I'm sure this question has been asked before but are there any races (aside from the Goliath and half-giant, please) that have the powerful build trait? Thanks in advance.

Races of stone should have the feral gargaun as well.

Powerful Build is nice, but I'm not sure why I see it popping up in some many places...

Well I personally am interested in making a Greatblade Soldier (http://forums.gleemax.com/wotc_archive/index.php/t-573239), which quickly looking at it you can see how powerful build comes in handy (big big big weapons, lol). I also believed I found a pretty good race in the fluff thread on the races forum called the Jotun, if anyone else is curious about powerful build options. Also, can't powerful build be taken as a 1st level feat, thus adding the option of perhaps a human using their bonus feat to obtain it?

Powerful Build is too powerful for just a feat. The worst part of powerful build appears in the feat Monkey Grip though.

I think there was a feat somewhere called Jotunbrood or something like that. Basically, it gave you something similar to Powerful Build, because you had giant blood.
