check (such as during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts), the skullcrusher is treated as one size larger is doing so is advantageous to him. A skullcrusher is also considered o be one size larger when determining whether a creature’s special attacks based on size (such as improved grab or swallow whole) can affect him. A skullcrusher can use weapons weapons designed for a creature one size larger without penalty. However, his space and reach remain those of a creature of his actual size. The benefits of these racial trait stack with the effects of powers, abilities, and spells that change the subjects’s size category. As a added benefit, unique to the skullcrushers, their unarmed strike damage is treated as one size larger. Bonus feat: They are still human and as such they still get a bonus feat. -2 to diplomacy, +2 to intimidate: They have a reputation for brutality. La +1 favored race: barbarian EDIT: I added +1 LA as JarionSilverblades suggested.

Fiendishfiend 02-09-07, 04:59 PM	I forgot to put the level adjustment. I want it to be a +0 so that way, half-orcs aren't the only barbarians at the start of a game.
JarionSilverblades 02-09-07, 06:59 PM	I think that just with the ability modifiers you’re pushing LA +1, once you add in Powerful build and the bonus feat, I think you’ve reached LA +1. Maybe remove powerful build, and in it’s place give them a +2 racial bonus on all grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts. Remove +2 Con, and give them a +1 bonus on all Fortitude saving throws. I’m sure there are others that could give you better ideas, these are just off the top of my head. :duel:

JarionSilverblades 03-01-07, 04:24 PM	BUMP!!! :bump:
