#1 Meowmeowmeow134 Jul 01, 2015 14:10:47	I am trying to find basic race traits for non basic races, i have only seen one article about Gnolls, one of the races i want to make a character out of, but what i really want is to create a cyclops character, his story would deal with the fact that he is a very short cyclops but is still large compared to humans, so i was wondering if anybody could possibly help me out with race traits and powers and heights and weight and size speed ect... so if you could help me out i would appreciete it.

I´m not sure I´ve ever read that Cyclops were described as having poor sight or perception because of their one eye, but perhaps disadvantage to ether perception or ranged attacks might be ok (but it has to be compensated with something significant)

No one ever seems to like my big races. The normal and small ones yeah, but the big ones no.
#13 Mecheon Jul 03, 2015 18:47:48	For Cyclops, just go back to 4E and take that flavour and content   Because you either have ever other editions "Hill giants, but with ONE EYE!" or 4E's "Let's actually do something interesting with these guys"
