So, I've been wanting to build a character that's basically an intelligent gorilla, maybe a bit more humanoid, a bit broader. I've got him sussed as a strength based open hand monk with a 3 level dip into barbarian - I'm thinking totem of the tiger for the jump boost. Background would be a gladiator. I've never homebrewed anything so not quite sure how to balance it but for the race I was looking at mainly using the orc abilities but maybe losing darkvision and the -2 intelligence. Thoughts?
I did consider a shifter with an ape theme but it just felt a bit lacklustre.
I would think re-skinning the Orc would work out pretty good. With the changes you mentioned especially. I would add the powerful build feature from the big orc.
