Powerful Build

I was wondering what people would recommend for something like powerful build, which allowed races to take weapons a size category above their normal size eg medium sized creatures with large sized weapons.

powerful build/slight build should have just been feats. powerful build, in a best case scenario is 3.5 extra damage per hit for the price of a race choice and a gold tax. also it's a tendency for these races to have a strength bonus.

if you want just the oversized weapons part, i would price it at 8 RP.

6 base (like elemental weapons) plus 2 for the fact that energy resistance won't affect this damage, that it stacks with stuff like enlarge, and the fact it will most likely be combined with a strength bonus.


8RP for Powerful Build would leave the DSP-conversion of the Half-Giant as more than 10 RP. Not sure if that's bad, just notable.


well, it was based on the huge price of elemental weapons in the playtest. but not every race needs to be 10RP on the dot. some can be a little off.
