#1 Xuub Mar 16, 2015 6:14:52	I have a player who would like to play a race made of stone.  Sort of like Obsidimen from Earthdawn.  Would it be too unbalancing to a game to have a race with the benefits of the Stoneskin spell?   Basically it's permanent resistance to nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.   Just curious what other DMs think...
#2 Seuleslintan Mar 16, 2015 6:39:29	Barbarian Rage gives  you 1 minute (10 rounds) resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage War Cleric gets with lvl 15+ the same effect permanent   for a race bonus? not even with 0 Stat Bonus, no Infravision   maybe give the race 1 charge for some rounds per day?   the goliath race gets 1w12+con damage reduction per day!
#3 Ath-kethin Mar 16, 2015 7:20:25	Stoneskin is too powerful an option for this idea.  Maybe if you modified it - resistance to slashing and piering, but vulnerability to bludgeoning (combined with another drawback), but as the spell it is way too much.

(Reply to #3) DMStevenH	I say, give him resistance to slashing and peircing and vulnerability to thunder and disadvantage on saving throws against thunder damage.

#7 Catodon Mar 16, 2015 22:50:32	As above in some games the community frequently 're-skins' races etc. but the idea is under utilised in D&D
