Lord Otaku 07-23-07, 03:14 PM	Are there any Templates that have grant the Powerful Build trait, or otherwise increase the load a character can carry or size of the weapon they can wield? :confused:
Ovistavin 07-23-07, 03:43 PM	Nope. I think the only creatures that have Powerful Build are the Half-Giant, Goliath, and Red Cap.
Wraithwin 07-23-07, 05:07 PM	Well, if you'd be just as good with a Large Sized creature, then there's the "Half Minotaur" template. It originally aired in Dragon Magazine, but CrystalKeep.com has it listed in their templates compilation. :) Let's see, it gives... STR +4, CON +2, INT -2, WIS +2 Natural Armor +2 Bonus Feat: Track Small or Medium creatures increase 1 size category (so Medium goes Large) Movement +10ft Darkvision 60ft Scent +2 Search/Spot/Listen "Damage Category 6" (whatever that means) Gore attack +4 on your save vs Maze spells Always know North Level Adjustment: +1 ...and that's a massive bonus for a +1. O.o Should probably be a +2, but it hasn't been changed... But there's an idea at least.

That was a very comprehensive list. Thank you, Part-Human2. Titan Bloodline - Major (UA) gain "use oversized weapon (ex)" "A titan wields a great, two-handed warhammer (big enough for a Gargantuan creatures) without penalty." ??? Heh. The reason I'm asking is I'm seeing if I can make a Sprite (Monty Cook's Arcana Unearthed) that can wield a big weapon (and possibly carry a lot of stuff) just for the comical and "Oh Shi-!" value. The thought of a little, winged Pixie wielding a Gargantuan, two-handed great war hammer amuses me to no end. ;) :D :evillaugh Does anyone have any suggestions for a way to carry a larger load? Magic items? Feats? Non Wizards of the Coast material is open for discussion.
