Posted Sep 26, 2020I would recommend changing the ability score increase to +3 Strength and +2 Constitution. You could try replacing the Uncoordinated trait with the Poor Depth Perception trait that the cyclops has in the Monster Manual. Also, you forgot size, which is Huge.

Posted Sep 26, 2020Thanks, I appreciate it. Your right I completely forgot about size. Poor Depth Perception is a good idea, I'll look into that. I think the 4 to constitution was a typo. Thank you, again I really appreciate it.

Posted Sep 27, 2020I'm a real fan of this race! I think you could also add the poor depth perception idea (mentioned in other comments) as a reason for the decrease in dex, just an idea though
