Trying to make a Pathfinder 'Race Point' total for the 3.5 Half Giants and Goliath's. Was looking for opinions on how many RP's the powerful build ability would be.
I was thinking 4 RP's but wanted other opinions to make sure I am not far off base.
Hmm... if you are going strictly by the costs in the book, it’s essentially almost the same thing as the large ability, but with less downside, so I’d price it a bit higher than 4 RP. At least the same as Large (7). Although, I also think that the race builder is a bit off on the point costs, so take that with a grain of salt.

Not sure on the pricing, but I disagree with your assessment. For most characters, the number 1 advantage of being large is increasing your reach, which Powerful Build does not do.

Weird thing is there seems to be a conflict in the race builder with the standard size rules. A large humanoid via race builder only has a 5 foot natural reach, whereas in the standard rules they have 10 foot.
Still not sure if powerful build is as good as full large but perhaps 6 points is more appropriate.
